Lumension Case Study
It is imperative that organizations move away from the scan-and-patch mindset. Not only is it a reactive method of security, but also not every problem can be fixed with a patch.

Reporting and Compliance Business Issues and Challenges
The expanding influence of security and business regulation and the increasing need to demonstrate compliance with internal polices make corporate governance and risk management a top priority for organisations worldwide. As companies plan for the future, the link between IT and business consistently ranks as one of the top three priorities for CIOs¹.
IT senior executives need timely, accurate system visibility, configuration conformance data, vulnerability management analysis and reporting to help assess business risk and meet regulatory compliance.

How it Works
- Gather data snapshots from each Lumension Patch and Remediation™ server in your environment, on a pre-defined, automated basis. The data is uploaded to a separate Enterprise Reporting server, via secure RSA encrypted transmissions. This ensures that data analysis does not interfere with critical assessment and remediation activities. Once uploaded, the data is consolidated into the central Enterprise Reporting data warehouse repository for centralised analysis and reporting.
- Start your analysis at a global level, and then drill down to view specific Patch and Remediation Servers. For granular analysis, you can further drill into the results for individual groups or network devices. Graphical representations for vulnerability management, asset management, configuration conformance and trending analysis are also available.
- Role-based access to data and reports makes it fast and easy for users to identify data that is critical to their area of responsibility. This ensures information is viewed only by individuals with proper authority. Lumension Enterprise Reporting's open database schema integrates with any ODBC/OLEDB compliant reporting tool, including leading third party report generators from Business Objects, Crystal Reports and Microsoft.
- Create policy-based vulnerability management reports that accurately demonstrate in real-time the status of your security posture. The reports you create will support internal policy enforcement and compliance with IT security aspects of government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, PCI and FISMA.
