Nikto Summary

The integration of Nikto security solutions with the Centraleyezer Vulnerability Management platform enhances the import and management of security findings. This collaboration enables organizations to efficiently identify, prioritize, track, and remediate vulnerabilities, improving their overall security posture and risk management.

Nikto Key Features

  • Data Import:

    • Import assets, scan summaries, and vulnerabilities from Nikto security tools into Centraleyezer, either on-demand or via automated schedules.
    • Supported formats: XML.

  • Detailed Findings:

    • Centraleyezer provides comprehensive vulnerability details based on Nikto security assessments.

  • Risk Scoring:

    • Configurable severity values for Nikto findings, aligned with organizational risk policies.

  • Selective Data Import:

    • Supports filtering based on status, scan type, and severity for more precise data imports.

  • Secure Connectivity:

Considerations

  • The integration supports mapping one Nikto instance with one Centraleyezer instance.
  • Configuring a different Nikto instance in the plugin will overwrite previously imported data.

Requirements

    • Centraleyezer Prerequisites: Latest version of the Centraleyezer Vulnerability Management Platform is recommended.

  • Permissions and Roles:

    • Centraleyezer: Requires System Admin or Application Security Manager permissions.
