A lower implementation and maintenance of security infrastructure while at the same time an increased level of security is created through the integration of various solutions for the user as an essential added value. Thinking in island solutions has no future”, shows the strategic way macmon secure Managing Director Christian Bucker.

Because the solution uses Active interface on the asset information of relevant devices such as servers, core switches and firewalls, which anyway has the NAC system to protect of your network. The import of macmon makes a manually entering of the information required to INDART redundant to the infrastructure in the database. Because users can customise their security solutions significantly easier and more economical, a very important added value is created for them through this integration partnerships”, Christian Bucker explains the benefits.
