Security Lighthouse Version 5
AMPEG Security Lighthouse is a vendor-independent, cross-console monitoring application for Security Level Management. It empowers security officers at medium to large-sized enterprises, public enterprises, and government agencies to establish quality assurance in IT security and increase its efficiency at the same time.
 |
Security Lighthouse is characterised by the following:
Comprehensive monitoring and reporting for
security applications including patch
management, virus protection, anti-spam
and vulnerability management All relevant information from the security
solutions is available in close to real-time.
The amount of work involved in preparing
long-term analyses and ad hoc reports on
the current security status is reduced to a
minimum
Flexible, customizable Dashboards provide all
security officers, and, if required, process
owners with targeted access to information
relevant to security Security Information Map: Helicopter view of the
nationwide security status signalised by
traffic light colours Permanent verification of the security level at your company by comparing the results with definable
threshold and limiting values, in order to increase the quality of the protection level Early and targeted identification of weak spots to quickly establish the requisite security level, and
therefore minimise the residual risk Safeguarding of business processes by verifying the compliance status of the systems
incorporated Analysis of the security status according to criticality, protection category of the IT system or
assignment to a business process Verification of the efficiency of technical measures and calculation of key performance indicators
for the continual optimization of IT security Sharing information: current and focussed information can be passed on to security officers Minimum implementation effort:, also because agents do not have to be rolled out

Positioning : Binding link between security management and the security operation.
Security management and the security operation are being presented with enormous challenges: Reconciling security policies against legal provisions and the actual safety requirement and creating a suitable catalogue of actions, which it should also be possible to verify. To be added to this the parallel use of several security solutions from different software houses, that are maintained and receive support from different departments in widely distributed locations.
The various security systems employed make achieving a standardised and up-to-date overview of the security status for all the computer systems in the corporate network nearly impossible. A lack of transparency exists. Security gaps remain undiscovered and the risk of weak spots being compromised increases.
 |
AMPEG Security Lighthouse is a component in the quality assurance process.
Measurable aims for IT security are determined by threshold and limiting values being stored as target specifications in the rule type. This allows the security management team and the security officer to review aims on a continuous basis and derive measures for continually improving IT security.
Reduced effort
At the same time AMPEG Security Lighthouse reduces the amount of work needed to generate analyses and reports to a minimum. Companies can identify weak spots in the network much more quickly and gain time in taking up suitable measures.
Show what is going on
Security Lighthouse verifies the work performed by all employees involved in IT security without bursting the bank.
Risk minimisation with very little implementation effort
The reduced effort in implementing Security Lighthouse makes the improvement in transparency
and the targeted conversion of security measures resulting from this even more attractive.
