Elemental provides the world's first policy and risk management
solution that aligns security operations with business objectives

Security professionals increasingly find themselves charged with achieving a wide range of business-based IT goals—everything from ensuring business continuity to becoming SOX or HIPAA compliant. Their biggest challenge lies in bridging the gap between broadly defined objectives such as these and actual security states on the hundreds or thousands of elements that comprise their networks.

At the core of the Elemental approach is the Elemental Policy Engine (EPE™). It furnishes the power and operational efficiencies of repeatable processes IT security management needs to manage risk, network complexity and compliance pressures with limited resources. The EPE’s advanced automation capabilities enable organizations to easily and cost-effectively express, implement, and remediate a broad spectrum of security policies to address security requirements, regulatory compliance, and business risk. These capabilities simplify and enhance all critical aspects of implementing security policies and managing compliance and risk, including:

  • Unified Policy Framework enables enterprises to manage their security and compliance projects as a unified, comprehensive and continuous process
  • Continuous Automation simplifies the definition, expression implementation, monitoring, and remediation of policies
  • Risk Agility helps organizations apply resources where needed most through the discovery and valuation of individual machines

The Elemental solution empowers organizations to easily translate business objectives into security policies for every system—even in the constantly changing environment that typifies an enterprise network. It allows administrators to measure, monitor, and enforce these desired security states, manage the level of risk, and unify their security and compliance management initiatives using a single platform. The ESP provides the comprehensive reporting capabilities that enable security and compliance managers to effectively bridge the communication gaps that result from the separation of duties and responsibilities, while also providing business-aligned security metrics that inform business managers and organizational leaders of the security and risk posture of their information systems. As a result, enterprises can for the first time obtain meaningful metrics, measurably improve their security, manage their risk, and satisfy compliance requirements using a single product—the Elemental Security Platform (ESP) .
