The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a framework of best practice approaches intended to facilitate the delivery of high quality IT services. Numerous organizations establish their security policies on this framework. As part of the process of creating a secure environment, they also need a complete view of the network in order to assure that their security policies and network defenses are aligned.

Lumeta’s IPsonar provides organizations with the operational data necessary to establish Network Assurance programs that align network defenses with implemented policy based on a complete set of network facts. With this, IPsonar helps organizations establish a foundation for demonstrable alignment to ITIL in the areas of network connectivity and network defense configuration.

ITIL security compliance components align with ISO17799 requirements such as:

• Establish a comprehensive information security policy
  Understand what assets you have to protect by using a complete set of network facts to discover all of your assets and the defense configuration of the network.
• Protect computer networks
  Adapt your infrastructure by creating a network baseline to drive risk out of migration projects and ensure the deployment of a secure network.
• Control access to network services
  Handle ongoing risk management by visualizing how changes in the infrastructure may create misalignment between policies and defenses.
• Carry out controlled information system audits
  Audit your overall security process with a network risk scorecard and take corrective action to continuously improve your organization’s security posture.
