Symantec Security Information Manager 4.5 has been released and is aimed at automating the incident management lifecycle.
It assists customers in mitigating IT risk by reporting on the effectiveness of IT security controls and enabling IT administrators to quickly respond to security threats and incidents in network environments.
"Symantec Security Information Manager gives customers a comprehensive view of security across the entire network environment, including third-party security solutions running on multiple platforms," says Patrick Evans, regional director of Symantec Africa.
"By centralising and correlating data from every node in the enterprise, customers are able to detect and respond to problems more easily and quickly."
It provides long-term retention of logs for forensic and compliance mandates to lower total cost of ownership, and also provides an infrastructure monitoring user interface and user management through active directory integration and roles management.
Inclusive view
"Only Symantec can provide an inclusive view of threats in an enterprise environment by correlating host and network activity with a unique perspective of the global threat landscape through integration with Symantec`s Global Intelligence Network," says Evans.
"Customers are able to maintain a low-risk profile with a closed-loop problem management system, workflow integration, and integrated security content from Symantec`s global expertise in security response."
Through automation of the incident management lifecycle, customers are able to efficiently address both security and compliance mandates, he notes. The software allows customers to identify, prioritise, respond and review incidents.
