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.
