Security Analytics - RedSeal SRM 3.1


Product/Technology:
RedSeal SRM 3.1

Hardware or Software? Software

Launched: August 2008 (Upgrade)

What it does? RedSeal software assesses and manages the overall security posture delivered by complex IT infrastructures. By analyzing how all firewalls routers and other devices work together to enable access to each part of the network RedSeal enables IT organizations to determine which areas are truly exposed to threats. Using this information RedSeal prioritizes the results of system scanning recommending the remediations that will result in the greatest risk reduction. RedSeal also validates compliance with network zoning policies automating assessments of regulations such as PCI.

What makes it Innovative? Traditional security tools look at a single device or system at a time while RedSeal analyzes how the entire infrastructure works together to deliver security. For example scanners identify which systems have vulnerabilities while RedSeal will pinpoint which of those vulnerabilities have already been addressed by blocking access with firewalls. Can you confidently answer infrastructure-wide questions such as:

  • Have I blocked every attack sequence a hacker could use to get to my SAP system?
  • Am I really in compliance with industry and government regulations?
  • Is my MSSP really delivering what they said they would?
  • Do I actually need to buy additional firewalls or security products?
  • What are the most important vulnerabilities my team needs to focus on?
Unfortunately, most of today's tools do not answer these questions. Many look only at the vulnerabilities of individual hosts or network devices. Others focus on the many processes involved in managing change in the IT infrastructure. All of these tools lack understanding of the consequences of vulnerabilities and changes to the computing infrastructure as a whole. Today, this awareness can only be provided in an ad-hoc fashion by individuals with a deep, intuitive understanding of your network.

Targeted Users: Medium and large enterprise Managed security service providers.

Satisfied Customers: Yes, the vendor claims satisfied customers.
