Secure Configuration Manager
Managing Risk with Security Knowledge and Remediation
Your business cannot completely eliminate risk from its environment, but you can intelligently and cost-effectively manage that risk. NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager solutions provide you with a true risk score for each of your IT assets, enabling you to determine what to protect and how much protection is needed. These solutions enable you to turn vulnerability management from a time-consuming project to a routine business process that leverages your existing staff and infrastructure.
NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager solutions also enable you to achieve balance and efficiency in risk management, by allowing you to decide how to manage your systems. These products offer fully customizable system groupings and profiles that enable assessment, auditing and patching of systems in the way that makes the most sense for the business needs of your organization.
Some key benefits of NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager products are:
- Continuously audit for policy exceptions, vulnerabilities and exposures using security configuration baselines based on policies, standards or best practices.
- Eliminate uncoordinated manual processes with centralized management and control.
- Provide metrics for security and compliance using scored assessments at every level of your business.
- Enhance the security of specific platforms and applications beyond their native capabilities, such as locking down network services on UNIX and iSeries and shielding web servers such as Microsoft IIS.
- Deliver the broadest security solution available, enabling you to secure Windows, UNIX, Linux and iSeries platforms - from operating systems to the web servers and databases that run on them.
NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager products enable you to:
- Ensure continuous policy and regulatory compliance so you can routinely audit systems to make sure they are configured according to company policy and stay that way. You can then evaluate compliance by business unit, geography, technology or other factors that are important to the organization.
- Efficiently perform vulnerability scans so you can scan all of your systems for a new vulnerability, then incorporate the check(s) in to regularly-scheduled assessments to ensure they stay secure.
- Reduce risks with remediation management so once vulnerabilities have been found or critical systems have failed an audit, you can address these issues quickly and easily.
