Active Network Discovery Contributes to Rich Network Metadata

This paper will present a case study of Lumeta’s participation in an open standards group, The Trusted Computing Group and adoption and support of the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) standard. Open standards‐based security integrations offer a single source of knowledge about the network; the ability to derive more value from best‐in‐class security tools already deployed; and a means to accommodate the rapid pace of change in today’s dynamic and distributed enterprise network environments. This RFI response will discuss the benefits of open standards technologies for integration from Lumeta’s perspective as a vendor, taking a close look at the TNC such standard technology. We’ll also examine a working example of an IF‐MAP implementation, showcasing the increased value active network discovery data contributes to integrated network security metadata.
