netForensics provides a holistic methodology to help customers build information security solutions that address strategic business objectives such as risk management and regulatory compliance.

The nFX methodology guides organisations on how to implement netForensics technology as part of a comprehensive approach to managing the information security lifecycle. Customers can leverage the methodology to help prepare the organisation to combat threats, speed threat identification, and improve incident response processes.

By using netForensics technology with the nFX methodology, security organisations can realise new found process efficiencies, while managers can attain new found visibility into the organisation’s security posture and performance. netForensics enables organisations to implement information security solutions that allow them to:

• Automate threat identification
• Obtain real-time vulnerability assessment for high value assets
• Deploy a structured incident management process that integrates network and security operations groups to effectively eradicate threats
• Ensure the integrity of compliance assets and strategic business applications
• Measure operations effectiveness of key performance indicators for continuous optimisation

Information security is a major component of corporate risk management initiatives, and netForensics SIM technology powers risk management solutions by helping enterprises:

• Create a global picture of risk by integrating security information from all network devices, security devices and applications
• Generate a risk baseline and measure risk exposure relative to the baseline over time
• Make relevant information security risk data available to broader risk management

Regulatory compliance poses a major challenge for many commercial and government organisations. Compliance regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, FISMA, and GLBA require enterprises to deploy a robust security infrastructure to ensure that the proper information protection and internal controls are in place, or risk exposing the enterprise to stiff fines and penalties. nFX Open Security Platform provides data collection and preservation, monitoring reporting, and incident response capabilities required to maintain regulatory compliance.
