Description

Observer Management Server (OMS) was developed to meet the demanding needs of IT teams that have deployed Observer. The streamlined UI features simple navigation to easily authenticate, control user access and passwords, administer upgrades, and streamline management from a single, centralized location. Ideal for today’s stringent compliance directives, OMS manages an extensive menu of essential Observer monitoring tasks and enables their delegation based on IT roles and responsibilities. Enterprise-wide authentication, authorization, and auditing (AAA) has never been easier. OMS is the key to securing your Observer environment.

What can you do more efficiently with OMS?

• Authenticate IT staff for Observer from one central location
• Integrate with third-party authentication servers including AD, RADIUS, TACACS+, and more
• Authorize user access according to clearance credentials or asset group
• Audit user access and activity related to company-sensitive data
• Manage user passwords and permissions
• Define access rights by user, user group, or asset group
• Automatically license new Observer components
• Easily and efficiently administer software upgrades
• Share custom filters and application definitions

Key Features

Manage Observer Authentication, Authorization, Auditing & Accounting

Observer Management Server (OMS) provides role-based permissions to control user access of Observer assets via an internally managed list or using third-party integration with technologies like RADIUS, Active Directory, and TACACS+. Once assets are accessed, it monitors, audits, and records user credentials along with activity history ensuring only legitimate use and regulatory compliance.

Observer Version Management and Centralized License Distribution

OMS version control simplifies upgrades and downgrades for all Observer assets. New software releases or license refreshes can be controlled and rolled out from a centralized point with total supervisory visibility, automatically or via a defined scheduling process with no disruption to monitoring capabilities.

Third Party Integration

The OMS RESTful API enables the integration of third-party solution workflows like Manager of Manager and SIEMs making the sharing of OMS access and audit information simple.

Fault Tolerate Deployment

Optional redundant OMS appliances increase performance monitoring robustness, ensuring if connectivity between Observer assets is interrupted an alternate path remains to maintain visibility.

Centralized Analysis Definition Library & Security

Sharing common analysis filters and protocol definitions standardizes the monitoring process and achieves consistency across IT teams with the added benefit of eliminating the need to manually replicate efforts across the environment.

The OMS integrated, multi-vendor support for centralized hardware security modules (HSMs) effectively manages SSL keys for decryption to perform monitoring analysis without compromising compliance initiatives.
