ISCS provides secure communications for both public and private networks. It is targeted to large environments or environments with frequently changing security needs. ISCS claims a startling 90% reduction in the labor required to implement complex security while minimizing exposure to human error. The goal is to make network security so affordable and quick to implement that it can be deployed where it has not been previously cost justified, e.g., inter and intra office communications.
ISCS provides access control, data encryption, data authentication, user authentication, routing, DHCP and some measure of PKI. It's roadmap includes expansion into QoS, User Restricted Wireless Access Control, Intrusion Detection/Prevention, Content Filtering and Anti-Virus.
It is not a glorified rule creator. It is a completely different approach to managing network security. The administrator describes the security environment in highly abstract, business oriented terms through a powerful GUI. The system then analyzes the environment and creates and coordinates the configuration of all the subsystems (firewall, VPN, routing, etc.) to produce the environment.
ISCS uses a three tiered, concurrent use architecture - the SPM ( Security Policy Manager - the GUI console), the DBD (DataBase Distributor - houses the database and coordinates all changes) and the PEP (Policy Enforcement Point).
ISCS is vendor neutral. Any gateway vendor can integrate their product into the ISCS management schema to make their product more manageable and valuable to large clients.
This is an ideal project for manufacturers of network security hardware, medium to large distributed organizations, governments, medium to large educational institutions, telecommunications carriers, Managed Service Providers.
