Integrating with BMC Helix Intelligent Automation for vulnerability remediation

Use BMC Helix Intelligent Automation, an automation aggregator, to connect with automation tools of your choice and define policies to trigger remediation actions. When an administrator integrates with BMC Helix Intelligent Automation, you can remediate vulnerabilities from BMC Helix Automation Console by using automation platforms other than TrueSight Server Automation, such as Ansible. This integration can resolve issues in cases where TrueSight Server Automation is restricted on cloud devices due to corporate policy.
