Stay ahead of Security Events with Workbrew’s Automation Tools

Data Export Simplifies Auditing and Integrations

Managing software across multiple devices generates vast amounts of data. Workbrew simplifies data management by providing an easy-to-use export function wherever tabular data is presented.

For example, in the Packages View, you can access a comprehensive list of every installed package across all devices, complete with metadata, including:

Impacted devices
License details
Installed versions
Latest versions
Known vulnerabilities

Let me walk you through the process in the Workbrew Console:

To meet auditing requirements or integrate with third-party tools, users can export this data in JSON or CSV formats with a simple click. Whether you’re performing custom analysis or integrating with another system, Workbrew gives you the flexibility to work with your data in a way that best suits your needs.

Monitor Your Fleet in Real-Time with Notifications & Webhooks

Proactive monitoring is key to maintaining a secure environment. Workbrew offers a variety of notification options to keep you informed about critical events, such as newly detected vulnerabilities, command executions, and failures.

Slack and Email Alerts

Slack Notifications: Connect Workbrew to a Slack channel, and our bot will instantly notify you when significant events occur. Alerts include actionable links, enabling teams to respond quickly.
Email Notifications: Configure Workbrew to send email alerts for teams that rely on email-based workflows or integrate with tools that support email ingestion.

Webhooks for Automation

For advanced automation, Workbrew supports webhooks, allowing you to trigger actions based on system events. Let me show you how:

The webhook makes an HTTP request to send event data from Workbrew to an external system, enabling dynamic responses such as:

Quarantining a vulnerable device automatically
Updating security dashboards
Initiating patch management workflows

For example, a customer with a high-security environment uses webhooks to quarantine devices upon detecting high-severity vulnerabilities. When an event is triggered, their system:

Receives webhook data from Workbrew.
Fetches additional details via the API.
Automates actions like blocking VPN access or isolating the device.

With webhooks, Workbrew enables organizations to react in real-time, reducing manual intervention and enhancing security.

Introducing the Workbrew API: Full Automation and Custom Integrations

For teams that require deep integration and control, the Workbrew API provides an extensive set of capabilities. Every action available in the Workbrew console can also be performed via the API, allowing for programmatic control over fleet management and security operations. Let me walk you through the documentation within the console:

With the Workbrew API, you can:

Export Data Programmatically: Automate data extraction to JSON or CSV for seamless integration into SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems like Splunk.
Automate Security Responses: Use API calls to monitor and mitigate vulnerabilities in real time.
Custom Integrations: Connect Workbrew with existing IT tools to streamline workflows.

Workbrew’s API-first approach ensures that teams can scale automation, integrate with other platforms, and build custom workflows tailored to their needs.

Role-Based Access Control: Secure and Manage Permissions

Ensuring the right level of access for different users is essential for security and operational efficiency. Workbrew now includes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), allowing administrators to assign specific permissions based on job roles:

Read-Only Access: Ideal for teams that need to view reports and data without making changes.
Write Access: Suitable for IT and security teams responsible for managing fleet operations.
Admin Access: Grants full control, including user management and system-wide configurations.

By implementing RBAC, Workbrew enhances security and ensures that only authorized users can modify critical settings, reducing the risk of misconfigurations.

From data exports for auditing, to real-time alerts and webhooks for automation, and a powerful API for seamless integrations, Workbrew ensures you stay ahead of potential security threats while maintaining operational efficiency.
