IBM Security Advisor

Integrating with IBM Security Advisor​

NeuVector Integrates with IBM Security Advisor on IBM Cloud.

To generate the registration URL required, please log into the NeuVector console as an administrator and go to Settings -> Configuration.

  1. Enable "Integrate with IBM Security Advisor" -> Submit
  2. Click "Get URL" -> Copy to clipboard

ibmconfigure

Then return to the IBM Security Advisor console, and under "Enter the NeuVector setup URL", type in https://{NeuVector controller hostname/ip}:{port} and paste what is copied in from the steps above. For the port, use the exposed NeuVector REST API port (default is 10443). For multi-cluster environments this is also the 'fed-worker' service which exposes this port.

IBM Security Advisor will communicate with your NeuVector cluster controller thru the provided hostname or IP. Note: This may need to be exposed as a service for access from outside the Kubernetes cluster, similar to how the REST API is exposed as a service.

Verifying the Connection​

When the connection is successfully created between IBM Security Advisor & NeuVector, you will see the green "Connected at {date, time}" icon next to "Integrate with IBM Security Advisor" in the NeuVector Console.
