Wireless Intrusion Detection System: Protects the network from wireless threats, by detecting rogue

wireless devices including high severity threats such as customers SSID and Wired Rogues.

Network Visibility: Network tools capture and consolidate crucial information about RF spectrum,

sources of RF interference, and devices and users on the network. The customer can access this

information via the online portal.

Wireless Event Notification to Spark Digital Operations: High severity wireless events are notified

to Spark Digital Operations for initial analysis to determine the approximate location of the threat and

advise the customer.

Wireless Rogue and Rogue on Wire Detection: Where wireless rogues are detected, we can

identify the physical port the rogue is connected to (subject to the port being on a device being

managed with GMS Network LAN Premium)

Wireless Rogue Reporting: Visibility of predefined reports of how the wireless network is being used.

Emailed Reporting: Daily and weekly reports emailed for lower severity wireless rogues.

RF Heatmaps: Radio Frequency (RF) models in relation to floor plans for customers Access Points

and Wireless Rogues.

Network Discovery and Mapping: The Spark Digital management system automatically discovers

devices within the customer’s network topology and stores details of these in the central repository for

inclusion in reports presented via a customer reporting portal.

Availability Monitoring: The management system monitors each device for its “up/down” status.

Details are stored in the central repository and used to generate summary reports.

Performance Monitoring: The management system monitors performance levels relevant to different

classes of device. Details are stored in the central repository and used to generate summary reports.

Device Inventory Reporting: An inventory of devices that are managed in the network are accessible

in online reports along with details of location as defined in management systems.

Event Notification to Spark Digital Operations: The management system detects abnormal events

(e.g. device down) and generates an alert to Spark Digital Operations to initiate diagnose and incident

resolution.

Performance Reporting: Details of performance statistics captured for devices are available in the

portal.

Capacity Reporting: Details of device capacity statistics captured for devices are available in the

portal.

Incident Management: Spark Digital investigates the cause of an incident that it has been advised of,

via either an automated event notification or via a customer logging an incident with the Service Desk.

Customers will also be emailed incident notifications for severity 1 and severity 2 incidents, where they

have opted to select notification of events.

Problem Management: Where reoccurring or multiple related incidents have taken place, Spark

Digital performs analysis of the cause and makes recommendations on steps that can be taken to

prevent future occurrences or reduce the impact of a future occurrence.

Automated Configuration Backup: The management system stores a backup of device

configuration in the central repository. The customer may request a copy of the backup through the

Service Desk.

Configuration Deployment: Spark Digital manages the implementation and deployment of changes

to device configuration requested by the customer.

Service Request Fulfilment: Spark Digital provides a service desk that responds to customer

requests for move/add/change functions.

3.3 Incident Priority Matrix

Incident priority is determined from a combination of Impact and Urgency, as described below. Impact

is the effect of the Incident on the client’s business, measured by the number of the client’s users and

the extent of the Client’s ICT Infrastructure that is affected. Urgency indicates the speed of action

required, the degree to which the business can bear a delay in resolution and the availability of a

Workaround or Fix. Priority considers impact and urgency to ensure available resources are applied

effectively according to business rules and Service Levels.

Impact Description

Enterprise Impact to all users at multiple client sites

Impact to a critical site, system or service

Site/Dept. Impact to all users at a single client site

Impact to all users in one department

Multiple Users Impact to multiple users at several sites

Impact to multiple users at one site

One User Impact to a single user

Impact occurred once only

Urgency Description
