AlertEnterprise Security Convergence Solutions for Federal, Defense and Intelligence

Overview

Federal regulations and mandates related to security and risk management like FISMA, FIPS 140 / 201, HSPD-12 and many others cut across the silos of IT, Security and Operations. True prevention of fraud, theft, and acts of sabotage and terrorism involve more than just IT or Physical Security; there is a need to analyze risks across IT applications, Identity Databases, Physical Access Control Systems and special systems related to Critical Infrastructure Protection. Traditional solutions have been deployed along departmental lines within IT or Security functions at agencies making it necessary to employ manual processes that are wasteful and time-consuming. AlertEnterprise automates this process and delivers security solutions for Federal, Defense and Intelligence applications that address some of the most crucial issues for the government today.

For HSPD-12 AlertEnterprise Automates PIV to PACS Integration Across Multi-Vendor Environments

AlertEnterprise unifies and manages provisioning, reporting and Incident response across multi-vendor PACS (Physical Access Control Systems). Departments and agencies faced with implementing a common identification system can leverage AlertEnterprise to unify provisioning and reporting across access systems that are already installed. With AlertEnterprise software, federal organizations can meet the provisions of OMB 11-11 and HSPD-12 without having to replace their existing investments in current installations and yet derive added benefits of enterprise wide security management, reduction in operating costs and innovative new capabilities like enhanced risk analysis, compliance automation and active policy enforcement.

To address insider threat, AlertEnterprise conducts background certification checks and risk analysis prior to enabling access to critical areas, assets, devices and applications needed for operations. Additionally AlertEnterprise ensures that terminated employees no longer have physical or logical access to system, facilities and assets. Organizations that are trying to do this today have procedures that are manual, time consuming, costly and cannot scale.

For FISMA Regulations AlertEnterprise Automates Compliance Assessments and Reporting

AlertEnterprise delivers complete multi-regulatory compliance automation capabilities. A Common Controls and Risk Repository (CCRR) contains controls from multiple regulations including NIST SP 800-53 / 800-53A, ISO 27002, HIPAA (NIST SP 800-66), NERC CIP, 10 CFR 73.54/55 and many others. The AlertEnterprise solution supports multi-level workflow approval, document and evidence storage and the ability to automate controls for continuous monitoring. Full reporting capabilities are provided as well.

For Situational Intelligence AlertEnterprise Integrates Across PACS, Video Surveillance and GIS

AlertEnterprise can deliver consolidated information to situation managers in security as well as operational roles via configurable roles-based dashboards that include risk, compliance and incident information. Geo-spatial capabilities automatically pin-point the location of the incident and deliver drill-down capability for optimum response. The solution offers capabilities to co-relate seemingly innocent events and activities to detect real threats and risks, while delivering powerful alerting and automated Remedial Action Strategies (RAS) for decisive action. Capabilities include consolidating information from multiple threat sources related to cyber and physical security, insider threats and sabotage attempts. Cross-agency communications across multiple channels can be streamlined delivering a virtual command and control center anytime, anywhere.
