Integrated EMC Voyence(R)Control and RSA enVision(R) Solution Delivers
Unique Capabilities for Compliance, Risk Management and Cost Control
SAN FRANCISCO, April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA(R) Conference 2008 --
EMC (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions,
today announced the availability of a new integrated solution aimed at
bridging the IT and security operations functions in support of improved
compliance, risk management and cost control. The solution is based on
EMC's Voyence(R)Control product for Network Change and Configuration
Management (NCCM) and the RSA enVision(R) product for Security Information
and Event Management (SIEM).
For the IT operations professional, this solution is designed to
provide the means to define and enforce configuration security standards
and to automatically conduct compliance tests on a regular basis.
Successfully automating these policies along with standardized network
configuration management ensures data is available and secure would
eliminate business risk from non-compliant devices. This would result in
fewer service outages and reduced costs associated with Service Level
Agreement (SLA) penalties and trouble ticket processing.
For the security operations professional, the solution is engineered to
provide three major benefits: 1) ensuring that network assets are
configured to reliably forward all log events to enVision (this is a
cornerstone of compliance reporting using SIEM solutions); 2) immediately
detecting changes to network asset configurations and sending such changes
to enVision to evaluate potential security risks associated with those
changes; and 3) for those changes deemed inappropriate invoke a
workflow-enabled process, closing the loop and remediating the
configuration to a secure and compliant state and actively configuring the
device as required.
"Whether you're looking at it from an IT operations or security
operations perspective, today's announcement is really a win-win for all
our customers," said Chris Gahagan, EMC's Senior Vice President, Resource
Management Software. "For both audiences, the integrated solution addresses
the shared challenge of cost-effective IT service delivery. This includes
ensuring the flow of necessary information between disparate work teams and
the availability of expanded information to quickly drive reliable
decision-making."
John Worrall, Vice President and General Manager of RSA's Information &
Event Management Group said, "With the blizzard of log events in a customer
enterprise, security vulnerabilities that arise from misconfigured IT
systems are difficult to detect and remediate. This integrated solution is
designed to give IT operations and security operations teams a more
complete and efficient way to demonstrate compliance and manage security
risks."
The joint solution is being exhibited exclusively at the RSA Conference
2008 in San Francisco. RSA's information risk management solutions,
services and partners will be featured in Booths #1717 and 1817 at RSA
Conference 2008, April 7-11, 2008, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
