ITC Global Security and ArcSight join forces to offer security and compliance management and monitoring for large organisations
ITC Global Security has announced their global strategic partnership with ArcSight, a global provider of security and compliance management solutions. The partnership will enable medium to large enterprises to more efficiently and effectively manage and monitor security, business risk and over 230 compliance products. Best practice, Risk Management and compliance have become today’s corporate sleeping giants and companies with a laissez faire approach to these issues are playing a losing game of corporate roulette. Research from Gartner observes that many clients need to implement SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) technology to satisfy regulatory requirements — for example privileged user reporting for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)...these compliance-funded projects are also an opportunity to improve security monitoring and incident management capabilities.1 ArcSight is positioned by Gartner in the leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). Ironically, the information and tools needed to effectively manage risk, enhance security and instil the bedrock for compliancy are often lying dormant and wasted within the often unnoticed volume of IT log information. Through improved access to automated, centralised and normalised log and event management this information can be proactively and effectively used to make informed decisions on security data and incidents. The ArcSight SIEM Platform is unique in its ability to standardise and utilise this critical information across multi-platforms and provide “forensics on the fly” across a broad range of customer needs. ArcSight’s Security Information and Event Monitoring (SIEM) technology can rapidly identify, prioritise, and respond to compliance violations, policy breaches, cyber security attacks, and insider threats. Concise, graphic dashboards offer a clear insight to security posture, to highlight any potential risks. The reliable correlation functionality enhances security and the audit trail ensures compliancy is continuously met. ArcSight is adaptable for those organisations requiring historical reporting, simple alerting, time and frequency threshold notification; as well as those requiring complex multi-variable correlation and pattern matching. Across this spectrum, ArcSight provides products that summarise network trends and clearly indicate the source behind each alert or report. Business continuity is also enhanced through an improvement in responsiveness to external attacks and internal breaches. ArcSight’s technological solutions will be provided to clients as part of ITC’s pioneering ‘Outsourcer Management’ model; ITC will not simply resell ArcSight solutions, but rather make a valued contribution to the innovations which have given ArcSight their unique technological edge over the years.
