CyberGuard Corporation has unveiled a new enterprise-class
security management solution - Global Command Center. The company
debuted the new product simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic
at major industry conferences - Networld+Interop 2003, a large networking
conference in Las Vegas that attracts attendees from around the
world, and Infosecurity 2003 in London, the largest information
security conference in Europe.
Utilising Microsoft's latest point-and-click
GUI (graphical user interface) technology and advanced object-based
management concepts, the product will enable large enterprises to
implement and manage security policies easily and consistently across
complex, geographically dispersed networks of firewalls and virtual
private networks (VPNs). Object-based management allows administrators
to define an object, such as a firewall, group of firewalls, network
or interfaces, once and then reuse those objects wherever they are
needed. When security policies change, an administrator can modify
the objects and propagate the changes instantly throughout the enterprise.
The company describes Global Command Center
as a next generation central management solution that is the foundation
for a suite of products which will allow network administrators
to:
* Define and distribute firewall rules to one firewall or hundreds
simultaneously;
* Share configuration data between firewalls;
* Support entities with multiple policies;
* Configure firewall and VPN connectivity, including both VPN star
and mesh topology;
* Monitor and control firewall activity;
* Simplify routine administrative tasks;
* Manage ongoing changes to security policies;
* Manage other network devices (such as routers).
