Next-Generation SEM Appliance Lets Enterprises Automate, Simplify Security Event Management; Delivers Superior Performance
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Oct. 4 /-- High Tower(R) Software Inc., a leading developer of network security solutions, today announced the availability of the High Tower Security Event Manager (SEM) 3210 appliance; combining an easy-to-deploy architecture, intuitive user interface, and superior processing and analytic capabilities.
The powerful performance of High Tower's SEM 3210 appliance enables enterprise-level security managers to quickly identify, prioritize, and respond to attacks against their systems and computer networks in real-time. At the same time, it provides an easy-to-deploy, automated system that simplifies the entire security threat management process for companies. The SEM 3210 can be deployed in only a few hours and immediately slashes the time-consuming process of manually reviewing log files from various security devices, allowing network security personnel more time to protect their networks by requiring less administration.
"Companies of all sizes no longer have the luxury of leisurely analyzing web traffic. They are habitually understaffed, overburdened, and the amount of traffic continues to scale upwards dramatically," said Matthew Kovar, CFA, Principal at the Security Matrix Group. "They need a security event manager capable of handling the largest loads and quickly delivering accurate notification that is actionable when a security threat is spotted. High Tower's SEM 3210 is designed with these goals in mind, helping enterprises detect and swiftly respond to threats against their networks and safeguarding the mission critical data contained on them."
New features in the High Tower SEM 3210 include:
-- Closed-loop system. High Tower's exclusive SEM software allows users to create incident cases to more effectively track and manage each threat, from initial discovery through remediation.
-- Intuitive user interface. The all-new user interface is designed for ease-of-use, providing a central console through which users can easily monitor real-time threats, access detailed information, and quickly initiate incident response.
-- Intelligent MetaRules. Advanced processing analytics, which work like expert intrusion analysts think, allow for real-time identification of attacks.
-- Scalability. The High Tower SEM 3210 is a rack-mountable appliance; it has a unique architecture that supports high volume data streams (up to 12,000 sustained events per second). The SEM 3210 accommodates a wide range of networks without the need for additional equipment.
The need to integrate and correlate security event data is critical to all organizations. However, the growing volume of attacks and the complexity of security infrastructures are making that task much more burdensome." said Gene Schultz, CISSP, CISM, High Tower's Chief Technology Officer. "By automating the process, the High Tower Security Event Manager improves an organization's ability to quickly detect and mitigate security-related breaches; thereby greatly reducing risk, and enabling greater efficiency in the face of limited security staff and resources."
Information security personnel are under more stress than ever, due to the increased volume and greater sophistication of attacks against enterprise networks, as well as the increasing complexity of the enterprise security infrastructure. The SEM 3210 eases their workload, even as it helps them elevate the role of sound business process management in day-to-day security operations.
High Tower's SEM 3210 appliance is available by calling 800-448-6937. Pricing for a complete solution begins at $60,000.
