Security
- Is it possible
to view the state of my enterprise
against my IT security requirements
at any time with a single tool?
- If I could get
a comprehensive, granular view of
my network, how can I collectively
manage my systems to minimize security
risk?
- How can
I proactively control what files
are allowed to execute on any computer
in my network?
- How can I demonstrate
an in-depth security program to
management, clients and auditors
before, during and after something
has gone wrong?
Security Solutions:
Displaying a Comprehensive Security
Program
To develop an effective
security program, an enterprise must
consider the broad control parameters
for any sizable network of systems.
Every system has literally thousands
of objects, and each object has multiple
attributes to protect or configure.
Many of the objects are modified through
normal use; some are even “self-modified”
by the operating system itself over
time. There are multiple avenues of
intrusion through this changing morass
of objects, seemingly limited only
by the creativity and dedication of
the intruder. As new weaknesses in
the systems are identified, new objectives
must be incorporated into a security
program and the program must be accurately
implemented across multiple systems.
The SBM capabilities
of StatePointPlus can model a security
plan and report any deviations to
administrative personnel. Immediate
response, even automated response,
can be made remotely to any deviation
through the StatePointPlus Strategy
Console. All detected deviations and
corrective actions are logged providing
a complete system change history to
assist in the analysis of any security
incident.
Cyber security policies
can be quickly implemented through
StatePointPlus. Once implemented,
the administration of a security program
can be tracked and managed to continually
improve protection, shore up weaknesses
and globally update IT security policy
system changes.
Providing 24/7 alerts
of key events on enterprise systems
is a pivotal security program element.
Early notice of irregularities that
cross a defined threshold of attention
can help avert subsequent system and
production impact. StatePointPlus
can provide a real-time status of
the actual security configuration
for every system with special notification
actions programmed into the control
strategy.
Significant trends
in configuration management as well
as system integrity metrics can be
viewed directly by management. There
is obvious value in being able to
dialogue about the specific effectiveness
and the extent of implementation of
security measures via the completeness
of this security program status report.
Perhaps even more valuable, the manager
receiving a StatePointPlus-based report
is better able to give an effective,
understandable report to the management
level above. IT management is also
better able to defend further investments
in security when there are clear security
implementation and control metrics
that can demonstrate the real-world
value of past investments.
StatePointPlus
provides a clear vehicle for implementing
and reporting against a comprehensive
security program. This can bring the
organization on board more quickly
with proposed improvements. Because
StatePointPlus reveals the details
of how completely the security program
is implemented throughout all systems
there is always a good, visible track
record of past implementation, and
a known starting point for the next
improvement.
