NowSecure Auto

NowSecure Auto is an application security tool that assesses the security of your mobile applications. You can bring application, assessment, and security data from NowSecure Auto into Brinqa to provide a clearer view of your mobile device security landscape, thus strengthening your cybersecurity posture.

This document details the information you must provide for the connector to authenticate with NowSecure Auto and how to obtain that information from NowSecure. See create a data integration for step-by-step instructions on setting up the integration.

Required connection settings

When setting up a data integration, select NowSecure Auto from the Connector drop-down. If you cannot find the connector in the drop-down, make sure that you have installed it first. You must provide the following information to authenticate NowSecure Auto with Brinqa:

API URL: The NowSecure Auto API URL. The default URL is https://lab-api.nowsecure.com.
Access Token: The access token associated with the NowSecure Auto account, which must have permissions to log in to the API server and return data.

Generate a NowSecure Auto access token

For the NowSecure Auto connector to use the NowSecure API, you must provide an access token. To do so, follow these steps:

Log in to your organization's NowSecure portal as an administrator.
Click the profile icon and select Tokens from the drop-down.
Enter a name for the token and click Generate Token.

The new access token displays. You cannot view this token again. Click Copy Token or copy the token manually and save it to a secure location.

note

If you do not have the permissions to create an access token, contact your NowSecure Auto administrator. For additional information, see NowSecure documentation.

Types of data to retrieve

The NowSecure Auto connector can retrieve the following types of data from the NowSecure API:

Table 1: Data retrieved from NowSecure Auto

Connector Object	Required	Maps to Data Model
Application	Yes	Application
Assessment	Yes	Assessment
Dynamic Code Finding	Yes	Dynamic Code Finding
Dynamic Code Finding Definition	Yes	Dynamic Code Finding Definition
Static Code Finding	Yes	Static Code Finding
Static Code Finding Definition	Yes	Static Code Finding Definition

info

The NowSecure auto connector does not currently support operation options for the types of data it retrieves.

For detailed steps on how to view the data retrieved from NowSecure Auto in the Brinqa Platform, see How to view your data.

info

Local variable indicates that the field is processed within a specific context, such as a particular workflow or calculation. Unlike other attributes, local variables aren't mapped to the unified data models (UDM). They only exist on the source data model.

Use CVSS calculator indicates that the CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) vectors and scores aren't directly mapped to a specific attribute on the UDM. Instead, a specialized library calculates the CVSS scores from the provided CVSS vector strings.

APIs

The NowSecure Auto connector uses both NowSecure Auto REST API endpoints and the NowSecure Auto GraphQL API, providing a flexible approach to retrieve your NowSecure Auto data.

NowSecure Auto REST API

The NowSecure Auto connector uses the NowSecure Auto REST API. Specifically, it uses the following endpoints:

Table 6: NowSecure Auto REST API Endpoints

Connector Object	API Endpoint
Dynamic Code Finding	`GET https://lab-api.nowsecure.com/app/{platform}/{package}/assessment/{task}/results`
Dynamic Code Finding Definition	`GET https://lab-api.nowsecure.com/app/{platform}/{package}/assessment/{task}/results`
Static Code Finding	`GET https://lab-api.nowsecure.com/app/{platform}/{package}/assessment/{task}/results`
Static Code Finding Definition	`GET https://lab-api.nowsecure.com/app/{platform}/{package}/assessment/{task}/results`
Vulnerability Audit Record	`GET https://lab-api.nowsecure.com/resource/app/:app_ref/vulnerability/`

NowSecure Auto GraphQL API

The NowSecure connector also uses the NowSecure GraphQL API v1. Specifically, it uses the /graphql endpoint and the following queries:
