Network Security

Securing your network is of paramount importance because your network is the gateway to all your organization’s digital information assets in your organization. But the task of keeping every device configured and up to date with the most recent security recommendations and software patches can be a daunting task thanks to the sheer volume of devices and the man hours associated with configuring them.

EMC Ionix Network Configuration Manager (formerly VoyenceControl) reduces the time it takes your IT team to update every device's security profile from minutes per device to minutes for the entire network.

 Effectively Remediate Security Issues

• Update OS images (patches) to multiple devices in a single automated job
• Update access rules (ACLs) across your network quickly and efficiently
• Roll device credentials painlessly; Network Configuration Manager can roll passwords and SNMP community strings on 500 devices in approximately 12 minutes.

 Harden the Network

• Network Configuration Manager’s sophisticated policy engine allows policies and standards to cover the entire enterprise or to be focused on a single network or subnet, or even a device class or single device.
• Standard change forms—based on your defined golden configs for class and type of device—ensure that initial configurations meet your defined policies and standards.
• Automatic audits of all proposed changes to device configurations ensure that non-compliant changes don’t enter the operational network.
• Multilevel workflows ensure that standard, non-standard and urgent changes follow corporate processes and are ITIL compatible.
• Integrations with existing workflow, helpdesk, and trouble-ticketing software, as well as fault and performance monitoring systems, close security vulnerabilities as quickly as possible and ensure a maximum return on your investments in process tools.
• Regularly scheduled audits of your IT infrastructure automatically detect non-compliant devices and enter a change request into your existing trouble-ticket or workflow systems. Network Configuration Manager can automatically provide suggested remediation for your approval.
