BSA Overview
Although organizations have made major investments in network security, a
significant gap still exists between the actual security state of
enterprise networks and what is known to IT.
The complex and dynamic nature of enterprise networks and the adoption
of new IT technologies, such as virtualization, present an enormous
challenge for IT managers. Statistically, an additional 20% to 50% of
devices reside on enterprise networks without the organization’s
knowledge, unknown to its own managers.
This uncertainty severely undermines the security state of the network
as security measures are only partially applied. One cannot defend
against or manage devices whose existence is unknown.
Security and compliance cannot be achieved. At any given moment:
Not all of the devices are accounted for
Security measures are not applied against all
devices
Not all of the devices are aligned with the
organization’s standards and policies
The actual risk an organization is exposed to is unknown, and there is
no control over the security status of the enterprise networks. This is
the "black hole" of network security. It threatens your business’s
reputation, revenue, and ability to comply with regulations.
Insightix Business Security Assurance
The Insightix Business Security Assurance (BSA) product suite is
designed to detect, identify, profile, audit and control ALL devices
connected to your network, in real-time.
Discovery
Comprehensive collection of data from ALL network assets, gathering
complete, accurate and detailed continuous network intelligence. This
unique approach provides always on, real-time network visibility acting
as the foundation for the BSA solution.
Audit, Compliance & Risk Analysis
Automated security configuration auditing, simplifying the process of
conducting network-wide configuration audits. This provides efficient
security compliance tracking and auditing procedures.
User Identity Profiling
Establishment and maintenance of user intelligence by correlating
between user identities and specific IP addresses. This improves audit
controls, and enhances regulatory compliance. It also significantly
enhances incident response by enabling locating vulnerable and/or
exploited hosts, and eliminating the manual efforts to track users.
Remediation
Identification of the corrective measures that must be put in place and
fix inconsistencies with the security posture of assets attached to the
network. Aligning the security configuration of assets with security
best practices considerably reduces the enterprise networks' risk of
exposure.
Control & Enforcement
Safeguarding the network’s security integrity by preventing network
access from unauthorized and/or non-compliant elements.
Bridging The Network Security Gap
Total Network visibility With Real-Time Network intelligence
Insightix BSA provides a 360° view into the actual state of your network
security. It builds and maintains a complete and accurate inventory of
ALL devices operating on the enterprise network. Utilizing unique
profiling technology, Insightix BSA provides meaningful network, device
and user intelligence, thereby reducing ambiguity and enabling better
decision making based on accurate and in-depth audit information.
Network information is continuously collected to reflect the actual
current state of the network. Insightix BSA detects 20%-50% of
additional devices residing on an enterprise network, which otherwise
would not be accounted for.
Insightix BSA automatically performs security configuration audits based
on the asset classification information collected, simplifying the
process of conducting network-wide security configuration audits.
Insightix BSA provides efficient security compliance tracking and
auditing procedures, highlighting the gap between the actual security
configurations of devices to industry best practices.
Insightix BSA maintains a network-wide enforcement policy that
safeguards the network’s integrity and prevents unauthorized and
non-compliant devices from accessing the network by isolating
(quarantining) offending devices.
Insightix BSA can integrate with your security ecosystem to enhance the
operation of your existing security products and provide total network
visibility with real-time network intelligence.
The BSA unique approach is an agentless solution; it does not require
any integration with infrastructure components and is vendor agnostic.
