BlueCat LiveAssurance

BlueCat LiveAssurance (formerly BlueCat Infrastructure Assurance, or BCIA) is a proactive observability and automation solution that helps prevent network disruption before it happens. Think of it as a virtual network expert, on duty 24/7 — but its reach now extends beyond DDI: LiveAssurance protects core network services like BlueCat Integrity (including Address Manager and BDDS components), as well as firewalls and load balancers from a wide range of vendors. LiveAssurance works in three stages.
