The Security MARS Global Controller appliance centralizes expansive security operations to provide a single view of the entire enterprise and to disseminate access privileges, configurations, updates, customized rules, and report templates, as well as to coordinate complex investigations with accelerated queries and reports that are processed locally.As the local Cisco Security MARS appliances execute queries and rules across the enterprise, the results are efficiently consolidated for rapid and centralized analysis at the system's Global Controller. This scalable architecture yields an additional level of distributed processing and storage. The result is more cost-effective deployment and greater manageability, which addresses the requirements of large and geographically dispersed organizations.
