XMP ModuleSet for Anti-Virus Applications
For companies implementing Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) as their core system for monitoring Windows events and system performance and automating response actions, NetIQ provides an integrated security management solution.
The Business Problem
Viruses can make your business grind to a halt. They're a constant concern because of the wasted time and resources left in their wake. So applications to stay on top of the latest attacks are a necessity. If those tools stop working, your IT systems can crash, e-mail can stop and productivity can drop severely. You've got to understand the data created by those assessment systems throughout your enterprise. At the same time, you've got to efficiently pinpoint the security issues the data raises.
The NetIQ Solution
XMP ModuleSet for Anti-Virus Applications is part of NetIQ's XMP Base Pack for MOM, which extends the MOM architecture and functionality, allowing you to react to security events in real-time to protect critical systems and data.
This ModuleSet provides Windows-based management for popular third-party anti-virus applications from Network Associates/McAfee, Symantec/Norton and Trend Micro. You can extend native Windows capabilities with NetIQ's extensive library of predefined rules for managing security events from specific anti-virus applications.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides immediate notification of virus attacks by generating alerts automatically so key personnel know when an anti-virus product detects a virus or worm anywhere in your enterprise.
- Keeps IT personnel apprised of anti-virus application status status across your enterprise.
- Controls the status and configuration of your anti-virus application with predefined expert knowledge and rules for configuration management.
- Responds automatically to virus attacks to protect your system from malicious attacks with rules that allow you to quickly and easily build custom responses. Responses can be as simple as sending a notification to appropriate recipients, or executing programs or scripts to counter attacks.
