Security Information and Event Management

Information Security is not just a technology issue; it's a management issue.  Management is all about feedback - closing the gap between promise and performance.  You always find out security performance one way or another.  We know the bad way of finding out - you get hacked. 

 

What's the good way?  IPkey.com Analytics and Reporting.

 

Security devices such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems and VPN concentrators can be configured to generate a prodigious amount of highly detailed data.  The good news is that this data can tell you everything that passes through, is blocked or otherwise re-directed.  The bad news is that these streams generate huge data files very quickly.  Daily log files of 100Mb and even over 1Gb are common. Security administrators have trouble just storing them, never mind reading through them.	Executive Dashboard give you a real-time picture of security performance.
Consider the following admission from the IT Manager of a large food distributor "We have so many security-management consoles, we can't keep up with all the information. We have firewalls that haven't been updated in months, and reams of security logs we haven't sifted through. I really couldn't tell you whether we've been hacked or not."	Despite this statement, the data in security logs represent the only way to understand what a firewall or security appliance is actually doing.  The console may show the policies, but log files show what's really happening.  The challenge facing all Information Security managers is just how do you find out what's really happening when you have gigabytes of log files, an overworked security administrator and a very limited budget.
The answer is to collect and distill the data down to an information-rich presentation that can be reviewed in less than 10 min a day.   View Sample Report  (3Mb PDF) IPkey has partnered with eIQnetworks to enable you to reach this elusive goal.  Our Secure Managed Firewall service uses Firewall Analyzer Enterprise to provide our analysts with near real-time analytics and reporting capabilities. This product provides us with consistent reporting for almost every model of firewall available.  Many medium to large enterprises use several brand of security devices and are unable to consolidate log data into a 'big picture'.  eIQnetworks' product provides a single, consistent view of all firewalls and dramatically reduces equipment and training costs. As an eIQnetworks partner, we offer their product line for sale and provide full support.  However, most of our clients prefer the convenience a 'turn-key' solution that requires no investment or maintenance of additional equipment.  We provide you with the redundant, monitored servers to collect and process your data stream 24x7 and generate your periodic reports.  Some of these reports can take over an hour to generate! We've saved the best for last.  We can now also offer near real-time analytics and reporting through the optional 'Executive Dashboard' pictured above.  This gives you a web interface to your log database to provide easy-to-use Instant Reports.
