goal
Does your solution have an Application Programming Interface (API)?

goal
Does Vulnerability Manager have APIs for third-party integration?

fact
NetIQ Vulnerability Manager 5.5

fact
NetIQ Vulnerability Manager 5.0

fix

Vulnerability Manager does not currently have a formal set of APIs.

However, we do have a commercial connector into NetIQ Security Manager (security event and log management) so policy violations and vulnerabilities can be correlated into real-time events.  This connector has been used by NetIQ Professional Services and NetIQ Service Providers to perform custom integration into reporting systems and help desk systems.  Additionally, Vulnerability Manager contains a powerful export feature for reports that enables report distribution through email or a security portal. In the future, NetIQ plans to provide off-the-shelf integration points (APIs) to enable more third party integration.
