Data collection, security analysis, and threat detection are centralized in the LevelBlue Secure Cloud and provide you with a single view into all of your critical infrastructure. USM Anywhere consists of a modular, scalable, two-tier architecture to manage and monitor every aspect of cloud security. Software sensors collect and normalize data from all of your on-premises and cloud environments, while USM Anywhere provides centralized cloud security management, analysis, correlation, detection, alerting, log management, and reporting. Purpose-built USM Anywhere Sensors deploy natively into each environment and help you gain visibility into all of your on-premises and cloud environments. These sensors collect and normalize logs, monitor networks, and collect information about the environments and assets deployed in your hybrid environments.
