Original Press Release:
New Release of Intellitactics Security Manager Features Security Know How
Customers Get Quick Start on ROI
Daily automated value simplifies information security to comply with regulatory standards
RESTON, Va., May 14 -- Intellitactics' latest release of Intellitactics Security Manager meets the needs of a growing number of companies seeking fast results from an investment in security information and event management (SIEM). With this release, Intellitactics adds more capability for speedy implementation and simplified use so that more companies can enjoy the benefits to be reaped from effective compliance combined with proactive event management. Security Manager is a single source of security information: logs from any number of devices, millions of events transformed into high-priority alerts, incident investigations, and comprehensive reports provide daily automated value to any organization.
The companies that are getting impressive returns on their compliance investments are the companies and federal agencies, like our customers, that had a vision that included more than logging. Their vision included real-time event management and alerting. They've extracted more value from their investments in IDS, IPS, and other types of security products and strengthened security across the board," explains Pamela Casale, Chief Marketing Officer of Intellitactics, referring to Intellitactics' customers. "Unfortunately, preoccupation with logs, reports from them, and searches of them don't put companies in control of risk. Our customers are detecting threats sooner, accelerating investigation, and taking action - working on compliance everyday - not just preparing for the obligatory audit. With every product release we're moving the obstacles out of the way to further simplify implementing a SIEM so that more companies can achieve these results."
"Simplification doesn't have to leave products less effective," asserts Sunil Bhargava, Vice President of Product Management for Intellitactics. "We're taking care to not dilute the value while we make Security Manager simpler to implement and use. We're doing this by packing the product with security 'know how.' Automation and packaged 'know how' puts the secrets of successful companies into the hands of any organization. Security Manager gives all organizations the ability to adapt to change and grow. Security Manager is well-known for its ability to scale and adapt. This hasn't changed; what's changing for our customers is that any organization can expect to get this value without consideration for experience, budget, or size."
Highlights of Intellitactics Security Manager (v5.6)
MORE Reports: NEW graphical reports put usable information for detecting and isolating attacks at the fingertips of operators and analysts. From an anti-virus event, the user clicks to anti-virus activity reports that combine detail on top virus types, actions taken, update errors, and more in less time than it takes to search the logs. This type of automation expedites event management, even when event monitoring isn't a full-time job. Similarly, NEW investigative reports provide a productivity tool - reporting events by malware, activities by individual accounts, and host activity as source or target. NEW management reports combine operational activity summaries and trends to provide a concise snapshot of information to be used as decision support.
Enhanced Dynamic Lists: This ability to manage lists of malicious users, suspicious websites, or known attackers increases the effectiveness of monitoring, event analysis and correlation for alerting, and reporting.
Simplified Asset Configuration: Security Manager defines assets and asset groups using attributes that describe the relevance of an alert like network of origin, system criticality, business function, contact information, and so on. Defining assets in this way facilitates proactive alert management and accelerates incident response.
Enhanced log management: This capability bridges the gap in value between basic logging and real time event management. Security Manager's event management and compliance reporting is built on basic high-speed collection of logs (raw events) from any data source and centralized, secure, and compressed storage of all raw events for the purposes of audits, forensic investigation and legal defense. Now Security Manager's Event View is enhanced with the addition of the raw event message along side the fully parsed, normalized event; and provides a quick link to log searching and viewing.
