Benefits
• NetOps Benefits
• Easy to use - full function EOC user interface with high side drill down.
• Increased cyber situational awareness - resulting in faster issue
identification, analysis, response and resolution.
• Improved IT efficiency - by reducing the number of different displays and
applications required to monitor multiple networks and multiple domains.
• Highly Secure – use of certified data guards and transferring only highly
constrained XML low-to-high.
• Other Benefits
• Simplified Certification – use of certified data guards (existing or selected
to best meet operational needs). Sentinel installs as a PL2 application in
each domain. Low to high XML flow only.
• Low TCO, COTS Solution – eliminates the cost, time and risks associated
with custom solution development.
• Flexibility – new capabilities can be rapidly developed, certified and
deployed.

• IT Service Management / Help Desk Integration – Sentinel can
create trouble tickets on any domain based on rules and policies
tied to events, alerts and other IT information.
• Custom Cross Domain Reporting - Sentinel can gather additional
information and create customized multi domain reports.
• Guard monitoring - Sentinel can provide information to the high
side Orion server to monitor the health of the data guard.
