KEEP your best-of-breed point solutions.
CONSOLIDATE security risk management
REALIZE the benefits of uniform policy

Assurity SRM™

Network Access Control (NAC) solutions are evolving from disconnected islands of policy into comprehensive risk management solutions that bridge disparate security functions. As such, there is a growing trend among vendors toward delivering a one-stop-shopping approach to risk management. However, in order to achieve the uniform policy control promised by these all-in-one solutions, administrators have to rely on one vendor, and relinquish their ability to choose the best point solutions.

Red Lambda's security risk management system, Assurity SRM™, has a different approach to proactively managing and protecting endpoints. Linking threat protection, vulnerability management, network access control, leakage protection and other security controls to a highly-scalable, modular automation framework, Assurity SRM™ gives organizations the flexibility to select the best point technologies for their specific needs without compromise. Assurity SRM™ uses Red Lambda's patent-pending collaborative grid technology to integrate seamlessly with existing devices and tools, control them and use their information to assess and automatically remediate risk. Assurity SRM™ allows administrators to maintain their best-of-breed point solution diversity and still get centralized control over policy and workflow. Assurity SRM™ represents a next generation, flexible solution that delivers total security risk management.

  • Total Security Visibility: Assurity SRM™ collects, filters, correlates and aggregates security events from devices, tools and endpoints across the organization to monitor and react to threats. Assurity SRM™ automatically maps network topology, dependencies, and endpoints, and performs vulnerability analysis and relative asset valuations.

  • Ubiquitous Network Access Control: As part of its suite of preventative safeguards, Assurity SRM™ provides fully integrated pre/post-admission network access control (NAC). Its flexible Java architecture provides a seamless end-user experience for Windows, Mac and Linux endpoints over wired, wireless and VPN connections, with or without 802.1x.

  • Mitigates Endpoint Information Exposure: Assurity SRM™ proactively tracks endpoint information exposure, monitors and configures access controls, correlates audit records and maintains encryption. The system proactively manages endpoint information leakage protection (ILP) policy and integrates with best-in-class 3rd part ILP solutions for complete solutions for protecting data in motion and data at rest. Integrated risk analysis incorporates exposure information for more thorough risk visualization.

  • Vulnerability & Configuration Management: Assurity SRM™ provides automated configuration and remediation of endpoint security, including support for popular patch deployment tools, native OS manipulation and other mechanisms. Administrators may also choose to mix in self-remediation processes that transfer responsibility for compliance to the end user for environments desiring that approach.

  • Modular Software-based Framework: Assurity SRM™ is a software-only solution that is designed to harmonize, not replace, existing network hardware, security appliances, software tools and endpoints. Its collaborative grid framework seamlessly coordinates underutilized resources, information and interfaces across an organization to perform the underlying tasks required for security risk management. A modular wrapper-based architecture allows new third party point solutions to be included ad hoc as needed, and a large library of wrappers for open source and commercial security tools, network hardware and software applications is included.

  • Integrated Risk Management Console: Assurity SRM’s™ management console provides dashboard views of all risk, threat, vulnerability, configuration, exposure and network access control information. Central policy administration, asset valuation and the visual workflow designer combine with overlay-driven network visualization, comprehensive reporting and integrated case management to dramatically reduce the cost of managing security risks and meeting compliance requirements.

  • Supports Compliance Requirements: Assurity SRM’s™ underlying collaborative grid maintains secure archives of correlated and aggregated threat, vulnerability, control and policy action information. Users may choose retention periods, encrypted storage and other options in support of the most demanding compliance requirements. Holistic auditing, extensive notification support and automated reporting save time associated with compliance and regulatory processes.

  • Streamlines IT Operations Workflow & Reduces Costs: Assurity SRM™ provides an extensive library of pre-defined policy actions that can be selected for rapid deployment. In addition, Assurity SRM™ includes a visual workflow automation designer, which allows the deployment of complex actions by simply drawing their flow chart. This capability drastically reduces the burden of administration by acting as an abstraction layer between custom actions and the specific devices and tools of the network.

  • Radical Scalability: Assurity SRM’s™ underlying foundation is based upon collaborative grid architecture, a unique fusion of the best elements of grid computing and P2P. Unlike other solutions based on dedicated hardware, or client-server architectures, Assurity SRM’s™ underlying collaborative grid architecture is scale-free. This means that Assurity SRM™ has no practical limit to the size of its deployed environment. With its ability to leverage spare distributed resources, Assurity SRM™ continues to become more resilient and more capable the more nodes that are deployed.
