Building the Application Inventory

With SecureApp, you can build a list of all of your business applications and the connections that they rely on to function. This lets you easily maintain your connectivity requirements.

Applications

An application has properties, including name, owners, editors, and viewers. You configure the connectivity requirements that include all of the connections the sources, protocols and destinations of network traffic. If you have more than one customer, you can enable multi-customer mode to create applications for each customer and have data segregation (segregated) or IP address differentiation (interconnected).

Cloud Applications

You can import applications from cloud platforms and monitor them in SecureApp. Cloud applications are marked in the applications inventory with the icon of the cloud vendor, and cloud servers are marked in the resources with the icon of the cloud vendor.

  • Amazon AWS - Use the Cloud Console to add AWS applications.
  • Cisco ACI - When you add a Cisco ACI Platform to SecureTrack, the application are automatically shown in SecureApp as read-only. Connections are not created for contracts with only a filter from the common tenant, or without a provider, consumer, or filter. SecureApp imports applications from up to 10 tenants and up to 50 application profiles per tenant. The ACI applications are created with the owner selected in SecureApp Settings. The ACI applications are created with these properties imported from Cisco ACI:
