Solsoft ChangeManager is the only vendor-neutral security management solution for the centralized high-level design, rule generation, auditing, and management of firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs, and IPS.

ChangeManager provides an elegant GUI to provide business policy control that spans across multiple vendor devices. ChangeManager can automatically calculate and implement individual network element instructions based upon decisions made at the business level.

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 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 that can represent complex policies. ChangeManager then 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. 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 conditions.

Improved Efficiency

Our customers estimate that ChangeManager reduces management time by more than 75%. By eliminating the tedious, 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

ChangeManager can be combined with a SIEM solution such as Exaprotect’s EventManager to provide suggested automatic remediation to real-time threats. ChangeManager ships with an open API that allows it to work as a vendor-neutral tool both with devices and event systems. Exaprotect also offers a software developers kit (SDK) for device manufacturers so their solutions ship ChangeManager-ready. Whatever your mix of preferred vendors, ChangeManager will always provide needed centralization and interoperability.
