Information Security Management Handbook

Abstract

Integrated threat management (ITM) is the evolution of stand-alone security products into a single, unifi ed solution that is generally cheaper and easier to implement and maintain. Combine a single console for management, updates, reports, and metrics, and you will wonder why you do not have one at home too. T is chapter will introduce what an ITM solution is, the benefi ts and drawbacks of the solution, what to look for, and how to select a solution. Finally, the chapter will wrap up with some lessons learned to help avoid some of the common pitfalls and gaps in a typical ITM solution.
