NetIQ Extends IT Process Automation Capabilities for Security Operations
July 2008 by Marc Jacob
NetIQ, an Attachmate business, introduced adapters to its flagship security and compliance products, NetIQ® Security Manager™ and NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager™ to enable the modeling, automation, measurement and improvement of repetitive security tasks within the context of leading security standards or ITIL-based processes.
Featuring bi-directional communication and control between NetIQ’s vendor-agnostic enterprise service bus, NetIQ Aegis™, and other IT management tools such as ticketing systems, the NetIQ Aegis Adapters for Security Manager and Secure Configuration Manager enable intelligent automation of security tasks across heterogeneous environments, vastly reducing the time spent on their execution.
For the first time, security events can be tightly integrated into enterprise event and incident management processes, which helps speed mean time to resolution when security is at the root cause. Security teams can define risk and compliance processes and ensure they are executed accurately by either them or non-security personnel while enforcing role-based segregation of duties.
The NetIQ Aegis Adapters for Security Manager and Secure Configuration Manager effectively bridge IT Operations and Security silos to enable:
o Faster security incident response and resolution
o Fully integrated enterprise IT incident management
o Converged and automated assessment and remediation (enforcing auditability with segregation of duties)
o Enterprise policy compliance and business exception management
– Availability & Pricing
NetIQ Security Manager and Secure Configuration Manager adapters for Aegis will be available in July 2008.
