Importer Data Types

• Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

  Cisco Vulnerability Management supplies records including asset ID, hostname, IPs, OS, asset tags, risk meter group and last-seen timestamp — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

• Asset CPE and CVE Import

  Cisco Vulnerability Management produces CVE findings with the Cisco Vulnerability Management risk score, exploit kit and active-breach context. These findings are imported into Vantage as CPE-correlated vulnerability records, enabling prioritized remediation tracking within the Nozomi asset context.

Joint Use Cases

• Correlating Cisco signals with OT network alerts

  When Nozomi Vantage raises an anomaly alert for a device inside an OT segment, the analyst can pivot to the same asset's Cisco Vulnerability Management record in Vantage to review last scan date, open vulnerability count and highest-severity finding, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by Cisco, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

• Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

  Devices recorded by Cisco Vulnerability Management but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with hostname, OS, FQDN, agent ID and last-scanned timestamp drawn from the Cisco management plane. OT operations teams can audit the resulting unified inventory to identify unmonitored or underprotected assets in industrial and critical infrastructure zones, then prioritize sensor deployment accordingly.

• Prioritizing vulnerability remediation on critical OT assets

  CVE findings and severity scores imported from Cisco Vulnerability Management are surfaced alongside Nozomi's OT risk scoring for each asset, allowing security engineers to rank remediation effort by both vulnerability severity and the operational criticality of the affected device. This joint view enables compliance reporting workflows, such as IEC 62443 gap assessments, to reference both network-observed risk and Cisco-confirmed vulnerability data from a single Vantage dashboard.
