With the integrated security for Cisco networks from IBM, clients are able to select the appropriate product and services offerings based on their own specific security objectives.
Verifying identities for network access-
IBM Tivoli Access Manager provides a line of defense at the application layer by managing access to specific applications and UNIX® and Linux™ operating systems.
-
By using Tivoli Identity Manager an enterprise can leverage its integration with Cisco Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) to automate deployment of a network-level identity environment.
-
IBM Tivoli Identity Manager provides a security-rich, automated and policy-based user management solution that helps address key organizational issues.
Device compliance checking-
IBM Tivoli Security Compliance Manager acts as an early warning system by identifying security vulnerabilities and security policy violations.
-
This complements Cisco Trust Agent which determines if Cisco Security Agent or antivirus software is installed and current, the level of the operating system and patches as well as any of the large set of system parameters that can be checked.
Remediation of non-compliant devices-
IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager which through workflows, automates the manual provisioning and deployment process can address the remediation of the non-compliant devices
ThinkPad® and ThinkCentre™ Systems with Rescue and Recovery with Antidote Delivery Manager software enables noncompliant Windows® endpoints to retrieve updates and become compliant.
-
It utilizes Cisco Network Admission Control (Cisco NAC), a Cisco-led, multipartner program designed to limit damage caused by viruses and worms to isolate a noncompliant Windows endpoint from the secure network.
