Environment
NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager 6.0
Situation
Secure Configuration Manager 6.0 is a significant release for existing and prospective customers with expanded assessment coverage, simplified integration and a new licensing model.
Resolution
Key enhancements with this release include:
- Network Device support: Security configuration assessment coverage has been expanded to support more network devices, including out-of-the-box support for Cisco and Juniper devices. Where other network device support is needed, a flexible interface has been provided to allow customers or professional services to extend support to other network devices.
- Sentinel integration: Events can be sent to Sentinel when security checks fail on an asset, or policy set, basis. Awareness of security vulnerabilities and compliance failures gives the security analyst relevant context for evaluating current threats.
- Streamline integration with IT GRC solutions: Unified Compliance Framework interface (UCFi) standard integration support helps to significantly reduce the cost of ownership and improve usability of NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager when used with IT GRC solutions.
- Infrastructure and content currency updates: This not only includes updates to much of the security content, but updates to enable operation on Windows 2012 R2, Microsoft SQL Server 2012, and 2014..
