What's New in Sentinel 6

New Event Source Management Framework
Sentinel 6 includes an all-new Event Source Management framework that dramatically simplifies the deployment, management, and troubleshooting of the Sentinel system. New wizards simplify the process of connecting to new event sources, and an intuitive graphical system is provided for managing all aspects of the event collection process.

Next Generation iTRAC Incident Management Workflow System
The iTRAC Incident Management System in Sentinel 6 has been dramatically improved to provide for greater capability, performance, and flexibility. This revolutionary new tool allows customers to automate all aspects of their incident response process, from detection and analysis through resolution and auditing. Customers can now customize the incident response workflows to enforce the processes defined by their organization.

New Correlation Features and Language Constructs
Sentinel 6 correlation has been enhanced to enable the creation of more powerful, effective rules using a simple, intuitive wizard. New correlation rule types include nested rules, sequenced rules and cause/effect rules.

Correlation using Active Lists
The new Active Lists feature of Sentinel 6 allows correlation against targeted historical event data and important external data such as user watch lists. List elements can be added and removed either manually through the user interface or automatically using the correlation engine.

New Global Filter Options
Filters can now be created to send events to the data store only, to all Sentinel 6 components, or only to the Sentinel User Interface and Correlation Engine. This provides users with the option to analyze large amounts of data and store only the correlated events, avoiding the expense of storing large amounts of extraneous data.

Expanded Platform Support
Platform support has been expanded and now includes selected 64-bit operating systems, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, and Solaris 10, as well as database support for Oracle 10g, including Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). See the Sentinel Installation Guide for a complete list of supported platforms.

SSL Proxy Connection Option for Product Components
Sentinel 6 now allows communication between Sentinel components using an SSL Proxy, allowing Sentinel components to be placed in a remote network without the need to modify router and firewall settings.

Active Browser
The Sentinel 6 Active Browser allows users to quickly and accurately parse through a set of events to expose specific events and detect trends without the need to write SQL statements or create reports.

Additional Language Support
Sentinel 6 is localized in English, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, and Japanese. This additional language support allows customers the flexibility to deploy Sentinel 6 in local regions and markets that are important to their business and operations.
