View Supported Connectors

ETM easily connects your third-party vendors to import the vendor security and risk management data to Qualys for TruRisk analysis. These integrations help you consolidate vendor information, enrich TruRisk scoring, and gain a unified view of your overall security posture.

By automating data flows from external vendors, you improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and ensure more accurate, timely insights.

Why Use Connectors

• Centralized data management

  Gather all security and risk insights from multiple vendors in one place for easier tracking and reporting.

• Improved visibility across multiple vendors

  Understand vendor‑specific findings across diverse tools without switching between platforms.

• Streamlined risk assessment

  Integrate findings directly into ETM’s TruRisk scoring, enabling consistent and comparative analysis.

• Reduced Manual Effort

  Automate large‑scale data imports, saving time and lowering the chance of human error.

• Enhanced reporting capabilities

  Get unified dashboards and reports combining internal and vendor-based data.

Connector Types

ETM supports two primary types of connectors, each designed for different integration needs:

CSV Connectors

CSV-based connectors allow you to upload data files exported from your vendors.

How they work:

• Map your vendor’s CSV fields to ETM fields during one‑time configuration.
• After setup, simply upload the CSV file anytime you want to import data.
• No API or system-level integration required.

Best for: vendors that provide exported reports but do not offer APIs.

API Connectors 

API connectors automatically fetch data from vendors using their native APIs.

How they work:

• Establish an authenticated connection with the vendor system.
• ETM regularly pulls new or updated findings.
• Data is processed and mapped automatically.

Best for: vendors that support API‑based data access and frequent updates.

The next section of the documentation provides a detailed list of currently supported:

• CSV connector formats
• Vendor API connectors

Each entry includes configuration requirements, mapping details, and data import guidelines.
 

The CSV Connector configuration is a one-time activity. After successfully configuring the connector, you can upload a CSV file every time you run the connector and your data is imported without any further action required.
