# Install Vulnerability Response third-party applications using Setup Assistant

Install the third-party integration applications you have entitlement for in Vulnerability Response using the Setup Assistant.

## Before you begin

Setup Assistant supports the installation of most third-party integration applications with Vulnerability Response, but you continue with the configuration for some applications you install from configuration modules in your instance. See [Vulnerability Response integrations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/vuln_integrations.md) for a list of applications that are supported by Vulnerability Response.

**Note:** This process applies only to applications that are downloaded to production instances. If you're downloading applications to non-production or development instances, it's not necessary to get entitlements. Proceed to [Activate a ServiceNow Store application](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/activate-entitled-store-app.md).

-   After it is installed, the Vulnerability Solution Management feature of Vulnerability Response provides you access to the Microsoft Security Response Center Solution Integration and the Red Hat Solution Integration in Setup Assistant.
-   Vulnerability Solution Management is available by separate subscription. See [Vulnerability Solution Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/vuln-solution-mgmt.md) for more information on how Vulnerability Response incorporates solutions.

Before you can install and activate third-party applications from Setup Assistant, perform the following tasks to ensure a smooth installation:

For more information about installing and activating the Vulnerability Response application, see, [Install and configure Vulnerability Response](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/install-and-configure-vr.md).

If not already installed and activated, you must activate and import vulnerability data with the NVD Integration and CWE scheduled job prior to running a third-party scanner application to import data.

</td><td>

Run the NVD and CWE integrations as part of your initial setup of Vulnerability Response and prior to importing vulnerability data into your instance with a third-party scanner product. See [National Vulnerability Database \(NVD\) integration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/nvd-vuln-integration.md) for more information.

Verify you have completed any setup tasks required for the third-party integrations for Vulnerability Response.

Review any required setup tasks for each integration that you want to install at [Vulnerability Response integrations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/vuln_integrations.md).

    After installation and activation, you can configure, schedule, and launch the following applications and installed solutions directly from the Integration Configuration section of Setup Assistant:

    -   The Qualys Vulnerability Integration
    -   The Vulnerability Response Integration with Tenable.
    -   The Microsoft Security Response Center Solution Integration
    -   The Red Hat Solution Integration
    -   Microsoft Security Response Center Solution Integration
    -   The Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management Integration
    For other applications not listed above, navigate directly to the configuration module of the application to continue with the configuration and to enter any required third-party credentials. For example, the following image shows the location of the Configuration and module for the Rapid7 application.

    For more information about configuring specific applications, see the installation and configuration product documentation by product name provided for each application.

## What to do next

Continue with the configuration of your application in Setup Assistant if your application is supported.
