InfoCenter on IBM eServer® BladeCenter™

Best-of-breed security solutions have long been the most-effective choices for securing the enterprise. However, that approach has resulted in the deployment of a disparate set of products for firewall, intrusion detection, antivirus, vulnerability analysis and other network-centric security functions. This has led to gaps in protection and a high cost of ownership because of the need for multiple management consoles and a lack of integration.

Customer challenges with dedicated security appliance solutions include updating the software and the cost of maintaining additional boxes on the network. Blade server products address many of the drawbacks of appliances and rack-optimized servers. The increasing number of security appliances, ranging from dedicated firewalls, VPNs, intrusion detection systems (IDS), SSL accelerators, gateway antivirus solutions and load balancers make the blades desirable for mid-market, enterprise and Telco use. Consolidating the solutions to a single network element dramatically reduces the management task (managing one box, as opposed to five); provides load balancing and failover support in a single solution, further reducing the number of solutions to be purchased; and improve performance.

ThreatCenter

Real-Time Threat Management, Correlation and Intrusion Detection ThreatCenter is a security information management (SIM) software application that collects, analyzes, and correlates security event data from across the enterprise. It correlates events from firewalls, IDS, anti-virus and network devices with enterprise vulnerability metrics, asset values and business services. It automatically consolidates, manages and escalates threats in real-time, easily scaling up to worldwide log event correlation implementations. ThreatCenter delivers centralized management of risks, vulnerabilities, real-time events and post-attack forensics.

Unlike security management toolkits that can be expensive and time-consuming to deploy and maintain, ThreatCenter deploys in days, not months. With ThreatCenter, your security operations team can respond more quickly, more effectively, freeing up staff time for proactive mitigation and vulnerability management activities.

LogCenter

Real-Time Security Compliance, Analysis and Archiving
Current IT security compliance solutions are limited as they approach the needs of Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, FISMA, Basel 2 and Visa CISP reporting. Batch-oriented, clumsy and slow, with no integration with real-time security operations and current threats, they are frustrating to use, limited in their usefulness and invariably reactive - sometimes only making reports available hours, days or weeks after a security compliance violation occur.

LogCenter from OpenService breaks the mold for security compliance reporting, analysis and log archiving. Coupling InfoCenter's integrated, east to deploy, high performance security event management architecture with a new compliance-oriented, real-time reporting engine, LogCenter delivers compliance reports on demand, as the data is collected from the security sensors. For the first time, CSOs, compliance officers, auditors and forensic analysts are able to identify, examine and manage security compliance issues on an intra-period basis, enabling much more efficient, more effective and more timely responses to potential compliance or audit issues.

NerveCenter

Enterprise Network Event Correlation, Root Cause Analysis and Fault Management
NerveCenter enables managers to directly address and rectify problems plaguing today's distributed networks: the inability to consolidate network and security events; systems overwhelmed by superfluous data or event storms; lack of automation causing an inconsistent reaction to critical events (human error) as well as excessive; difficulty satisfactorily demonstrating compliance with SLAs and other requirements; and overall lack of operational accountability because of incomplete information.

NerveCenter increases your system's availability by providing proactive, scalable network monitoring, automated actions to fix problems, and real-time correlation to provide smart root cause analysis and fault storm management. In use with hundreds of global enterprises, NerveCenter's smart correlation capabilities and unique approach make it the ideal companion product to simplify growing MicroMuse NetCool, HP OopenView, IBM Tivoli or CA UniCenter implementations.
