Enterprises have invested in various technologies including configuration management database (CMDB), SIEM, database activity monitoring (DAM), configuration audit, end point protection platforms (McAfee ePO, Symantec Endpoint Protection), network and systems management platforms such as IBM Tivoli, Microsoft SCOM, HP OpenView, CA Unicenter and others. By integrating these existing technology investments with eIQ’s SecureVue, enterprises gain true situational awareness, automate compliance processes, speed up forensics investigative analysis, improve operational efficiencies and increase overall security to better protect their IT assets.

Large enterprises have invested significant budgets and several years of man power in procuring and deploying best of breed point solutions such CMDB, IAM, SIEM, log management, etc., across tens of thousands of nodes within their IT infrastructure. While these products do a fairly good job of providing useful information, they also create information silos and lack of cross- correlation of multiple data types that is essential for situational awareness. By leveraging SDK, SecureVue can aggregate and cross-correlate data from existing 3rd party applications with other critical security and compliance data to increase efficacy of security alerts. Security operations better prioritize their activities in addressing security incidents and policy violations. An enterprise may also have accurate inventory of their IT assets in their CMDB, but it is also necessary to have accurate configuration data on those assets. A CMDB can quickly become out of sync with reality unless it is consistently updated with complete and accurate change information as configurations change over a period of time.

Using SecureVue’s Software Development Kit (SDK), enterprise customers and partners can quickly integrate their existing technologies with SecureVue. SecureVue SDK enables application developers to retrieve and insert information from and into SecureVue quickly and securely. To meet the various needs of customers and partners, SecureVue SDK provides a comprehensive set of tools for application developers. The SDK allows organizations to tailor SecureVue to particular needs, streamline and automate many processes and integrate external applications. Built on a standards-based and extensible platform, the SDK lets organizations leverage development team’s existing skills and quickly build solutions that bring tangible value to customers.
