Description
When it comes to security, organizations are often forced either to use different management tools for each security product, or sacrifice manageability to use a so-called "unified management" for systems that were not initially designed to be managed together. The result is inefficiency, higher costs for training and an overall decrease in security due to the administrator's inability to effectively manage the overall security environment.
Features & Benefits
Domains
Domains allow Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP) to easily manage their customer environments centrally. The MSSPs can separate customer environments to isolated subdomains, like having separate Management Server installations for each customer, which still allows for sharing elements between all subdomains while keeping each customer’s elements intact in all contexts. This unique architecture keeps the MSSP environments simpler and thus easier to maintain. The domains are a powerful tool also for large enterprise customers. Enterprise can separate different business unit or divisions in their own domains, white still maintaining centralized control over the whole corporation. You can use domains efficiently to specify administrators access control by setting up logical boundaries for different business domain areas. This allows delegating domain daily operations to local people while maintaining the high level view of the total system in the corporate head quarters.
