S-IMS

The Secure Integrated Management System (or short S-IMS) study and prototype development focussed on:

• Investigate Secure Remote Access to the Management environment, knowing that ESA external access shall be compliant with the ESA Security Policies
• Provide more value for the existing Operational Management environment
• Extend the Operational Management environment with Reporting and Historical Database capabilities
• Investigate Performance Monitoring as added value to Availability Monitoring
• Investigate Integrated Network, System and Application Management

The purpose of the developed prototype software is:

• Support distributed Management Application users
  • Network Operators
  • System Administrators
• Support Remote Maintenance
• Network devices
• Systems
• Solve 2 issues:
• Look for a commonly used application protocol
• Provide Secure Access to Remote users

The prototype development covers:

• Status Management
• Health Monitoring
• Performance Monitoring
• Configuration Management

The prototype development also included to build an SNMP Agent for Checkpoint FW-1 firewall software.

The SNMP Agent for Checkpoint FW-1 firewall software is based on the EMANATE technology.

The SNMP Agent for Checkpoint uses OPSEC LEA and CPMI.
