Rockwell unveils enhanced MaxView monitor and control software

Rockwell Collins has introduced an enhanced version of its monitor and control software, MaxView Enhanced Security, to manage both military and commercial networks.

Featuring improved security attributes, the new MaxView Enhanced Security enables users to manage local and remote networks, automate complex service tasks and unify management of disparate systems into one view.

Rockwell said Collins Communication and Navigation Products vice president and general manager Bob Haag said network security concerns were increasing in government and commercial environments.

"Customers cannot risk vulnerabilities and compromises affecting network availability, electronic communications and business transactions," Haag added.

MaxView also features modular framework and intuitive user interface to enable local and remote network management and is currently deployed on more than 600 systems in 40 countries.

Capable of reducing operational complexity, training and support costs, the system also assists customers to identify and solve problems prior to their impact on businesses.

The additional security attributes of the latest monitor and software release complies with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) for the government network environments.

The STIG will ensure secure configurations such as operating systems, network devices including routers and firewalls, and both enterprise and desktop applications for many federal agencies and military branches.
