The rise of the Internet has brought with it both unprecedented promise and unprecedented peril. Despite substantial investment in security products, loss from security threats and vulnerabilities continues to climb. To fully benefit from the promise of the Internet and other technology advancements, enterprises are facing a strategic dilemma in a business environment that requires being both more open and more secure, while dealing with increasing cost, compliance, and complexity issues.

What Are Intelligence and Control Services?

Many of the world's leading Enterprises are realizing that effective security must not only react to attacks, but must also be able to anticipate them, to recognize patterns and trends, and to correct weaknesses immediately without a compromise to operations. While more advanced security devices will all continue to play critical roles, their full potential will be limited without a foundation of coherent policies developed by experienced people who understand the nuanced choreography of security technologies, intelligence, and control.

Intelligence and Control Services deliver intelligence that allows the enterprise to regain control of its environment and take the offensive. They employ the following principles:

• Device Independent Integration: combine real-time information (the intelligence) and determinative tools (the control) to provide integrated view and control over complex, heterogeneous environments
• Pervasive Security: provide integrated intelligence about, and control of, the full range of security issues at the network, application, and transaction layers
• Collective Intelligence: correlate and develop intelligence from data gathered between enterprises and across the Internet
• Conclusive Actions: analyze and report on public and proprietary security information that helps the enterprise weigh risk and prioritize actions

Why Are Intelligence and Control Services Important?

With intelligence and control, security can become a key asset and a competitive advantage that helps the progressive Enterprise achieve its business priorities:

• Realize the full value of existing investment, provide measurements and benchmarks for effectiveness, and establish service levels that are attuned to business needs.
• Create order from chaos, and let the IT staff intelligently assess, monitor, manage and respond to threats and changing needs.
• Provide visibility beyond the corporate walls and act as an early warning system for business contingency planning.
• Watch the flow of events and data across network, application, and transaction layers to enable business-relevant risk assessment.
