Problem

Carbon Black Cloud REST API offers great possibilities. It offers a lot of flexibility, but it is not easy to install python, CBAPI, or git, especially on Windows. And because CBAPI only uses console mode, it is difficult to compare policies or move them between multiple Carbon Black Cloud instances. Updating and managing multiple API keys can also be difficult.

Solution

• Extends CBAPI
• Uses the Endpoint Standard REST API
• Qt is a cross-platform software development tool
• Available for Windows, Mac and Linux
• Can be used with Endpoint Standard (Enterprise EDR coming soon!)

What can it do?

• Lists policies with indicators that tell you things like number of rules, UI ON/OFF, GoLive ON/OFF
• Let’s you compare policies side-by-side, even in different customer instances — you can select two policies, see exactly where there are differences and what they are
• Copy policies between instances — if you have a policy applied to one customer and you want to apply that same policy to another
• Policies that are applied can then be viewed in the product UI under Enforce > Policies
