Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The proliferation of security tools and the increasing pace with which vulnerabilities have been appearing has put pressure on firms to manage security more proactively. However, most organizations still have little visibility into their real security posture. While they need to be able to evaluate the impact of security breaches, they also must take the appropriate actions in times of crisis. Firms need tools to assess and manage security solutions and configurations, automate enforcement, and respond rapidly to security events. Systems management tools and products designed specifically to monitor security — including analyzing security events — in the enterprise will help fill these gaps. They will combine security information management and network vulnerability assessment into a framework for monitoring and enforcing configuration compliance. In essence, this will enable enterprises to take a more proactive approach to managing security.
