Pentera
Integrate Pentera security test results and vulnerabilities
The Pentera connector allows you to integrate your automated security test results and exploitable vulnerabilities into OverView.
Overview
The Pentera connector enables you to collect the following information:
- Security test results
- Exploitable vulnerabilities
- Remediation recommendations
Prerequisites
- Access to a Pentera instance
- User account with API permissions
- Pentera server URL accessible
Information to provide in OverView
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Server URL | URL of your Pentera server (e.g., https://pentera.example.com) |
| Client ID | Client ID for API authentication |
| Ticket Granting Ticket | Ticket Granting Token for authentication |
Parameters
These parameters are optional. Leave them at their default value unless you have a specific reason to change them.
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Data Retrieval Days | Number of days of data to retrieve (default: 5 years) | 1825 |
Procedure
Create an API Client in Pentera
- Log in to your Pentera instance.
- Navigate to Administration > Integrations > API Clients.
- Click Create New Client.
- Name the client (e.g., "OverView Connector").
- Click Issue TGT to generate a Ticket Granting Token.
- Note the Client ID and TGT Token (the token is displayed only once).
Configure the Connector in OverView
- In OverView, go to Data Sources Settings > Sources.
- Select Pentera and click Configure.
- Fill in the required fields:
- Server URL (e.g., https://pentera.example.com)
- API Port (typically 443)
- Client ID
- TGT Token
- Click Save Configuration.
Security Best Practices
- Use a dedicated API client for the OverView integration
- Store the TGT token securely — it is shown only once during creation
- Rotate the TGT token periodically
Alternative: file import through DropPoint
The API access described above is the recommended method for this connector. Where it is not available (a segregated network, a version or licence without API, an export you already produce), OverView accepts file exports, to be uploaded to the bucket dedicated to Pentera.
Bucket : s3://pentera/
Example : s3://pentera/export.csv
The procedure is described in the OverView DropPoint guide: generating credentials, configuring the client, then sending files from the OverView web interface, the AWS CLI or an SDK. Its examples come pre-filled with this bucket when you follow this link.
