The Cisco Security Agent Manager provides all management functions for all agents in a centralized manner. Its role-based, Web browser

“manage from anywhere” access makes it easy for administrators to create agent software-distribution packages, create or modify security

policies, monitor alerts, or generate reports. Because it ships with over 20 fully configured default policies, administrators will find it easy to

deploy thousands of agents across the enterprise. The manager also allows customers to deploy agents in “IDS Mode” where activity is alerted

but not blocked.

The manager offers simple but powerful customization capabilities such as a tuning wizard, allowing administrators to quickly fit default

policies to their environments. Administrators can easily modify rules or create new rules to meet custom needs and requirements. To aid

audit compliance requirements, an “Explain Rules” feature will print out a human-language description of what specified rules or policies do.

Agents are deployed to servers and desktops directly from the Cisco Security Agent Manager, and are controlled and updated from this

manager. Each agent operates autonomously. If communications with the manager is not possible (for example, if a remote laptop user has

not yet connected via the virtual private network [VPN]), the agent continues to enforce the security policy. All security alerts are cached by

the agent and uploaded to the manager when communications are restored.

During the OEM period, Cisco is including the Okena StormFront application with the Cisco Security Agent Manager as a promotion.

StormFront is a plug-in application for the Cisco Security Agent Manager that provides a comprehensive application analysis and policy

creation tool for custom applications and environments. StormFront analyzes actual application behavior to create custom policies allowing

customers to protect any application, even extremely complex ones that have been highly customized to an individual customer’s

environment.
