Abstract:
Disclosed herein are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for processing and managing information from one or more security control tools, such as a security configuration management tool, a vulnerability management tool, an event logging tool, or other IT infrastructure security or monitoring tool that is used to monitor, secure, and/or control assets in an IT infrastructure. For example, in some embodiments, user interfaces are disclosed that allow a user to quickly view, filter, and evaluate the degree of security control coverage in selected assets of an enterprise. In further embodiments, user interfaces are disclosed that allow a user to view and evaluate the current security state for selected assets in across a variety of categories and, in some cases, as guided by a two-dimensional vulnerability risk matrix.
