MANAGED SECURITY SERVICES | Device Monitoring and Management

The Enterprise Challenge

Gaining real-time visibility into threats is one of the most difficult challenges confronting security professionals. However, monitoring and management goes beyond simply seeing the threat; it is even more critical to be able to prioritize the impact and the extent of the threat. Given insider threats and compliance requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, and PCI, organizations' monitoring requirements are expanding from a handful of firewalls and intrusion prevention and detection systems to applications, databases, networks and systems across the full enterprise. Monitoring solutions must scale up to support these requirements while being more cost-effective than ever.


Service Description

Iron teams up with each organization to identify which assets to monitor - based on each company's unique business and compliance requirements. Iron will then implement a turnkey monitoring and management solution composed of industry standard management solutions, Security Operations Center staffed 24/7 with experienced security analysts, and our secure web portal. Our monitoring and management provides:

  • Comprehensive data collection by monitoring more types of devices than other monitoring solutions, including firewalls, network and host IDS/IPSs, VPNs, routers, switches, operating systems, databases, and applications.
  • Advanced threat detection using multiple algorithms and non-filtered log analysis over multiple time windows to identify immediate threats and harder-to-detect slow attacks. Additionally, we take normal activities, classify them as normal, and eliminate them from non-normal detection.
  • Real-time response through our Security Operation Centers staffed with security experts ready to respond to alerts around the clock.
  • Trending and analysis to enable organizations to review their current security status, analyze trends, and improve security performance over time. And global trending capabilities ensure customers know in advance what others have experienced that could ultimately impact them.
  • Process-driven, documented response process facilitated by rule-based workflow communications and tracking to provide an auditable incident response process that meets compliance requirements.
  • Ongoing configuration and tuning to ensure that security devices remain optimally configured to protect your environment and free up internal security staff to focus on more strategic projects.

The Iron Advantage
  • Our enterprise security monitoring and information management platform, integrates and correlates information from other devices in the environment, adding context to reduce logging 'noise' to a manageable number of security events worthy of further investigation.
  • Correlates and analyzes logs from a wide variety of applications, databases, systems, and network components as well as traditional security devices, providing a true enterprise monitoring and management solution.

Service Benefits
  • Improved security by being able to detect and respond to security events in real-time.

  • Reduce monitoring and management costs and avoid the distraction of complex software implementations by leveraging Iron's Security Operation Centers, security experts, and mature processes.
  • Fixed monthly cost eliminates 'budget surprise' because you have no hardware purchases, version upgrades, etc.
  • Scalable and extendable as your environment changes.
  • Fast, safe implementation with low impact to your internal resources and no inadvertent outages.
