1.1 What is Aegis?

Aegis is an IT process automation platform that allows you to model, automate, measure, and continuously improve run books and processes. Aegis allows you to:

  • Define automated IT processes, using your documented IT processes and run books as the foundation for automation

  • Automatically execute process steps on behalf of personnel

  • Coordinate work between different IT functions

Integrating with other NetIQ enterprise products, Aegis retrieves normalized information from your operations management systems to provide a cohesive “big picture” view of your IT operation processes.

By aggregating this information into a central console, Aegis lets IT operations personnel more easily accomplish the following objectives:

  • Automatically initiate standard IT processes to address incidents

  • Document all response activities

  • Report on adherence to accepted IT policies

  • Provide a complete audit history of incident management

By allowing users to quickly identify and automatically group and suppress related events, Aegis reduces the number of false positives users must address and manage.
