Solsoft Change Manager is the only centralized, Intelligent Multivendor platform that streamlines the end to end Design and Generation of Network Security rules for Firewalls, Router, VPN, IPS’s.

Solsoft ChangeManager acts as a central Network Security Rule repository. Solsoft ChangeManager’s visual policy interface designs, generates, implements, tracks and audits your security rules for multi-vendor networks consisting of firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs and IPs. Our Topology or Tabular interface streamlines the change management process. Users can simply drag-and-drop a new Service across their network and Solsoft ChangeManager will translate this High Level, business policy change request into device-level instructions providing a simple, scalable model that can represent the most complex policies. Solsoft ChangeManager’s “Rules Engine” automatically optimizes, orders, inserts, checks rules for conflicts and applies these generated security configurations on the network devices effected by the rule change. Thus providing true end-to-end security rule design and auditing capability.

Policy Design

Solsoft ChangeManager provides a graphical, easy to understand, high-level policy based design interface to define, model and simulate your security rule configurations. This visual drag-and-drop business-oriented approach depicts business network policy at an abstract layer (e.g. Service per Service View).

Working with business and network-level rules, rather than specific device-level instructions, provides a simple, scalable model to represent complex policies. ChangeManager automatically recalculates optimal configurations across the network, generates the underlining complex low level, device specific commands, and provides true end-to-end optimization and security for all the policy enforcement points on the path.

Improved Security

ChangeManager generates rules followed by an explicit "Deny All" policy. It automatically updates anti-spoofing and clearly comments all changes.

ChangeManager acts a single repository for all security rule changes instead of maintaining change histories on each device ensuring consistent security policy throughout the network. End-to-end approved access policy is enforced by running scheduled comparisons to determine if the approved security network policy was altered via command line interface.

Faster Remediation

Changes to complex networks can be made in minutes – versus days or weeks-- whether one or thousands of device configurations need modification. By radically shortening your time to respond to threats or make operational changes, ChangeManager revolutionizes your ability to change security postures as needed – quickly moving to pre-defined or newly modified configurations as dictated by changing business conditions.

Improvement in Workforce Efficiency

Our customers estimate that ChangeManager reduces change management time by more than 75%. By eliminating the tedious, manual, time consuming, error-prone task of rule creation, ChangeManager frees you to develop your network according to your needs. Design, track, implement and audit changes more quickly. Smaller staffs can now manage much larger or more complex networks-- and any roadblocks to operating multi-vendor operations are largely removed.

Integration

When incorporated with a SIEM solution like Exaprotect’s LogManager or EventManager, ChangeManager responds in real-time to security threats, providing you instantly with potential remediation. ChangeManager has an open API so it can work as a vendor-neutral tool with both devices and event systems.  Exaprotext also offers a software developers kit (SDK) for device manufacturers so their solutions ship ChangeManager-ready.  ChangeManager’s flexibility provides you with centralization and interoperability whatever your preferred mix of vendors.
