Unified Management
 |
No matter whether you prefer our hardware-based solutions, our virtual offering or enjoy the ability to run on top of your selection of hardware, proper management of your security solution is crucial for staying on top of your security operations. In this industry, it is not that unusual that security management is quite a weak spot. Centralized management systems from many network security vendors are often second-class product portfolio family members with little focus and support. It is more of a rule than an exception that those products are far behind the security gateway devices in terms of management capabilities, thereby effectively rendering them useless. How does Clavister tackle this?

- We embrace and applaud centralized security management. Already our very first security gateway product released back in 1997 had a centralized management console, and we have been improving in this area every day since then.
- Management is a corner-stone in our offering and our solutions. Our premium product for security management, Clavister InControl, is in fullest symbiosis with our Security Gateway products. When other vendors struggle with keeping gateway and management software releases in sync, ours products are manageable instantly and at once. We just built them that way.
- We think outside the traditional boundaries. Security management is not a shady activity carried out by high-profile engineers in black sunglasses. On the contrary, security management should form an integral part of your common business processes. Therefore, we open up our systems for collaboration. An example is the Clavister InControl SDK, which allows customers and partners to create holistic management solutions.
We believe this is a reasonable unified management approach, and we hope you share our view.
