Integrated Secure Communications System

The latest public version of the Integrated Secure Communications System, or shortly ISCS, version 0.5, was released according to http://iscs.sourceforge.net/. circa April 2013. ISCS integrates several functionalities into a single suite of administration and management user interface. Being able to fully configure all your firewalls from a centralized point using a single GUI, including VPN's, VLAN's, Tunnels, sysctl's, et cetera, is a goal of this package.

The main attack angle that the developer(s) of ISCS has, is to simplify management and administration and to remove tedious work for the administrators, so to save as many work hours as possible for them. This is done by putting together policies, and then the programs create the rulesets and "pushes" them out to the "enforcements points" (e.g., firewalls, proxies, et cetera). The administrator doesn't actually "write" or "click" together the rulesets, just simply put together policies that are then enforced by ISCS.
