Article summary

Rapid7 InsightVM provides visibility and risk prioritization for vulnerabilities found in local, remote, cloud, containerized, and virtual infrastructure.

Note:

Axonius uses the InsightVM Cloud Integrations API. This API refers to InsightVM API v4. If you use a previous version of InsightVM that supports Rapid7 InsightVM API v3, use the Rapid7 Nexpose and InsightVM adapter.


Types of Assets Fetched

This adapter fetches the following types of assets:

  • Devices
  • Vulnerabilities
  • SaaS Applications

Parameters

  1. Domain (required, default: us.api.insight.rapid7.com) - The domain of the Rapid7 InsightVM server. The default domain is us.api.insight.rapid7.com. This value may vary depending on your Rapid7 accounts 'region'. More information is available under Rapid7 Supported Regions.

  2. API Key (required) - An Organization API Key that has permissions to fetch all assets.

    Note:

    An organization key must be used for this connection. If your company does not allow the use of an organization key, you need to use a user-generated key which can be used with the Rapid7 Nexpose and InsightVM adapter.

  3. Verify SSL - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.

  4. HTTPS Proxy (optional) - A proxy to use when connecting to the value supplied in Domain.

  5. HTTPS Proxy User Name (optional) - The user name to use when connecting to the value supplied in Domain via the value supplied in HTTPS Proxy.

  6. HTTPS Proxy Password (optional) - The password to use when connecting to the value supplied in Domain via the value supplied in HTTPS Proxy.

Advanced Settings

Note:

Advanced settings can either apply for all connections for this adapter, or you can set different advanced settings and/or different scheduling for a specific connection, refer to ​Advanced Configuration for Adapters.

  1. Assets per page (optional, default: 150) - Set the number of assets to fetch per page.

  2. Exclude devices missing all of the following: IP, Hostname, MAC (optional) - Select this option to exclude devices with no MAC address, no hostname, and no IP address from the fetch. If the devices have none of these fields it is not fetched.

  3. Tag Keys Include list (optional) - Specify a comma-separated list of Tag Keys in Rapid7 InsightVM. When supplied, all connections for this adapter will only fetch devices from Rapid7 InsightVM with the Tag Keys provided in this list.

  4. Do not fetch devices without Last Seen and no hostname (optional) - Select this option to exclude devices in which Last Seen or hostname information is unavailable.

  5. Do not fetch devices without a MAC address or Hostname (optional) - Select this option to exclude devices without a MAC address or hostname from the fetch. When the option is cleared, Axonius will fetch devices even if they do not have a MAC address or hostname.

  6. Remediated vulnerabilities comparison date (optional) - Select a date in which device vulnerabilities are compared to determine if they were subsequently patched. For example, a device had vulnerable software on December 10, 2022. The software was updated on January 10, 2023, remediating the vulnerability; if the selected comparison date is January 1, 2023, then the vulnerability information is fetched and considered a remediated vulnerability.
    If no date is selected, then remediated vulnerabilities aren't fetched.

  7. Deduplicate devices - This API often yields the same device multiple times (matching MAC, hostname, IP). Enable this option to choose only the device with the latest last-seen timestamp.

  8. Classify adapter property based on open ports - Select this option to classify the adapter property as Agent when the asset's ports 22, 135, and 445 are open and status = SUPPLIED_SUCCESS.

  9. Vulnerability Advanced Settings - When you toggle this on, the following configurations become available:

    • Vulnerability Findings to Fetch - Select which vulnerability severity level to fetch. The options are Moderate, Severe, and Critical (all selected by default).
    • Do not ingest duplicate CVEs (default: true) - Select this option to avoid fetching duplicate CVEs.
  10. Only fetch devices if they have a MAC address and a hostname and an IP address - Select this option to only fetch devices that have both a MAC address, and a hostname and an IP address.

Note:

APIs

Axonius uses the InsightVM Cloud Integrations API. This API refers to InsightVM API v4. If you use a previous version of InsightVM that supports API v3, use the Rapid7 Nexpose and InsightVM adapter.

Required Ports

Axonius must be able to communicate with the value supplied in Host Name or IP Address via the following ports:

  • TCP port 443


Troubleshooting

Make sure you perform monthly maintenance and tuning on your On-Premise Rapid7 Postgresql database as explained by Rapid7. This ensures optimzed Axonius fetch performance.
