Network Assurance quantifies risk from a network perspective, based on a comprehensive set of network facts. A complement to system and data-level security solutions, Network Assurance enhances the risk management lifecycle by measuring the impact of network change on security, availability, and compliance.
Rapid network change can cause organizational security policy and network defense configuration to become misaligned. By introducing a Network Assurance program, you can address these dangerous gaps in the risk management processes. Using Network Assurance, you can also prioritize remediation efforts based on a complete view of connectivity and risk. This is a critical requirement for validating policies and controls, as organizations weave security into the fabric of the infrastructure.
Lumeta’s flagship product, IPsonar, provides the global network visibility necessary for Network Assurance. Using our multi-protocol discovery technology, you can create a comprehensive set of network facts and visualize all connectivity on the network in order to assure that defenses are aligned with policy. This comprehensive view enables you to optimize vulnerability management while enhancing network monitoring and change management processes. We also make network assurance data highly actionable through our network risk scorecard and visual analytics. Our data is extensible to other tools and platforms to automate risk management processes.
Network Assurance and the IT Lifecycle
Risk management, as it applies to network and security management, involves a number of processes – and at the core of all of these processes is Network Assurance. Integrating Network Assurance into these processes mitigates risk and provides significant business value:
