Optimizing and Automating Event Management to Support Incident Management
Opie has just arrived in the office and sat down to check his email. “Holy moly!” He yells out. He is looking at a massive influx of email messages in his Inbox from the Event Management tool, which was just configured to send out the alert notifications via email. “There’s no way the operations team will be able to respond to all those notifications in an efficient and timely manner. There has to be a better way to handle and address network events.”
NMS Security Architecture Considerations & Approaches
The purpose of this article is to provide some practical guidance on securing Network Management systems and associated infrastructure. While it can’t make any guarantees of absolutely protecting from similar attacks in the future, implementing these approaches can make the job of an adversary significantly harder. It will also propose techniques for increasing the probability of detecting breaches, which should be a significant consideration within any security solution.
This article cannot provide exhaustive coverage. However, it will focus on delivering actionable guidance that will have a tangible impact in strengthening the Network Management’s security posture (and potentially other) Systems.

Nextlink Takes Network Management to the Next Level with Opmantek
In 2019, Nextlink implemented solutions from Opmantek for its monitoring, management, data collection and other operational tasks across its network. One of the products Nextlink uses, an event manager that automates event handling through extendable policies that enrich, correlate, organize and manage all the events in Nextlink’s environment.
With opEvents, Nextlink can automate event diagnostics and leverage intelligent automation to remediate network events which has helped to streamline its workflow. Using process automation, opEvents, modelled by Nextlink’s troubleshooting procedure, automates the troubleshooting and remediation of events, reducing the mean time to resolution (MTTR) when faults occur.

Vulnerability Remediation Orchestration in Action
Vulnerability management programs exist first and foremost to drive desired business outcomes, and second to reduce business risk. But vulnerability management must be done right, and go beyond traditional expectations, to have the desired effect on the business.
Join Vulcan Cyber CEO, Yaniv Bar-Dayan, as he outlines the maturity model for vulnerability remediation designed to move security and IT operations teams from reactive to data-driven, and from orchestrated to transformed. Then Yaniv will provide a live demonstration of the Vulcan Cyber vulnerability remediation orchestration platform in action.
A Business Case for Vulnerability Remediation Orchestration
From the moment you scan for vulnerabilities, the rest of the remediation effort becomes tedious and manual. The growing scale and complexity of these programs has resulted in unbearable inefficiencies. Companies now spend an average of nearly 500 hours a week on vulnerability management with no guarantee of a remediation outcome. This white paper provides the details, the math and examples to help you build a business case for vulnerability remediation orchestration. It is time to get fix done.
Here’s what you’ll learn from this white paper:
- How to calculate the effectiveness and ROI of legacy vulnerability management programs.
