Managed Firewall is
delivered through an IBM SOC. The Virtual SOC
combines the capabilities of global SOCs,
advanced analysis and correlation, artificial
intelligence, industry-leading security
expertise, and a high-impact Web-based
management portal.
The Virtual SOC is designed to reduce the
complexity and burden of managing and monitoring
firewalls manually. It can also improve the
accuracy of security event identification,
incident escalation and remediation. The
Virtual-SOC portal gives clients more control
over security operations 24x7x365 or as needed.
It can be used to oversee security of managed
and unmanaged devices, regardless of device type
or vendor.
Several regulatory mandates
also require effective security event and log
archival. But security event and log management
can be challenging due to heterogeneous
technology, devices and a high volume of data.

Correlation:
When Managed IDS and IPS Services and
Managed and Monitored Firewall Services
are used in combination, clients receive
correlated protection. IBM SOC analysts
proactively identify attacks via
monitored intrusion detection or
intrusion prevention systems, and
request client authorization to
implement firewall rule changes to block
access from malicious hosts.

Vendor-agnostic approach: Checkpoint, Cisco
PIX, Juniper Netscreen, IBM

When Security Event and Log Management
Services and Managed IDS and IPS
Services or Managed and Monitored
Firewall Services are used together,
clients can view all security events
from internally managed firewall, IDS
and IPS devices alongside of the managed
ones. This provides a consolidated
security view as well as query and
reporting capabilities across the
enterprise.
