Symantec Enterprise Security Manager™ enables organizations to define, measure, and report on the compliance of information systems against security policies, standards and government regulations —all from a single console. Plus, integration with LiveUpdate allows administrators to easily retrieve the latest security updates.

Through its extensive reporting capability, Symantec Enterprise Security Manager enables organizations to understand their level of security. Organizations can analyze compliance for the entire organization, down to the region or office level, or for a critical system. The solution also helps organizations identify security trends, and improve planning and prioritization.

Its seamless integration with the Symantec™ Security Management Solution allows organizations to correlate policy compliance data with security event data from a multitude of security sources, including firewalls, intrusion detection and antivirus systems, and vulnerability assessment products. This helps organizations maximize the value of their investments in existing security products and improve their overall security posture. And, the central logging, alerting, and reporting functions of the Symantec™ Security Management Solution can be combined with the correlation, risk prioritization, and management capabilities of Symantec™ Security Information Manager to build a holistic, proactive security system. This enables organizations to respond rapidly to incidents, contain and eradicate threats faster, and utilize the full potential of their security investments.
