With this release, Intellitactics adds more capability for speedy implementation and simplified use so that more companies can enjoy the benefits to be reaped from effective compliance combined with proactive event management.

Highlights of Intellitactics Security Manager (v5.6)

More Reports: NEW graphical reports put usable information for detecting and isolating attacks at the fingertips of operators and analysts. From an anti-virus event, the user clicks to anti-virus activity reports that combine detail on top virus types, actions taken, update errors, and more in less time than it takes to search the logs. This type of automation expedites event management, even when event monitoring isn’t a full-time job. Similarly, NEW investigative reports provide a productivity tool – reporting events by malware, activities by individual accounts, and host activity as source or target. NEW management reports combine operational activity summaries and trends to provide a concise snapshot of information to be used as decision support.

Enhanced Dynamic Lists: This ability to manage lists of malicious users, suspicious websites, or known attackers increases the effectiveness of monitoring, event analysis and correlation for alerting, and reporting.

Simplified Asset Configuration: Security Manager defines assets and asset groups using attributes that describe the relevance of an alert like network of origin, system criticality, business function, contact information, and so on. Defining assets in this way facilitates proactive alert management and accelerates incident response.

Enhanced log management: This capability bridges the gap in value between basic logging and real time event management. Security Manager’s event management and compliance reporting is built on basic high-speed collection of logs (raw events) from any data source and centralized, secure, and compressed storage of all raw events for the purposes of audits, forensic investigation and legal defense. Now Security Manager’s Event View is enhanced with the addition of the raw event message along side the fully parsed, normalized event; and provides a quick link to log searching and viewing.
