CODA footprint continuous security management platform

World wide data infrastructure has increased in dimension and complexity due to consolidation, centralization and virtualization trends during the last 10 years. The enlargement of cloud services from data centers, the possibility of connecting different types of devices (Internet of Things) and the policy of authorizing employees to bring personally owned mobile devices to their work sites to access sensitive company information (“bring you own device”) significantly increase daily challenges for cyber-security professionals. We propose a continuous security management platform, CODA Footprint, that audits an entire organization's critical services in real-time, analyzes whether the organization's critical services are adequately protected, and makes sure the information security defenses are effective 24/7.
