About Securify SecurVantage
Securify's SecurVantage product enables enterprises to easily
and cost-effectively ensure that their complex networks properly
implement and comply with business-driven network security
policies. Using SecurVantage, enterprises can create a formal
set of requirements - a "policy" describing the
"correct" behavior of the network - based on corporate
security policy and business practices. Using these requirements,
SecurVantage continuously evaluates, in real time, the packets
moving across the network, at all levels of the protocol stack,
and makes decisions as to whether or not the traffic is consistent
with the customer-defined policy. This information is then
clearly presented in a Web-based analysis environment in a
format specific to the business.
The SecurVantage solution provides detailed information on
all aspects of network security, including network topology;
applications and services for logical network groups; and
asset vulnerabilities. Additionally, trend reports based upon
policy violations can assess specific areas of network operation.
These reports include violation trends by host group; root
cause analysis of recurring events; total traffic and violations
by type of service; device configuration status; access procedure
compliance; service status by host group; and quality of service
for encryption and password strength.
Securify SecurVantage consists of Securify SecurVantage Studio,
the policy development and analysis environment; Securify
SecurVantage Monitor, the monitoring and evaluation system;
and Securify SecurVantage Enterprise, which aggregates and
analyzes data across an enterprise.
