Security management applications consolidate network management and monitoring, which allows more secure control of the network. Security management provides several functions:

• Central repository for collecting network information for further analysis of security-related events. In addition, many applications have reporting capabilities to help network managers' present technical information to upper management. Some examples include Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) with TACACS and RADIUS servers, Syslog servers, and intrusion detection systems, which enable deep inspection of complex security events.
• Allows for easier deployment of security policies into the security devices via graphical user interface tools. These tools help you maintain the consistency of the security policies across a broad spectrum of network device types.
• Role-based access control for all accounts to separate administrative tasks and user functions.

Security implementations need to be planned properly using the security policies governed by the organization to make good use of the security applications. From time to time, audits are necessary, which requires updates to the security policy and related security management applications. A major risk to security implementations is policy error. Management needs to be cognizant of the security policy and know how to manage incidents properly.

Security Platform Solutions

Cisco has a variety of security management products and technologies that allow scalable administration and enforcement of security policy for the Cisco Self-Defending Network platform. These solutions reduce the operational management and automate many of the common tasks, including configuration, analysis, incident response, and reporting. Some of the security management platforms consist of the following:

• Cisco Security Manager (CSM) is an integrated solution for configuration management of firewall, VPN, router, switch module, and IPS devices. CSM has capabilities for security policies to be deployed by device, by group, or globally for all devices.
• Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) provides centralized control for administrative access to Cisco devices and security applications. ACS provides for both TACACS and RADIUS security services and supports routers, switches, firewalls, VPN concentrators, content switches, wireless, and VoIP solutions.
• Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (Cisco Security MARS) is an appliance-based solution for network security administrators to monitor, identify, isolate, and respond to security threats. MARS understands the network topology and device configurations from routers, switches, firewalls, and IPS devices. MARS also can model packet flows on the network.
• Management Center for CSA (CSA MC) is an SSL web-based tool for managing Cisco Security Agent configurations. CSAs can be grouped to deploy security policies to multiple agents.
• Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is a web-based tool for routers and supports a wide range of IOS software. SDM improves productivity, simplifies router deployments, and can help troubleshoot network issues. SDM is free software for Cisco router models ranging from the Cisco 830 series to the Cisco 7301.
• Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) is a web-based tool for managing Cisco ASA 5500 series appliances, PIX 500 series appliances (version 7.0 and higher), and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Firewall Services Modules (FWSM version 3.1 and higher). ASDM comes with wizards to automate many common tasks and comprehensive monitoring services.
• Cisco Intrusion Prevention System Device Manager (IDM) is a web-based application that configures and manages IPS sensors. IDM runs a web server and is accessible via SSL supporting IPS v5.0 sensors.
