Edgescan

PlexTrac integrates with Edgescan, allowing users to import the findings from Edgescan's vulnerability detection into a PlexTrac report. This integration streamlines the process by leveraging the automated vulnerability scanning capabilities of Edgescan and the reporting and management features of PlexTrac. This integration enhances collaboration, simplifies reporting, and helps streamline the overall vulnerability management process.
This is a licensed feature.

Field Mappings

Below are the field mappings from Edgescan to PlexTrac, broken up by findings and assets.
Tables include the following columns:
  • Edgescan Field: this is the field name that appears in Edgescan
  • PlexTrac Field: this is the field name that appears in PlexTrac
  • Direction: this displays the direction that the flow of data is occurring for the integration (a value of "x" means that the value is not imported)
  • Required: this denotes if a value is required for the field for the import to be successful
  • Notes: additional information

After a finding from Edgescan is imported into a report, metadata and content are presented within PlexTrac on the Finding Detail page, as shown below. The finding source value is "Edgescan," and any tags associated with the finding from Edgescan are provided along with any added within PlexTrac when imported.

Deduplication Logic

If a duplicate finding title is found during import, the finding title in PlexTrac is appended with the Edgescan Vulnerability ID in parenthesis at the end of the finding title.

Integrating with Edgescan

Step 1: From the Admin Dashboard, click Integrations under the "Tools & Integrations" header.
​
​
Step 2: Click the Edgescan box.
Step 3: Click New connection.
Step 4: On the Configuration Details tab, enter a name for the integration, the Edgescan URL value, the Edgescan API key, and if closed vulnerabilities should be included.
  • Integration name: A name for this integration. This value will appear elsewhere in the platform along with other enabled integrations when importing findings, so pick a unique but accurate name.
  • Edgescan URL: The Edgescan instance URL.
  • Edgescan API Key: The Edgescan instance API key. Visit Edgescan support for information on generating an API key.
  • Closed Vulnerabilities: Determines whether to include closed vulnerabilities and, if yes, the time period of closure to consider for inclusion.
Step 5: On the Mapping tab, review the mappings and select the fields to import into PlexTrac by validating that the checkbox next to the field is selected. To ignore a field upon import, uncheck the box under the "Sync" column. Required fields (checkbox is greyed out) cannot be altered.
Step 6: Click Save.
Step 7: A message on the First Synch tab will confirm if the synch was successful. If successful, click Got It.
The connection is now listed.

Editing Existing Connections

Connections are edited by clicking Edit under the "Actions" column.
Connections can be disabled by clicking the toggle bar under the "Enabled" column.
​
Connections can be manually synchronized by clicking Sync under the "Actions" column.
