PathSolutions TotalView: Revolutionizing Security Operations Management

As a seasoned network and security professional, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with Tim Titus, Founder and CTO of PathSolutions, to discuss the latest releases within their portfolio. With a focus on practical and pragmatic discussions of enterprise technology, security, cloud, networking, storage, wireless, virtualization, consumer, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, I was particularly interested in exploring the new features and capabilities of PathSolutions TotalView.

Before delving into the details of the new Security Operations Manager functions, I would like to highlight some of my favorite pieces of TotalView. The tool includes a range of features that are often overlooked in many networking houses, but are incredibly useful. For example, the “Financials” view provides a comprehensive breakdown of operational expenses and savings, which can help organizations optimize their budget and resources. Additionally, the tool includes a wide range of features such as network mapping, device inventory, vulnerability scanning, and remediation.

Now, let’s dive into the new features of TotalView that are specifically designed to revolutionize security operations management. The first area I would like to focus on is CVE to device correlation. This feature enables organizations to quickly identify devices on their network that have known vulnerabilities, and take action to remediate them before they can be exploited by attackers. This is a huge improvement over traditional vulnerability scanning methods, which often require manual effort and multiple tools to achieve the same result.

Another exciting feature of TotalView is the new “Exposures” functionality. This feature provides visibility into vulnerabilities in various protocols such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SNMP, ARP, IP, RLOGIN, DNS, NTP, and SMTP. These exposures can often go overlooked for years, but they can result in serious security vulnerabilities or exposures that can be difficult to troubleshoot. With TotalView, organizations can now quickly identify and remediate these issues before they become a problem.

To illustrate the power of these new features, Tim Titus provided two demonstrations of the tool in action. The first demo showed how TotalView can quickly identify devices on a network with known vulnerabilities, and provide recommendations for remediation. The second demo demonstrated how the tool can be used to identify exposures in various protocols, and provide recommendations for mitigation. Both demos were conducted under interrogation and live-fire by the Security Delegates represented at the Security Field Day 3 event.

In conclusion, PathSolutions TotalView is a powerful tool that can revolutionize security operations management. With its comprehensive set of features, including CVE to device correlation and exposure functionality, organizations can now quickly identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. I highly recommend checking out the two videos below to see the tool in action, and exploring the PathSolutions website for more information on how TotalView can benefit your organization.
