Tripwire Enterprise Integration Framework

Integrate. Automate. Simplify.

You have many complex systems to manage in your environment and sometimes those multiple “sources of truth” don’t necessarily agree. Tripwire® Enterprise (TE) Integration Framework provides an automated way for systems to directly integrate and communicate with each other. 

  • TE Integration Framework (TEIF) supports popular IT Service Management (ITSM) products, including ServiceNow, Jira, Cherwell, ChangeGear, and CA Service Desk. It also supports home-grown change management systems that use a JDBC-supported database. 

  • TEIF can reconcile observed changes against approved change requests, automatically promoting those changes within Tripwire Enterprise.

  • Any changes not reconciled can be reported as incident tickets for your security or operations team to investigate (assuming API support for incident creation). Tripwire Enterprise provides full details of the unauthorized change, which can be attached to the ticket. 

  • TEIF can query your configuration management database (CMDB) to retrieve metadata about in-scope assets such as business function or system owner, and automatically apply corresponding asset tags within Tripwire Enterprise.

  • A True-Up feature for ServiceNow and Cherwell integrations reports on differences between what assets ‘are’ monitored with TE vs. the assets the CMDB says ‘should be’ monitored.

  • TEIF provides the ability to update CIs in the CMDB with the TE compliance status from TE. This is helpful in identifying compliance failures from the CMDB directly.

In addition, with Tripwire Enterprise Integration Framework you can use data harvested directly from the node to update your CMDB’s records for the corresponding asset to ensure that Tripwire Enterprise and your CMDB stay in close alignment. 

TEIF adds increased automation for data center operations and IT security teams, helping to simplify and automate many complex types of systems in the environment including:

Change Management 

  • Capture actual details of implemented change

  • Reconcile observed against approved changes

Incident Management 

  • Get full details of unauthorized changes attached to an incident ticket for investigation

CMDB

  • Retrieve attribute/metadata about in-scope assets

  • Automatically apply corresponding asset tags within Tripwire Enterprise

  • Leverage data harvested direction from the node to update CMDB records and stay aligned 

 

Tripwire Apps Help You Achieve a New Level of Scale and Workflow Efficiency with Your Tripwire Solution

Other Available Tripwire Apps

Tripwire Event Sender 

Sends compliance, scoring, and change data to other systems such as SIEMs and enterprise reporting products, giving overall security ecosystem visibility for the enterprise. 

Tripwire Dynamic Software Reconciliation 

Reduces workload by identifying known good changes from legitimate patch sources, increasing confidence that automating the patch promotion process will only facilitate known good changes, and potentially “bad” changes cannot sneak in during times that configurations are known to be changing (such as Patch Tuesdays). 

Tripwire Enterprise Commander 

Cross-platform command line interface for Tripwire Enterprise, allowing unlimited integration and workflow possibilities. This facility delivers the greatest flexibility and customization to our customers.

Custom Workflow Automation 

This app allows for rapid development of custom workflows that require communication with non-ITSM third-party systems. Examples include: 

  • Tracking configuration changes in OT products such as Claroty, Forescout, and Tofino

  • Configuration monitoring in cloud application platforms such as OpenShift

  • Integrating with DevOps tools like Artifactory and Azure DevOps to make sure processes are being followed
