The Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT) is a set of IT best practices that provides guidance for organizations in establishing comprehensive IT governance and security policies. Numerous companies establish their security policies based on components of this framework. As part of the process of creating a secure environment, they also need a complete view of the network in order to assure that their security policies and network defenses are aligned.

Lumeta’s IPsonar provides the operational data necessary to establish Network Assurance programs that align network defenses with implemented policy, based on a complete set of network facts. With this, IPsonar helps organizations establish a foundation for demonstrable alignment to COBIT in the areas of network connectivity and network defense configuration.

Lumeta’s Network Assurance solutions correspond to COBIT requirements such as:

• Plan and organize (PO4, PO9)
  Understand complete network topology in advance of network change in order to ease planning.
• Acquire and implement (AI1, AI6)
  Adapt your infrastructure by using a network baseline to drive risk out of migration projects and ensure the deployment of a secure network.
• Deliver and support (DS5, DS9)
  Once a change is deployed, enable ongoing risk management by visualizing how changes in the infrastructure may create misalignment between your organization’s policies and defenses.
• Monitor and evaluate (ME1, ME2, ME3)
  Audit your overall security process with a network risk scorecard and take corrective action to continuously improve your organization’s security posture.
