Too much data, not enough time!
Let Integracon show you the solution to your network’s health and activity monitoring. Empower your security and network organizations to identify, manage, and counter security threats. Integracon can assist you in implementing products that work with your existing network and security investments to identify, isolate, and recommend precise removal of offending elements. Integracon can recommend and implement several solutions to help you maintain internal policy compliance as well as regulatory reporting and data analysis.

Security and network administrators face numerous challenges, including:
• Security and network information overload (Events logs, syslog, application logs   (IIS,SQL,Apache,Oracle,etc), Antivirus logs, IPS/IDS logs)
• Poor attack and fault identification, prioritization, and response
• Increases in attack sophistication, velocity, and remediation costs
• Compliance and audit requirement adherence (GLBA, Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI and HIPAA, etc)
• Security staff and budget constraints

Event correlation, analysis, and monitoring addresses these challenges by:
• Integrating network intelligence to centralize correlation of network anomalies and security events
• Visualizing validated incidents and automating investigation
• Mitigating attacks by taking full advantage of your existing network and security infrastructure
• Monitoring systems, network, and security operations to aid in compliance
• Delivering a scalable solution that is easy to deploy and use with the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO)

Event correlation and classification transforms raw network and security data into intelligence that can be used to subvert valid security incidents and maintain compliance. These easy-to-use threat mitigation technologies enable operators to centralize, detect, mitigate, and report on priority threats using the network and security devices already deployed in your infrastructure.

THE DEFENSE-IN-DEPTH DILEMMA
Information security practices have evolved from Internet perimeter protection to an in-depth defense model in which multiple countermeasures are layered throughout the infrastructure to address vulnerabilities and attacks. This is necessary due to increased attack frequency, diverse attack sophistication, and the rapid nature of attack velocity-all blurring the boundaries between the network and perimeter.

Network access points and systems are probed thousands of times each day in an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. Modern blended/hybrid attacks use multiple and deceptive attack methodologies to gain unauthorized system access and control from outside and within organizations. The proliferation of worms, day-zero attacks, viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, and attack tools challenges even the most fortified infrastructures, resulting in smaller reaction time, downtime, and costly remediation. Beyond the number of servers and network devices, each security component offers isolated event log and alert features for anomaly detection, threat reaction, and forensics. Unfortunately, this yields a tremendous amount of noise, alarms, log files, and false positives for operators to discern or effectively use-assuming the time and resources are available to parse through and understand this information. In addition, compliance legislature requires strict data privacy, improved operational security, and maintained audit processes.

ADVANCING SECURITY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Security information and event management products logically seem to alleviate these problems-helping you measure threats so you can manage them. These products enable operators to centrally aggregate security events and logs, analyze this data through limited correlation and query techniques, and generate alarms and reports on isolated events. Unfortunately, many first- and second-generation security information and event management products do not yield sufficient network intelligence and performance attributes to more precisely identify and validate correlated events, better pinpoint attack paths, surgically remove threats, or maintain high event loads. Event correlation and classification complements your network and security infrastructure investment by delivering a security command and control solution that is easy to deploy, easy to use, and cost-effective.
