Pharos Features

Status Screens can be used to show geographic regions.

Pharos provides organisations with the only Cyber Security Situational Awareness (CyberSSA) platform for all of their IT and Security reporting needs. A three step process of Collect, Analyse and Visualise enables data collection from disparate information sources, analysis of customer defined thresholds (SLA and KPI/KRI) and a visualisation through a single interface.

Pharos' flexible architecture allows you to monitor your infrastructure quickly and easily, from anywhere in the world, providing faster decision making and benchmarking for your organisation.

Executive Level Dashboards

Pharos utilises Status Screens for quick viewing of data

To achieve CyberSSA in practice, it is essential to display vast quantities of data in a simplified format so that it is quickly understood by those in charge. A major feature of Pharos is it's fully-customisable front-end Executive Level Dashboard views, which provide this functionality.

Big Data Visualisation

Status Screens can be used to show scan overviews.

At PragmaticDefence we understand that a universal CyberSSA platform should be flexible enough to be able to handle almost any type of input. This way the platform can provide the best possible view to enable decision making within the business. The emergence of Big Data provides an interesting twist this. We contend however that it is not so much the Big Data, but more the Good Data that the CISO should be concerned with. That's why with using Pharos and its collector framework we can easily identify that data that matters and visualise this in a way that means something to the end user.

This is why Pharos utilises a database abstraction layer in order to receive input from just about any possible source. Pharos is therefore able to handle databases in MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, Access, PostgreSQL and many more.

Geographic data sources can also be utilised to create geographic maps and plots to provide a true cyber security situational awareness solution.

Expandable Collector Agent Framework

Status Screens can be used to show SLA ratings.

At present, Pharos has a library of Pharos Collector Agents which are easily installed and can collect data from a vast source of anti-virus products, IDS, system logs and much more.

Bespoke Pharos Collector Agents can be developed upon request, or alternatively, classes can be given by trained Pharos instructors to teach users how to develop their own.

Cloud SLA Reporting

The amount of data Pharos can show is vast

Pharos has been developed with the cloud in mind. Businesses that do not wish to manage a locally installed Pharos solution may opt for a cloud-based solution instead. This means that cost savings are achieved as hardware and maintenance costs are reduced.
