Effective asset management and rapid incident response are crucial for maintaining cybersecurity defenses. To address these needs, and building on its previous Vulnerability Response module integration, CyCognito has announced a new certified integration with ServiceNow's Configuration Management Database (CMDB). This integration enhances asset visibility and streamlines management, offering a significant boost to organizations' security postures by facilitating quick assessment and response to configuration and asset changes.
Historically, CMDB solutions have only provided visibility into internal assets and their configuration. The integration between CyCognito and ServiceNow CMDB brings end-to-end synchronization for managing an organization's complete asset inventory. By synchronizing CyCognito assets with ServiceNow Configuration Items (CIs) in the CMDB, organizations can now automatically create, update, and delete CIs based on the status of external assets acquired through the CyCognito CMDB Integration. This dynamic synchronization ensures that the CMDB is always up-to-date with the latest asset information, facilitating quick assessment and response to configuration and asset changes.
The CyCognito CMDB Integration facilitates the periodic retrieval of external assets from the CyCognito platform and populates them into ServiceNow CMDB. It also displays the relationship between the related assets, providing a comprehensive view of the asset ecosystem.

One of the world’s leading global information services companies standardized with the ServiceNow ITSM platform. The main reason for the standardization was to ensure that IT and SecOps had one source of truth about their assets, risks, and management tools. Working with CyCognto to discover their external attack surface then required that CyCognito provide integration into their ServiceNow CMDB, giving them visibility to internal and external assets. The Cycognito certified integration supports the latest Service Graph architecture and incorporates an Identification and Resolution Engine (IRE) to streamline issue management and reduce ticket duplication allowing for faster resolution to the most critical issues.
CyCognito's latest integration with ServiceNow CMDB represents a significant step forward in enhancing both asset management and cybersecurity. By leveraging the combined strengths of these platforms, organizations can achieve greater visibility, improved management of internal and external assets, and a stronger defense against security threats.
