3.2.2. Before your connect

Before you connect your Analysis Cockpit to your Security Center, decide which cases should be synchronized to the Security Center. Keep in mind, that once synchronized, data will remain on the Security Center, even if synchronization criteria are modified.

We recommend to only synchronize cases that contain actionable information, which is fully analyzed and finally validated. For that reason, we recommend to only synchronize data with a case status of Closed. In this situation, Closed means that the analysis is finished.

It is important to understand that a case with status Closed will lead to one or more Findings being opened within the Security Center. The actual remediation is then tracked within the Security Center.

3.2.3. Configure your Analysis Cockpit

Log into your Analysis Cockpit and navigate to Settings > Link > Security Center.

The Automatic Mode will automatically flag all cases in your Security Center, which match the criteria from Case Types and Case Status.

Important

As with all our products, you have to use a FQDN to connect the Analysis Cockpit with your Security Center. Make sure that the Analysis Cockpit can resolve the FQDN of the Security Center and reach it via the necessary port.

You can have find the needed network ports in the chapter Analysis Cockpit.

Once you connected your Analysis Cockpit to your Security Center, you can find the status and some statistics in your Security Center in Settings > Analysis Cockpit.
