The process of distributing and applying updates to softwares is called patch management. They are used to correct errors in the network. It ensures that all software, even those which are rarely used remain up to date thereby making sure that they don't introduce major security holes within a business.
The Security Management Appliance (SMA) centralizes management and reporting functions across multiple network, email and web security appliances. It simplifies administration and planning, improves compliance monitoring, helps to enable consistent enforcement of policy and enhances threat protection.
A Security Operation Center (SOC) is a centralized function within an organization that monitors and analyzes activity on networks, servers, endpoints, databases, applications, websites, and other systems, looking for anomalous activity that could be indicative of a security incident or compromise. It is done by employing people, processes, and technology.
It is an analytical system that offers unprecedented advantages providing a boost to the remote asset management market. With remote monitoring and maintenance, one can monitor networks, servers, systems, etc. and once any sign of an issue is observed then corrective actions are taken accordingly before they affect business.
Security Information and Event Management is an integral part of Cyber Security. It functions across the entire IT infrastructure by aggregating and analyzing various activities from different resources covering network services, servers, domain controllers etc. It is a software solution that provides real-time visibility across an organizations information security system.
Remediation occurs when a threat can be removed, while mitigation involves minimizing the damage as it cannot be fully eliminated. Mitigation sets the stage for a cleanup after which a remedy is restored to get back operations to normal. For example, Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) mitigation routes suspicious traffic to a centralized location where it is filtered.
