How to Enforce Configuration Compliance for Any API-Managed Network - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Network configuration tasks take up a large portion of network teams’ time — networks are more distributed than ever, resulting in a more complex set of different compliance policies. The good news is, modern network solutions such as controllers, orchestrators and cloud-based solutions have adopted APIs, providing the opportunity for network teams to leverage new options to manage configuration and compliance across hybrid infrastructure. To ensure your API-managed network elements are configured securely and optimally through a lifetime of changes, network teams need a modern set of compliance tools that can utilize APIs and operate on the resulting configuration data. The Itential Automation Platform provides robust API compliance capabilities that greatly simplifies the process of building Golden Configuration templates and enforcing configuration compliance for any API-managed network solution in the same way that it does CLI-based devices. The new enhanced features in IAP 23.1 allow you to quickly build rules that operate on keys and values within deeply embedded and complex JSON objects. This helps enforce compliance your entire hybrid infrastructure and leverage automations to report on discrepancies and remediate any changes that may be needed. In this live demo, you will learn about Itential’s latest API compliance enhancements and how to: • Review onboarded APIs and identify API methods to use for compliance. • Build a Golden Configuration template for the API calls. • Configure different rules to evaluate keys and values for a JSON-based configuration. • Use a workflow to schedule a recurring automated compliance check with reporting.
