Security Engineer's Dream Product a Reality Now With Full Visibility of Your IT Infrastructure

Tim Peterson (not his real name)

, an IT Security Engineer with one of the largest oil companies in the Middle East, is very frustrated these days. His chief concern is the complexity in manual collection and correlation of security data for incident identification and remediation. He spends hours querying and writing scripts to collect and compile data after a security incident. For further forensics and root cause analysis of the security incident his team takes days. Many of the team members are already multi-tasking because of reduced workforce. Tim has secured his network with security devices like routers, web content filters, firewalls, IPS but still lacks full visibility in certain areas of security. His company is using multiple tools for collecting and managing information from these devices resulting in heterogeneous set of data for the Network Operations Center (NOC), Security Operations center (SOC) and audit team. There is lot of data redundancy also. Unfortunately these tools don't talk to each other nor share the data. They do not have collaboration and correlation capability. Recently Tim planned to add a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) or SIM solution for log management but it would have made things more complex. SOC would be flooded with too much of log data. SOC targeted better incident identification and visibility by adding SIEM in their kit but didn't meet his requirement completely. He was worried of 'false positives' because just monitoring log data cannot deliver situational awareness related to critical security incidents. SIEM tools are blind to configuration changes of your devices and, what about the asset data, performance data and network behavioral anomaly? They are all important. Tim gets log alerts from the SIEM but how can he confirm a security breach with just log data; he needs more data. He need to correlate the log event alert with configuration data and see if any configuration changes where made, who made that changes, what changes where made. Did this effect the performance? Correlating these with asset policy violation, availability information and anomalous network behavior will make more sense of the threat pattern, in fact that's actionable intelligence. So what is the use of log data when they can't make sense? When they don't give situational awareness? End of the day Tim would get reports from the SIEM which are useful from compliance point of view. But what about security? Tim still would be giving a report of 'what happened' to his management, he don't even have full visibility on the extend of damage caused by the security incident. Tim need a solution which helps him to tell the management' what is happening', he wants to automate incident identification and need better visibility in all areas of his network security. He want to react faster and proactively respond to emerging security incidents before damage is caused. SecureVue from eIQnetworks delivered Tim's requirement. SecureVue is an Enterprise Security Management (ESM) solution for security, risk and audit automation. Collaboration and correlation is the central theme of SecureVue. SecureVue collects log, vulnerability, configuration, asset, performance and flow data from all devices, hosts, applications and databases across the enterprise in a single integrated platform enabling Tim to automate incident identification to drive efficiency and reduce management complexity. Now Tim can react faster and respond to emerging threats like policy violation, non standard processes, installation of rouge application, potential financial fraud, identity or data theft, etc. Tim is ready for any security threats as he knows his network is very secure now with the end-to-end root cause analysis, historical trends & pattern analysis, faster forensic analysis, SecureVue robust correlation engine and a single console view for security & compliance. SecureVue provide visibility across networks, servers and application layers to enable Tim's organizations to gain a comprehensive understanding of the infrastructure's overall security posture. SecureVue even made Tim's job secure! Article Source for Security Engineer's Dream Product a Reality Now With Full Visibility of Your IT Infrastructure: http://EzineArticles.com/2218689
