# Run the National Vulnerability Database integration

Run the National Vulnerability Database \(NVD\) integration to import data from the National Institute of Standards and Technology \(NIST\) NVD product. Running the NVD integration gives you the foundational Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures \(CVEs\) data referenced by the Microsoft Defender for IoT \(Azure\) vulnerabilities to help you determine the severity and details of vulnerabilities in your environment.

## Before you begin

Before you run the NIST NVD integration on your instance, the installation and configuration steps for the integration must be completed. Completing the installation and configuration ensures that the NVD product properly integrates with the Operational Technology Vulnerability Response application.

To install the NVD plugin, see [Install the Vulnerability Response Integration with the NIST National Vulnerability Database](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/security-management/install-nvd.md).

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Azure D4IoT Vulnerability Integration** > **Admin** > **Guided Setup**.

2.  In the **Configure Integration** section, select **Configure** next to the **Import National Vulnerability Database \(NVD\) CVE Entries** task.

3.  Depending on which is active, select either the NIST NVD integration - API \(CVE only\) record or the NIST National Vulnerability Database Integration – API \(CVE and CPE\) record.

    **Note:** The NIST NVD integration - API \(CVE only\) record is most commonly active by default.

    \[Omitted image "nist-nvd-integration.png"\] Alt text: NIST National Vulnerability Database Integration - API CVE only record.

4.  To edit the record, set the **Application scope** to **Vulnerability Response Integration with NVD** using the globe \(\[Omitted image "icon-scope.png"\] Alt text: Globe icon\) icon.

5.  In the **Import Since** field under the **Integration Details** tab, set the value to a date in the past.

    **Note:** This is required so a full import of the NVD occurs. The recommended date is `1999-01-01 00:00:00`.

6.  Select **Save**.

7.  Select **Execute Now**.
