Features
This alignment of an organizations various functional areas is easily achieved using Information Security Analytics platform. The following core features make it easy to ingest, curate and visualize the pertinent security data to accelerate decision making.
Ingestion
There are no limits to the types of information that can be ingested, using our three-step process. Using structured, unstructured and semi structured information, from logs to social media all data can be easily absorbed into the Information Security Analytics platform.
To learn more about ingesting data into the platform, see section Manage.
Curation & Fusion
While adding any data sources is a huge benefit, it is also necessary to perform cleansing and ongoing data hygiene. Visually associating and combining data sources helps to align relationships within internal and external data. It is not necessary to hire a developer or contact your vendor to perform these tasks.
For more information, learn more about the Source Builder.
Visualize & Collaborate
Tools must be designed to discover patterns and anomalies. Visualizations can be shared with team members throughout the analytical process. Enterprises can therefore create the necessary structures to perform self-learning to develop an accurate pictures of results.
For more information, see section Workspaces, and Search.
Administration & User Management
Information Security Analytics uses a role-based user management mechanism to simplify administration of the platform. For more information, see Access Controls.
Core Concepts
There are two major sections to the ISA platform
- The Manager: The management interface enables administrators to easily add data sources using source builder, and then assign access to data via User Groups and Data Groups. When users are added to the system they can be assigned administrative permissions.
- The Workspaces: Users such as CISOs, IT professionals, and analysts will spend most of their time inWorkspaces. There is a Global workspace with pre-defined Dashboard views to get users up-and-running quickly with a baseline view of data. A user's view of the Global Workspace is based on the data they have been given access to by an administrator. Users can also create their own Project Workspace to collaborate with others using subsets of this data. In Project workspaces users can visualize data, view Dashboards, and generate reports.
