Presented by: McClain Marchman, Cisco Stealthwatch Advanced Services Network Consulting Engineer, Cisco Security Business Group
Abstract:
Reduce operator overhead, advance Stealthwatch optimization, and receive more accurate alarming on meaningful events? Yes, you can!
The Stealthwatch Host Group Automation (HGA) Service gives you a logical means of categorizing network assets for improved visibility and control. It enables the classification of your host groups from third-party data feeds so you can keep them synchronized with your network infrastructure.
McClain Marchman shows how you can use HGA to:
- Tackle dynamic server behavior that consistently changes IP addresses and configure Stealthwatch to apply policies to these automated, dynamic, host groups.
- Reduce excess consumption of your team’s resources by decreasing overall cost to operate Stealthwatch and by decreasing false positive alarms.
- Manage integrations proactively with authoritative IP data sources such as IPAMs, CMDBs, and threat feeds.
