1.1 About Sentinel Control Center
Sentinel
TM
is a Security Information and Event Management solution that receives information from
many sources throughout an enterprise, standardizes it, prioritizes it and presents it to you to make
threat, risk and policy related decisions. The Sentinel Control Center (SCC) is the main user
interface for viewing and interacting with this data.
Sentinel gathers and correlates security and non-security information from across an organization's
networked infrastructure, as well as third-party systems, devices and applications. Sentinel presents
the collected data in a more sensible GUI, identifies security or compliance issues, and tracks
remediation activities, streamlining previously error-prone processes and building a more rigorous
and secure management program.
The Sentinel Control Center includes the following functional tabs and interfaces:
