BT Assure. Security that matters

The security landscape facing organizations today

is complex, fast moving, and global in nature. The

modern networked organization is characterized

by multiple-entry points, eroded perimeters and

complex infrastructures of LAN, WAN, VPN, Voice,

SIP, TDM, wireless/mobile etc, requiring dynamic

and innovative risk and threat management.

Staying ahead of these threats requires us to

rethink the risk; we need visibility and real-time

monitoring and management of all voice and data

across the organization. BT, Cisco and SecureLogix

have combined to offer a new groundbreaking

service to our global customers.

manner, is now possible with Cisco’s ISRG2 access router

API. The API now enables new security services to be

Paradigm shift – increasing complexity and

huge growth in data

The sense of a paradigm shift happening in the world

of security derives from the growing complexity and

volatility of the threat environment. To manage this

threat, organizations acknowledge that they need a

proactive security management system that can handle

and act upon the huge and growing amounts of data

being generated internally and externally.

Managing the risk – integrated voice and data

threat management across the network

Managing this new risk environment needs an integrated

approach to voice and data across the organization.

voice communication continues to be a vital application

for most organizations, but is coming under increasing

threat from denial of service attacks, toll fraud, modem

attacks and many more. In today’s economic climate

organizations cannot afford the luxury of managing the

protection of their voice and data networks as distinct

activities, which is why BT Assure, in partnership with

SecureLogix and Cisco, has brought it all together in a

single management system.

Revolutionary new service – Assure Analytics

The unique value of this management system is a new

and innovative service from BT Assure Analytics. This is

a revolutionary way to gain insight into security metrics

by consolidating millions of data points into simple and

intuitive graphical presentations which highlight trends,

illustrate ways in which data is or is not related, and allow

the user to drill down and extract the underlying detail

collection, organization and analysis of large amounts of

structured and unstructured data, which then enables

a holistic view of the global threat environment, and an

enhanced view of how to manage the risk.

If you can’t see it, you can’t defend

against it

A simple principle underpins the BT Assure global Threat

Management service – if we want to proactively manage

and pre-empt attacks on our organization we need a clear

understanding and visibility of the threats we are facing.
