Incident Manager provides you with an automated means of identifying, managing, and responding to security incidents from a single management console. It reduces the cost of security management by providing standardized prioritization of security events, trackable response strategies, and incident status reporting and notification features. Incident Manager is seamlessly integrated with the Symantec Enterprise Security Architecture (SESA) to provide you with an open, standards-based foundation for managing security events from Symantec clients, gateways, servers, and Web servers. Incident Manager can also manage and respond to events that come from third-party security vendors.
