Set application defaults at an organization level (Northstar)

Use this procedure to choose default settings for applications at an organization level.

Steps

  1. In the left navigation, under Administration, select Applications.

  2. Use the dropdown to choose an Importance level for applications. Your options are Critical, High, Medium, Low, Unimportant. The default selection is Medium.

  3. Under Policy, select the remediation and compliance policies you would like to automatically apply to applications.

    You can still add applications to policies that aren't included in your default settings at a later time.

  4. Use the Application metadata section to configure application metadata that should be provided for each of the applications in your organization.

  5. Under Onboarding restrictions, select any or all of these settings:

    • Do not onboard applications that are missing application metadata

    • Do not onboard applications that are missing session metadata

    • Restrict applications missing required fields which prevents applications from reporting data if required metadata is missing.

    Depending on the settings you select, Contrast fails to add applications that are missing required metadata. These settings help you to enforce the metadata configuration in the agent's configuration file.

  6. Under Behavior, select Automatically apply licenses to new applications if you want licenses to be applied automatically.

    A status bar shows you how many licenses have been used out of the total number available.

  7. Under Data management, set the route expiration policy.

  8. Under Triage management, map ADR rules to Assess vulnerabilities

  9. Under Session metadata, to set the default session metadata filtering to the most recent session, select Filter application details by most recent session.
