CORTEX allows users to define and implement a series of compliance checks for various devices within a network. Users can specify the nature of these compliance checks and schedule them to run at predetermined intervals. This scheduling feature ensures that devices are consistently monitored and evaluated against compliance standards.
Once the compliance checks are defined and scheduled, CORTEX executes them against the identified devices according to the set timetable. To facilitate accurate and thorough compliance checks, it interrogates Inventory systems, gathering necessary data pertinent to each check. This integration with Inventory systems is key to ensuring that the checks are comprehensive and reflective of the current state of the devices.
CORTEX determines whether the device has passed or failed the compliance standards after each check. In instances where a device fails a compliance check, CORTEX responds proactively. It either creates a new Trouble Ticket or updates an existing one, initiating a process to address the identified issue. Additionally, CORTEX can apply an approved auto-correction to the non-compliant device, further streamlining the resolution process.
Furthermore, CORTEX updates the Inventory systems to reflect the actual configuration of the devices post-compliance check, ensuring that records remain accurate and up-to-date. Throughout this process, CORTEX maintains a high level of communication by issuing progress notifications to internal teams and external recipients at key stages.
Regularly validating systems and data is fundamental for maintaining a robust and efficient network infrastructure. This process encompasses a range of critical activities that contribute to the overall health and performance of the network. Inventory reconciliation is one such activity, where network assets are regularly checked and updated to ensure that records accurately reflect the current state of the network. This step is vital for both operational efficiency and security.
Routine maintenance activities play a crucial role in this validation process. Tasks like log archiving, managing disk space, and conducting regular system restarts are essential for running the network smoothly. These maintenance activities help prevent potential issues related to system performance and data integrity.
A key aspect of system validation involves ensuring the network configuration aligns with various external and internal standards. This includes compliance with regulatory requirements, adherence to business and technical policies, and alignment with vendor guidelines. Such validation ensures that the network functions optimally and meets all necessary compliance and policy standards.
Resource compliance works in tandem with the service assurance line, ensuring the regular validation of systems resusing this concept and saving on time and expense.
