Connect ServiceNow ITSM to Defender for Cloud

Microsoft Defender for Cloud integrates with ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM). This integration lets you connect your Defender for Cloud account to ServiceNow. You can use ServiceNow workflows to manage recommendations and prioritize remediation work. You can also create and view ServiceNow tickets for recommendations directly from Defender for Cloud.

Prerequisites

  • Have an application registry configured in ServiceNow. For setup steps, see How to create a ServiceNow API key and secret.

  • Enable Defender Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) on your Azure subscription. For setup steps, see Enable Defender CSPM.

  • To create the integration, you must have one of these roles: Security Admin, Contributor, or Owner.

  • To create ServiceNow tickets for recommendations on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources, configure the ServiceNow integration at the connector level. An integration that is scoped only to an Azure subscription doesn't apply to non-Azure resources.
