NetIQ on Tuesday introduced its first integrated enterprise security management suite, a departure for the San Jose, Calif.-based company better known for its single-purpose products such as WebMarshal and AppAnalyzer.
Security Management Suite, which will start shipping in the next 30 days, is a combination of already-released and upcoming security solutions, said Jim McGrath, NetIQ's senior director of product management.
Composed of NetIQ Security Manager 5.0, NetIQ Vulnerability Manager 5.0, and NetIQ Vulnerability Manager, the suite takes an integrated, top-to-bottom approach that should be especially attractive to SMBs, said McGrath.
"When you have dedicated security personnel, a point-product approach makes sense, but for the small- and medium-level customers, with a single administrator who doesn't have that same kind of specialization, the suite addresses the problem by putting a wrapper around the components," he said.
NetIQ is touting the suite as a "closed loop" solution, meaning that all aspects of security are under one roof.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
