New offerings scale to meet varying needs of enterprises; software upgrades
allow end users to quickly create customized analysis rules, support all major
device vendors
SAN JOSE, Calif., RSA 2006, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- High Tower(R), a
leading developer of network security solutions, today announced a significant
expansion to its product line, enabling mid-sized and large enterprises to
confidently choose from a full range of security event manager (SEM)
appliances designed to meet their specific needs.
The announcement was made at the annual RSA Security Conference, being
held here in San Jose, where High Tower is an exhibitor (booth #2225).
High Tower's 3200 family of SEM appliances are designed to meet the
requirements of a wide range of companies, giving them the ability to
confidently monitor and correlate network traffic across the full spectrum of
devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, intrusion prevention and
detection systems and more. High Tower's SEM appliances make it possible for
security analysts to recognize malicious behavior and anomalies in network
traffic patterns in real-time. Centralized correlation, combined with High
Tower's powerful MetaRules(TM), expedite attack discovery across disparate
locations, enabling customers to take action quickly to minimize or even avoid
negative impact to the network.
The newly introduced SEM appliances include the High Tower SEM 3205, which
easily handles up to 6,000 correlated events per second, and the High Tower
3220, designed for Fortune 500-size enterprises, that can handle 20,000
correlated events every second. The '3205 and '3220 join High Tower's SEM
3210, which was honored last month with Frost & Sullivan's "Best Bang for the
Buck" award.
"Our research indicates that many of the solutions currently available in
the marketplace do not adequately satisfy customer requirements," said Eric
Ogren, security analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, based in Milford, Mass.
"The market is therefore wide open for vendors who can deliver on their
promises and demonstrate real value. Security Event Management is growing in
importance; High Tower's family of SEM appliances is designed to give
companies of different sizes the ability to perform the rapid analysis of high
volumes of data needed to effectively defend their networks."
Each High Tower SEM appliance also supports devices from all of today's
leading vendors, including Check Point, Cisco, ISS, McAfee, Symantec, and
more.
"The increasing influence that regulatory mandates now have on information
security purchases makes it important to deliver solutions that address both
the security and business needs of an organization," said Gene Schultz, CISSP,
High Tower's Chief Technology Officer and author of five books on information
security. "High Tower's family of SEM appliances provides companies with a
range of products that deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions for
real-time threat management, as well as addressing the complex information
security components of regulatory and standards initiatives."
Suggested pricing for the newly introduced appliances begins at less than
$35,000. More information about the full line of High Tower security event
manager appliances is available by calling 877-448-6937.
