INTEGRATION

N-able

Enriching OT and IT asset visibility in Nozomi Vantage with managed endpoint inventory and software data from N-able N-central.

About
N-able

N-able N-central is a remote monitoring and management platform for MSPs providing device monitoring, patch management, automation and remote access across Windows, macOS and Linux. By integrating N-able N-central with Nozomi Vantage, security teams gain a consolidated view of managed assets across IT and OT environments — importing managed endpoint inventory and software data directly into Vantage. This enriches the asset registry with authoritative data from the N-able management plane, accelerating incident investigation, reducing blind spots in critical infrastructure environments and enabling analysts to correlate rmm telemetry with OT network observations without switching consoles.

Features

Importer Data Types

Vantage imports the following from
N-able N-central
:
  • Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

    N-able N-central supplies records including device name, IPs, MAC, OS, customer assignment, site and last-contact timestamp — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

  • Asset Software Inventory Import

    N-able N-central reports installed software inventory with name, vendor and version per device. This per-asset software list is imported into Vantage, giving OT security teams an authoritative view of what is running on each observed device.

Joint Use Cases

  • Correlating N-able 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 N-able N-central record in Vantage to review recent script jobs, agent uptime and patch state, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by N-able, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

  • Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

    Devices recorded by N-able N-central but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with device name, OS, customer/site assignment and agent state drawn from the N-able 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.

  • Validating endpoint-management coverage across IT and OT

    By matching N-able N-central-managed devices against Vantage's network-observed inventory, operations teams can identify endpoints that are network-active but missing from N-able N-central management — a common gap for contractor laptops, engineering workstations and legacy systems in industrial environments.

Integration Prerequesites

  • Active Nozomi Vantage tenant with the connector-configuration role assigned to the administering account
  • N-able N-central server with an API user account granted Read access and an API token
  • N-able N-central license tier and feature set that includes software-inventory collection
  • Consistent hostname, IP or MAC addressing between N-able N-central-recorded assets and Vantage-observed assets to enable accurate asset correlation and deduplication
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
