Unified Security Monitoring
27 January, 2009
Modern enterprise networks face a plethora of technical, political and business hurdles that make accurate security and compliance monitoring difficult and costly. Tenable has pioneered a unique "Unified Security Monitoring" approach that is revolutionizing the way our customers are monitoring (i.e., gathering, evaluating, communicating and reporting) security and compliance information. This paper will define "Unified Security Monitoring" and walk the reader through what is unique and how Tenable's "unified" approach overcomes challenges facing enterprise IT and security groups around the globe.
Tenable defines Unified Security Monitoring (USM) as a "unification of real-time vulnerability monitoring (24x7 discovery through remediation), critical log/event monitoring and custom compliance monitoring capabilities in a single, role-based interface for IT and Security users to evaluate, communicate and report the results for effective decision making.”
