Connector

Fortinet FortiGate

API credential, entered client by client.

Connects a FortiGate appliance to automatically check that its security subscriptions (antivirus, IPS, web filtering) are active and how many firewall rules actually carry an inspection profile. Feeds the ReCyF objectives for malware protection and network segmentation.

Beta

What to create in the tool

The access is created in Fortinet FortiGate, not in Vigicap. Vigicap never asks for an administrator's password: it expects an API credential that you create, that you can see, and that you can revoke without us.

Where to generate it

Sur le FortiGate (System > Administrators > Create New > REST API Admin), créez un administrateur d'API avec le profil d'accès super_admin_readonly (ou un profil personnalisé entièrement en lecture), renseignez les hôtes de confiance — FortiOS refuse 0.0.0.0/0 — puis copiez le jeton affiché une seule fois. Le certificat de l'interface doit être reconnu (certificat de confiance ou reverse proxy).

Minimum role

Administrateur d'API REST avec le profil super_admin_readonly (ou un profil entièrement en lecture), restreint par hôtes de confiance.

Taken from the vendor's own role model, and checked before publication.

What to enter in Vigicap

The exact fields of the connection form, in the order they appear. Values marked “secret” never travel back to the browser: they are encrypted at rest and deleted on disconnection.

The form starts with the instance address, entered separately from the fields below. The public catalogue does not yet publish whether this connector needs one, or what it looks like — so this list is exact about everything else, and silent about that first field.

Per-client routing

The connection is made client by client: one credential per client, entered on that client's record. Nothing is shared between two clients, and disconnecting one leaves the other untouched.

What it does, and what it does not do

ReCyF objectives it pre-fills

A reading feeds 2 objectives of the ANSSI ReCyF framework. It PROPOSES them: a level only counts once a consultant has confirmed it.

#7 Sécurisation de l'architecture des systèmes d'informationSecuring the architecture of the information systems
#9 Protection des systèmes d'information contre les codes malveillantsProtection of the information systems against malicious code

Read-only

The reads are read-only: Vigicap writes nothing into the tool while reading it.

What is read, what is kept, for how long and with which rights: the same register, connector by connector, in the data inventory.

Verification

This connector was written from the vendor's documented API and has not yet been run against a real instance. It is marked “Beta” everywhere it appears.
