Tycho Fruru writes, Conostix S.A. today announced the availability of the Open Source IPFC (Inter Protocol Flexible Control)
v1.0. IPFC v1.0 is a flexible software framework to manage, monitor
and control multiple devices in complex networked environments.

IPFC addresses the interoperability of heterogeneous corporate security infrastructures for:

  • Comprehensive entreprise infrastructure reporting
  • Through centralized secure logging and data correlation
  • Easier security operations
  • Securely outsourcing part or the global security infrastructure

    • IPFC is a software and framework to manage and monitor multiple types of security modules across a global network. Security modules can be as diverse as packet filters (like netfilter, pf, ipfw, IP Filter, checkpoint FW1…), NIDS (Snort, arpwatch…), webservers and other general devices (from servers to embedded devices).

    Another way to explain IPFC : It’s a complete generic Managed Security Services (MSS) software infrastructure.

    The main IPFC features are :

  • Centralized and unified logging of multiple devices (from server to firewall including special device)
  • Dynamic correlation of logs
  • Active evaluation of your security infrastructure
  • Unified policy and configuration management
  • Can be integrated into existing monitoring infrastructure
  • Auditable source code available (under GNU General Public License)
  • Scalability and Security of the framework
  • Easy extendable
