Symantec enterprise security products, Symantec DeepSight Alert Services and Symantec Incident Manager, have integrated offerings with BMC Software's Remedy™ Help Desk and Action Request System™ (AR System™). The combination of Symantec and Remedy solutions now enables enterprise customers to conduct faster, more succinct communication between their internal IT and security teams, resulting in quicker response and resolution to security incidents and vulnerabilities and overall enhanced security for the enterprise.
Symantec DeepSight Alert Services provides a comprehensive early warning service to deliver timely and actionable security alerts based on the world's largest database of vulnerabilities and malicious code. DeepSight Alert Services 6.0 offers an add-on option to integrate alert information into environments using Remedy Help Desk or custom AR System applications.
This integrated offering allows administrators to leverage security alert information to prioritize tasks according to their critical business value. DeepSight Alert Services sends personalized, relevant alerts, with detailed mitigation strategies directly to customers' familiar Remedy Help Desk or AR System environment for faster response to critical threats.
Organizational security efforts are tracked using Remedy's service desk tickets and reporting capabilities, allowing customers to measure their security policies and track their regulatory compliance.
Symantec Incident Manager correlates security events in real time across disparate security technologies and network tiers to identify, prioritize and coordinate the resolution of security incidents. With the new Symantec Relay for Remedy Help Desk, the first two-way connection for security management and Remedy (developed in partnership with BMC Software), the recently released Symantec Incident Manager 3.0 works with Remedy Help Desk and AR System to facilitate faster, clearer communication between IT and security teams.
The Symantec Relay for Remedy Help Desk enables Symantec Incident Manager to generate service desk tickets that include detailed remediation guidance without requiring the administrator to switch applications to manually enter ticket detail. Remedy can then send remediation updates to Symantec Incident Manager, allowing the security team to track remediation progress. By simplifying the interaction between the teams, enterprises save valuable time by increasing the speed of response to security incidents.
Together, Symantec and BMC Software will help your organization manage its IT and security resources in an effort to provide a high level of security and availability for the services your business depends on.
