Active Countermeasure Intelligence Ecosystem

Overview

As an industry, security vendors all face the same challenges when solving customers’ problems.

• We are rich in data, poor in information, and even further away from true security intelligence.
• Security management is not yet integrated into a common world view.
• We must automate security with smart, adaptive, contextually aware security solutions that take proactive action to manage risk.

Integrating the ground breaking Critical Watch ACI technology to your solutions enables next generation security management capabilities. It is uniquely adaptable to best fit your products. Components of Critical Watch ACI can be applied to work with a specific vendor’s devices, with some or all risk inputs, or can be utilized as a total platform.

Critical Watch ACI for Security Countermeasure Vendors:

There are numerous security countermeasure technologies that are in place to protect against threats whenever they occur. Whether IPS, Web Application Firewall or NAC, any protection device works best when it is configured based on a customer’s unique risk and vulnerability data. Critical Watch ACI optimizes countermeasure solutions based on the risk profile of the customer’s environment.

Critical Watch ACI for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Vendors:

SIEM solutions are the established security platform for enterprises and will evolve to become the intelligence platforms of the future. Currently, they drive security visibility in the context of monitoring network events and application and user level activity. Critical Watch ACI can provide an active element to SIEM that doesn’t exist today. It takes the same risk inputs used for event correlation and applies them in a new and powerful way for active mitigation with corresponding countermeasure devices.

Critical Watch ACI for Security Service Providers:

Those that perform managed security services can use Critical Watch ACI to provide extended reporting and analytics to end clients. The can also leverage available Countermeasure Controllers to better optimize managed devices.

Recommendation Analytics:

The Recommendation Analytics as a standalone or integrated solution delivers thought leadership and value to clients.
