Course Description

Internet Security Systems' SiteProtector application provides scalable, centralized security management and data analysis capabilities for Proventia appliances and RealSecure network, server and desktop protection solutions. SiteProtector simplifies large-scale deployments through cost-efficient, unified command, control and monitoring, thereby reducing security management demands on staff, network traffic or other operational resources. Event prioritization and correlation enable real-time attack and misuse tracking.

The SiteProtector interface helps administrators work more efficiently through flexible views built around asset grouping and event aggregation. Powerful filters screen for event exceptions and false alerts. In addition, SiteProtector automates Proventia and RealSecure deployments, and enables multiple site management via secure remote administration.

The Advanced SiteProtector course provides "under the hood" training in the advanced workings of the SiteProtector application's architecture and functions. This two-day course features tips and tricks that enable students to use this best-of-breed intrusion protection product more effectively.
