Connecting to an IBM Data Risk Manager asset data source

The IBM Data Risk Manager Connected Assets and Risk connector can be run in the IBM Security QRadar® Suite Software cluster. The connector incrementally synchronizes the contents of the AWS asset databases with the data that is managed by the Connected Assets and Risk service.

1. Log in to IBM Security QRadar Suite Software.
2. From the menu, click Connections > Data sources.
3. On the Assets tab, click Connect an asset.
4. Click DRM, then click Next.
5. Configure the connection to allow IBM Security QRadar Suite Software to connect to the data source.
   1. In the Connector name field, assign a name to uniquely identify the data source connection.
      Tip: Only alphanumeric characters and the following special characters are allowed: - . _
   2. In the Connector description field, write a description to indicate the purpose of the data source connection.
      Tip: Only alphanumeric characters and the following special characters are allowed: - . _
   3. In the Edge gateway (optional) field, specify which IBM Security Edge Gateway to use.

      To use the Edge Gateway to host the containers that are required for communication between the data sources and IBM Security QRadar Suite Software, select an Edge Gateway. The Edge Gateway must be version 1.6 or later. It can take up to 5 minutes to establish the connection to the Edge Gateway.

      Important: If you have a firewall between your IBM Security QRadar Suite Software cluster and the data source target, use the Edge Gateway to host the containers.

      For more information, see Edge Gateway.

   4. In the Frequency field, set how often the connector imports data from the data source, in minutes.
      The value must be an integer.
      For example, a value of 60 causes the connector to run every 60 minutes.
      If the data source doesn't have many assets, or you don't want to import data often, reduce the frequency.
   5. In the Tenant URL field, enter your IBM Data Risk Manager tenant URL.
6. Click Add a Configuration.
7. Configure identity and access.
   1. In the Configuration name field, enter a unique name to describe the access configuration and distinguish it from the other access configurations for this data source connection that you might set up. Only alphanumeric characters and the following special characters are allowed: - . _
