INTEGRATION

NetBox Labs

Enriching OT and IT asset visibility in Nozomi Vantage with data-center and network asset inventory from NetBox.

About
NetBox Labs

NetBox is a open-source data center infrastructure management and IP address management platform providing device inventory, rack management, cable tracking and network documentation. By integrating NetBox with Nozomi Vantage, security teams gain a consolidated view of managed assets across IT and OT environments — importing data-center and network asset inventory directly into Vantage. This enriches the asset registry with authoritative data from the NetBox Labs management plane, accelerating incident investigation, reducing blind spots in critical infrastructure environments and enabling analysts to correlate cmdb telemetry with OT network observations without switching consoles.

Features

Importer Data Types

Vantage imports the following from
NetBox
:
  • Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

    NetBox supplies records including device name, primary IP, MAC, manufacturer, model, role, site, rack location, serial number and last-updated timestamp — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

Joint Use Cases

  • Correlating NetBox Labs 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 NetBox record in Vantage to review CI ownership, environment, location and recent change history, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by NetBox Labs, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

  • Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

    Devices recorded by NetBox but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with CI name, IPs, MAC, manufacturer, model and location drawn from the NetBox Labs 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.

  • Aligning CMDB ownership with OT-observed asset reality

    Network-observed assets in Vantage are reconciled against their CMDB CI in NetBox, surfacing devices that exist on the network but not in the CMDB, and vice versa. This supports the asset-governance workflows that ITAM and OT engineering teams need to keep ownership, location and lifecycle data accurate.

Integration Prerequesites

  • Active Nozomi Vantage tenant with the connector-configuration role assigned to the administering account
  • NetBox instance (self-hosted or NetBox Cloud) with an API token generated under Admin → API Tokens
  • Consistent hostname, IP or MAC addressing between NetBox-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)
  • 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)
