ICC - itWash Conrol Center
Monitoring and controlling by itWash data locks
The ICC (itWash Control Center) is a web-based application that allows all itWash instances to be centrally monitored, controlled, and managed. As an integral part of the itWash architecture, it provides a permanent overview, enables rapid response to security-related events, and facilitates user support.
- Continuous and transparent live monitoring of all lock activities via ONE tool
- Status and performance monitoring of individual instances within a lock
- Connection to SIEM systems and other security features such as alerting
- Visualization of system status via a traffic light system
- Central management of different types of security gates (centralized and decentralized)
- Assignment and transfer of security profiles
- Modification of security gate configurations even during operation
- Real-time reporting of status and operating messages
- Secure on-premise use without cloud connection
- Remote maintenance of security gate computers
The ICC covers several functional areas. Depending on requirements and type of use, service level, and multiclient capability, various functional areas are available on
different hardware components in various networks.
ICC functional areas
The ICC covers several functional areas. Depending on requirements and type of use, service level, and multiclient capability, various functional areas are available on diff erent hardware components in various networks.
The components can be operated virtually. A part of the comprehensive security concept is the definition of access control.
itWash-ICC/SV+U
(Software distribution and updates)
The ICC‘s software distribution component is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and restoring the operational readiness of the various itWash components (certifi cates, signatures, patches, etc.).
itWash-ICC/DC
(centrales reporting)
Central overview of all events, status messages and statistical analyses of all itWash systems in use.
itWash-ICC/VPN
(virtual private network)
Various VPN usage scenarios in management servers of
itWash are managed centrally:
- Integration of itWash into the customer‘s infrastructure
- Second VPN optional for remote maintenance access (depending on the SLA also from itWatch)
itWash-ICC/health status
Monitoring of the utilization of the available data lock modules.
Scalability
Scalability in multiple dimensions:
Costs: From a cost-effective, dedicated itWash system (all-in-one), to a multi-stage,
server-based system.
Security: The security level can be defi ned that no external data can perform attacks on
the target network
Performance: itWash can scale performance according to the desired throughput and runtime of individual tasks, thanks to its synchronized components and high degree of parallelism according to customer requirements – even in cloud operation. Components can be added on demand in real time, for example, as pre-built containers. Individual itWash components can be offloaded to separate hardware, for example, to separate longer-running washing processes.
