Security Information Management

Security information management software is essential to effective IT security. As corporations and government agencies deploy an increasing number of point solutions such as firewalls, IDS and anti-virus systems, it becomes very clear very quickly that these products generate too much information—they swamp operators and analysts with noise and meaningless alerts. Security information management systems collect, consolidate and correlate security product log and event data, enabling smart filtering, automated threat triage and smart intruder detection.



Companies and organizations that deploy effective security information management systems see a dramatic reduction in the number of alarms that need to be investigated, saving considerable time and effort. Security information management systems also support compliance initiatives, for which effective real-time monitoring and response is key. Some of our customers have even had their solutions pay for themselves simply from the risk reduction involved by detecting unmanaged threats after monitoring a single critical firewall—although the benefit of deploying a security information management system increases the more security sentry product logs are analyzed.

Individual security products are effective, but without security information management and intelligent event correlation, only up to a point. An individual security system lacks enterprise-wide context, a view into underlying vulnerabilities, and doesn't help security operators and analysts identify threats picked up from multiple vendor consoles. Security information management software from OpenService unifies the data from all your deployed security systems—and can add data from servers, routers, switches and desktops too—to create a more effective team approach, eliminating the disadvantages inherent in a series of isolated systems.

As a result, InfoCenter's security information management correlation provides a "meta" intrusion detection system, leading directly to accurate threat identification, massive false positive reduction, and improved security operations capacity and productivity. Being the easiest security information management solution to install, deploy and configure thanks to its highly distributed and scalable architecture, InfoCenter's security information management software gives demonstrable security ROI faster than any comparable enterprise-scale security information management product.
