Security Management Software for Government Bodies

Most security breaches and attacks occur at the endpoint. Endpoints that are not up-to-date with the most current patches and configurations are vulnerable, and unmanaged removable media and applications can easily open the floodgates for data to escape into the wrong hands. The threat of data exposure and network instability or disruption comes from outside government walls as well as from within.

While many government bodies have established endpoint security policies, they do not have the right security management software to enforce them. Many users continue to run software that is either unauthorized or is without the latest patches, remove data from agency networks and download infected or inappropriate files, which can expose vulnerabilities that enable the theft or loss of critical information.

Security Management Software That Secures Critical Information at the Endpoint

By automatically identifying and remediating security and operational vulnerabilities and enforcing application and device use policies at the endpoint, Lumension’s Common Criteria EAL 2 Certified security management software enables government organizations to reduce the risk of network instability and protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data. Lumension solutions include:

• PatchLink Scan™ - Complete network-based scanning solution enables assessment and analysis of threats impacting all network devices.
   
• PatchLink Update™ - Proactive management of threats through automated collection, analysis, and delivery of patches (all major operating systems and applications) across heterogeneous networks.
   
• PatchLink Security Configuration Management™ - Out-of-the-box regulatory and standards-based assessment to ensure endpoints are properly configured.
   
• PatchLink Developers Kit™ - Create custom remediation packages to address configuration issues, remove unauthorized files and applications, address Zero-day threats, patch custom software and more.
   
• PatchLink Enterprise Reporting™ - Robust data warehouse that enables easy creation and sharing of reports on all aspects of your remediation efforts in support of policy compliance.
   
• Sanctuary® Application Control - Policy-based enforcement of application use to secure your endpoints from malware, spyware and unwanted or unlicensed software.
   
• Sanctuary® Device Control - Policy-based enforcement of removable device use to control the flow of inbound and outbound data from your endpoints.

Lumension Security Management Software Helps Government Bodies to:

• Meet strict international requirements posed by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme for IT Security (CCEVS)
   
• Safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive data and ensure secure configurations
