AppManager Connector for NetIQ Security Manager
Security is a daily concern for IT departments because of the potential impact of security-related events on service levels. IT organizations have an increasing need to practice systems and security management as a strategic discipline.
The Business Problem
There is an ever increasing number of security events that can impact IT service levels. One example is a denial of service attack—a security event that will impact the response time of web applications. IT staff need to monitor both systems and security events from a single console to more rapidly detect and correct such problems.
The NetIQ Solution
The AppManager Connector for NetIQ Security Manager (AppManager-Security Manager Connector) enables integrated systems and security management practices. The connector delivers cost savings and enhances personnel efficiency by enabling IT staff to:
- Receive alerts for security-related events through the AppManager Operator Console
- Access the Security Manager Web Console to gather additional data
- Implement end-to-end service level management controls that can detect and respond to system- and security-related events and alerts
- AppManager-Security Manager Connector
Key Features and Benefits
- Reduces costs by monitoring security and systems events from a single infrastructure, consolidating operations.
- Streamlines IT operations and eliminates the need for separate systems and security monitoring teams because a central IT staff can monitor both types of events.
- Improves IT service levels by reducing the time to detect, diagnose and correct security-related issues affecting system performance, such as denial of service attacks.
