, Vice President of CrossTec's Security Division, "Activeworx SMC offers an affordable solution that provides unprecedented features for managing Snort[R] IDS events, such as customizable dashboards, detailed IDS reporting, interactive graphs, and event relationship diagrams." Activeworx SMC also boasts complete IDS policy management including Snort policy updates, and it gives you the ability to push new Snort policies to sensors from a central location plus numerous ways to view, analyze, and manage snort events.

Activeworx SMC integrates tightly with the Snort[R] IDS event database to provide high valued information from existing Snort[R] IDS installations, without modifying the original database schema. Activeworx SMC includes Activeworx IDS Policy Manager V2, which has been the de facto standard Hardware or software that is widely used, but not endorsed by a standards organization. Contrast with de jure standard.

The integration of IDS Policy Manager into a Snort Event Management solution not only provides the ability to view, correlate, and report on Snort events, but it adds seamless IDS rule management and deployment. Administrators now have the ability to quickly view, disable or set suppression for a single rule on a single sensor, or to deploy a rule change to all Snort sensors, while viewing information about an event that is currently triggering, all within the same console view. IDS Policy Manager adds easy updates and deployment of Snort rules to the familiar Activeworx event management interface for more proactive management of all Snort[R] IDS installations.
