Element and management provisioning is the primary UC security information management subsystem of the Avaya SBC solution. Element and management provisioning receives the variously formatted event and alarm reports from the different security components in the network. This system then stores, normalizes, aggregates and correlates the information into a comprehensive format that allows distributed attacks to be effectively detected and mitigated.

Element and management provisioning provides the following features:

• Collects event logs

• Propagates instructions to the Signaling entity for preventive actions

• Propagates alarms to network management systems

• Maintains caller Trust Scores, White Lists, and Black Lists

• Provides a master storage repository for callers and domains

• Maintains per-user, per-caller, and per-network element behavior models on a ToD and DoW basis
