Leading Security Event Will Be Forum for First Public Demonstration Of
ArcSight 3.0
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- ArcSight, the leading provider
of enterprise security management software, today announced that it will
provide an advance public demonstration of ArcSight 3.0 at the RSA Conference
2004. ArcSight extends the traditional reach of security management beyond
purely technical issues into the core business mission with Enterprise
Impact(TM), which converts technical data on security threats into
business-relevant intelligence that both security groups and business managers
can easily understand and act on to prevent the loss of crucial business
assets. In addition, it provides enterprise customers with reduced time to
response, cost-efficient long-term archiving and compliance-based security
intelligence.
RSA 2004, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from February
23 - 27, is the leading electronic/data security conference worldwide.
ArcSight 3.0 will be demonstrated at Booth 1515.
"With ArcSight 3.0, we not only extend our lead in providing solutions for
the security organization, but also expand security management into the
overall corporate mission," said Robert Shaw, Chairman and CEO of ArcSight.
"This expansion puts enterprise security management squarely on track to not
only better protect mission-critical assets, but also enable large
organizations to establish a well-understood, well-documented security posture
required to comply with laws and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA,
Graham-Leach-Bliley and FISMA."
About ArcSight 3.0
ArcSight offers a suite of software solutions designed to bridge the
enterprise security gap and deliver the protection and productivity that large
organizations require from their security investments. The ArcSight
architecture is comprised of a data collection and storage system to
consolidate network-wide alarms and alerts and a display and report function
to manage the results. ArcSight 3.0 introduces new capabilities that address
both the security and business needs of large organizations in the areas of
total cost of ownership, ease of use, and protection:
-- Enterprise Impact(TM): Enterprise Impact connects security with the
overall business mission by leveraging the ArcSight Asset Inventory
System. Every asset under management can be categorized according to
the users of the system, type of information stored, and role in
specific business processes. Using this business taxonomy, everything
from customized correlation rules to real time dashboard displays and
scheduled reports can monitor, protect and audit compliance with
corporate policies and procedures as well as applicable laws and
regulations that drive security management best practices such as
HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and Graham-Leach-Bliley.
-- SmartStorage(TM) Archiving and Retrieval: SmartStorage, a key
component of ArcSight Security Lifecycle Information Management
(SLIM(TM)), supports large organizations that are building their
inventory of security data for investigative, audit and regulatory
purposes. It allows organizations to control the potentially high cost
of storing and managing information over a long period of time. With
user-selectable compression techniques and automatic, on-demand
retrieval into real time data repositories, significant reductions in
hardware costs can be achieved without introducing non-standard storage
products and complicated restoration procedures. SmartStorage reduces
the cost of long-term security event storage by as much as 20 to 1,
while ensuring that information is available on an on-demand basis for
audits, investigations and compliance reporting.
-- CounterACT Active Response: CounterACT significantly reduces the time
between attack detection and response through seamless integration with
configuration and policy compliance managers, such as CheckPoint OPSEC,
Cisco Network Access Control and SolSoft. Once ArcSight issues the
command to block a session or ports to stop an attack in progress,
these managers use their knowledge of device settings and topologies to
perform reconfigurations.
-- Real Time Analyst Collaboration (RTAC(TM)): As more enterprises
implement a Security Operations Center, the staff for real-time
monitoring may be located throughout the world. With RTAC, a group of
geographically dispersed security analysts can work together on
viewing, evaluating and triaging events as they pass through the system
through an extensive on-screen security annotation system that can mark
alarms and alerts based on their priority and severity. Analysts can
"own" events, assign them to other peers, reduce or elevate priority,
and annotate them. This informal and highly flexible workflow ensures
that all events have been accounted for, and facilitates handoffs
between shifts in a 24 x7 environment.
