Cyber Command & Control Center (C4)
"Cyber Command & Control Center (C4)" proactively monitors customer infrastructure for availability, security and performance in real time. Organizations increasingly find managing the complexities of growing systems and networks time- and resource-intensive. High cost of operations coupled with a lack of trained personnel presents a challenge in monitoring and managing the dynamic IT infrastructure environment. The need to seamlessly manage diverse technologies with a single-view dashboard to monitor system performance is critical for your enterprise.
Magellanix built an open-source-based C4 to reduce the cost of monitoring by up to 55% and offer wide options in availability, security and performance monitoring. Magellanix offers a balanced approach — compliance, pro-active and flexible delivery models to customers across the globe. The service offerings are bundled to take care of all security operations in a customer's infrastructure environment.

Threat table
| Threat | Description |
|---|---|
| Bot-network operators | Hackers who take over multiple systems to coordinate attacks and distribute phishing schemes, spam, and malware. Their services are sometimes available in underground markets (denial-of-service, spam relays, phishing, etc.). |
| Criminal groups | Seek to attack systems for monetary gain — using spam, phishing, and spyware/malware for identity theft and online fraud. Also pose a threat through industrial espionage and large-scale monetary theft. |
| Foreign intelligence services | Use cyber tools for information-gathering and espionage. Several nations are developing information-warfare doctrine, programs, and capabilities that could disrupt supply, communications, and economic infrastructures. |
| Hackers | Break into networks for the thrill or bragging rights. Attack tools have become more sophisticated yet easier to use. The worldwide population of hackers poses a relatively high threat of an isolated or brief disruption causing serious damage. |
| Insiders | A principal source of computer crime. Insiders may not need deep intrusion knowledge — their knowledge of a target system often allows unrestricted access to cause damage or steal data. Includes outsourcing vendors and employees who accidentally introduce malware. |
| Phishers | Individuals or small groups who execute phishing schemes to steal identities or information for monetary gain, possibly using spam and spyware/malware. |
| Spammers | Distribute unsolicited email with hidden or false information to sell products, conduct phishing schemes, distribute spyware/malware, or attack organizations (denial of service). |
| Spyware/malware authors | Produce and distribute spyware and malware. Destructive viruses and worms include Melissa, Explore.Zip, CIH (Chernobyl), Nimda, Code Red, Slammer, and Blaster. |
| Terrorists | Seek to destroy, incapacitate, or exploit critical infrastructures to threaten national security, cause mass casualties, weaken economies, and damage public morale — possibly using phishing or spyware/malware. |
