Introduction

Centralized security management helps you bridge the IT and SOC silos that often separate layers of protection and deployment models. This type of connected, centralized approach improves visibility and protection, reduces complexity, and eliminates redundant and repetitive tasks in security administration–all of which make your organization more secure and your life easier.

  • No more console hopping – configure policies, manage threat and data protection, and perform detailed investigations from a central console for multiple layers of security.

  • Gain a holistic view of your security posture with continuous monitoring and centralized visibility.

  • Easy integration with your SOC.

  • Connected Threat Defense enables the sharing of real-time threat intelligence with all security layers so that if one layer uncovers a new threat, the other layers can protect against it.

  • Simple threat investigation tools allow you to look back in time to identify where a threat has spread and the full context and extent of an attack.
