Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We’re using Cynet as one of our MDR platforms across a number of customer environments and would like to use it as part of our Zero Trust access policies in NetBird.
At the moment there isn’t a native Cynet integration under the MDM & EDR section, so the only option is to build something custom using the APIs. That’s doable, but it’s another integration to write, host and maintain.
Describe the solution you’d like
It would be great to see Cynet added as a supported MDM & EDR integration.
Ideally it would let NetBird query Cynet for the device status so policies could check things like:
- Is the device managed by Cynet?
- Is it healthy?
- Is it currently quarantined or under investigation?
Then we could simply use those attributes in access policies, just like the other supported EDR platforms.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered
The obvious alternative is writing our own integration using the Cynet API, but that’s extra development and ongoing maintenance for something that would be much more useful as a built in feature.
Another option is to ignore endpoint posture altogether and just authenticate the user and device, but that loses one of the big benefits of Zero Trust.
Additional context
Cynet is becoming more common, especially with MSPs and mid sized organisations, so I think there would be genuine demand for this.
The Cynet REST API already exposes the information needed, so hopefully it wouldn’t require any major changes to how the existing MDM & EDR integrations work.
As an MSP we’d definitely make use of this across multiple customer deployments.
