Web-Based Managed Service Security Console

One-Stop Network Security Monitoring and Reporting

LEARN MORE

Clone Systems’ Security Information Portal (SIP) is a web-based network security management dashboard that provides you critical information about all of your managed systems, in real-time. The SIP portal logs all security events, monitors the operation of all network security hardware, generates aggregate security reports, and allows you to initiate on-demand actions like PCI and vulnerability scans or a full-fledged penetration test. Our SIP portal is quickly deployed and affords you unparalleled access to the security profiles being applied to your data.

The SIP also serves as the conduit through which you and our off-site engineers communicate. All open service requests are ticketed, which provides you an audit trail to assure all issues are addressed. Service updates can be delivered either through the portal, by email, or by telephone.

The immediate benefits of having a real-time interface to all of your externally managed network activity are significant. All-hours visibility into network security operations; the ability to address configuration issues and adjust security parameters on the fly; easy report generation for any area of system security; and seamless access to all system and security logs in the event of a failure or intrusion.

Our Security Information Portal effectively eliminates all of the logistical difficulties that have plagued off-site managed systems in the past. We will bet that somewhere your system administrator is smiling.

CG-SIP Features Set and Characteristics

Every active network device is monitored at all times. These include, but are certainly not limited to:

  • Firewalls
  • IPS/IDS
  • Web server
  • Active Directory controller
  • Email server
  • Switch logs
  • Routers and gateways
  • All networked workstations and peripherals

CG-SIP is entirely platform- and vendor-independent, meaning that proprietary components installed on the network will be secured and audited like any others.

Vulnerability and PCI scans can be initiated from the console, as well as a Penetration test. This provides you with virtually every security administration or anomaly detection option you could need at a moment’s notice. No different, in fact, that if your security services were performed in-house.

A full suite of risk assessment and workflow tools are included with CG-SIP that allow you to perform a sophisticated evaluation of general and specific security parameters.

Security events are assigned weighted ratings that immediately warn you of potentially critical scenarios. Warnings and alerts will display on-screen depending on the severity level you designate.

The console can be widely customized for viewing the specific details you wish to monitor, the types of reports you wish to generate, and the tasks you wish to run.

A robust selection of reports, including:

  • Summary Report
  • Daily Alert Summary Report
  • Report by Vulnerability
  • Current Risk Spreadsheet
  • Ticket Report
  • Alert Export Report

Customized reports may be generated against any security area by many different levels of detail. Reports also can be scheduled to be generated at specific intervals or days.

CG-SIP is much more than a long list of functional bullet points. It is a refined, secure means by which to manage all the security parameters of your enterprise, at a remarkably economical price. If you’re new to managed systems or one of our long-time clients, the utility of our portal should be apparent. Contact a Clone Systems Representative to learn more.
