Original Press Release:
Secure Computing's Secure Firewall Reporter Delivers Central Monitoring and Reporting for Secure Firewall and Secure SnapGear Customers
Single monitoring and reporting solution for enterprise and branch office firewalls strengthens security, provides regulatory compliance and demonstrates ROI
April 14, 2008
Secure Computing Corporation (Nasdaq: SCUR), a leading enterprise gateway security company, has announced the availability of Secure Firewall Reporter (formerly SecurityReporter(TM)), a new security event management (SEM) reporting solution for both Secure Firewall (formerly known as Sidewinder®) and Secure SnapGear (formerly known as SnapGear®) appliances.
Secure Firewall Reporter software delivers central monitoring, correlated alerting and reporting of Secure Firewall and Secure SnapGear audit streams to identify real security threats from meaningless noise. It provides immediate action points to keep the enterprise or small- to mid-size business safer, and the graphically rich tool strengthens overall security, provides evidence of regulatory compliance, and proves the effectiveness and value of IT's security investment to management.
Today, IT administrators face a challenge of getting actionable information from the vast audit and log data associated with the many layers of security systems now required to keep corporate assets safe. As hacker and malware threats increase exponentially, they become more complicated to manage. And, with increasing regulatory compliance obligations, administrators are provided with too much data and not enough useful guidance to effectively respond to critical security threats and incidents in the network environment. Secure Firewall Reporter provides a central aggregation point for data from one to many thousands of Secure Computing Network Gateway Security appliances globally, making it scalable for small and large enterprises. Actionable information is prioritized by business impact so administrators can minimize response time and take corrective action before sensitive information is accessed or a threat has spread across the network.
Nimer Ghazal, Regional Sales Manager - Middle East, Secure Computing, said, "With Secure Computing's Secure Firewall Reporter, organizations in the Middle East can gain a better understanding of their policies from both a regulatory and overall network security perspective, which completes the firewall investment. Secure Firewall Reporter takes the pain out of regulatory compliance with complete template reports and forensic analysis tools, enabling administrators to easily demonstrate the value of their Secure Computing firewall deployments and satisfy audit requirements in regulations and standards such as PCI and Sarbanes-Oxley."
Complementing the compliance reports, Secure Computing's Secure Firewall Reporter can also pull together configuration management reports to show configuration-change detail to confirm corporate networks are configured to meet government requirements. Finally, the easy-to-install and easy-to-use software can be used in multiple languages, depending on the customer's needs.
