So to anyone that says that Intrushield and Foundstone have integrated through ePO at McAfee, I say show me. I have done this integration and it does not do what is proposed, it merely almagamates reports or alerts, something you do with SIEM usually. Anyway, for the integration of Qualys or Nessus, they already make XML reports, you need to check out the REST API if you want to make set or get calls to the appliance based on other information. It's the same method for integrating wireless 802.1X user auth into the user databases, your just making a different type of call. Aruba has worked very closely with Palo Alto on this, which is the same responsability any of these VA scanning companies need to do to step up their offering with this technology, not the other way around. They do it for SIEM, if this is the way of the future they should do it for this too. Anyway, I'd be happy to start a thread on this for Nessus to start if you want to join me?
