Enabling Efficient Enterprise Security

“Enterprise security.” While we hear this term frequently, it’s crucial to take a step back and look at the overarching picture of your security management systems. Protecting an entire enterprise composed of critical data can be a daunting task — but with the right tools, it can actually be an efficient program.

Distributed security creates mess for security administrators

One of the main issues security administrators face is that of data distributed across locations. This complicates security management as cyberattacks happen in stages, across multiple data platforms including email, web, and even social media. The cyberattack lifecycle is a sequence of events that the attacker goes through in order to breach an enterprise network. Often, attackers work across these various platforms, targeting on the individual level as their door into your data. Administrators face risks if security is distributed and one location has less effective security, as an attack in that location could affect the entire network.

Centralizing the management of multiple products helps share threat intelligence information across security systems in pursuit of a robust and adaptable defense strategy.

Central management equals enterprise security

FireEye was founded in 2006 to counter cyberattacks and become a robust security defense program. FireEye shares information about attacks not only across your enterprise, but among all their customers, creating a network of threat intelligence. This shared data enables customer systems to learn about new attacks, quickly mitigate them as they occur, and even give insight to predict where an attacker may go with the next attempt.

Centralizing management of security devices is about more than saving money; it’s even about more than organizational efficiency. The main benefit is that anytime an attack happens anywhere in your network, the system shares information and can stop it before it gets deep into your data.

Specifically, FireEye Central Management offers integrated controls for multiple platforms, enables threat prevention by correlating multiple vectors, provides a platform that can be deployed in under an hour, provides an easy-to-read security dashboard, speeds reports and audits through a security storehouse, and streamlines the management of multiple FireEye platforms — even further reducing the time spent in configuration, threat updates, and software upgrades.
