ArcSight, the global leader in enterprise security management (ESM), has announced that its solution has become the first ESM-class solution to receive Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) certification, awarded by the CVE Initiative.
"As the clear, independent standard for identification of vulnerabilities and information security exposures, CVE certification is critical for enterprise security management solutions," says Martyn Healy, Marketing Director of Blue Turtle, the South African partner for ArcSight.
"As the first ESM solution to receive CVE certification, ArcSight has empirical proof of its leadership in integrating vulnerability data into real-time and historic security management technology."
ArcSight offers a unique enterprise class security management solution, collecting and analysing security data from diverse devices and empowering companies to efficiently manage information risk and protect critical assets across the enterprise, and around the globe.
"ArcSight`s critical advantage is its ability to correlate and evaluate all risk factors for specific security events and to assess potential threats and attacks in relation to the value and vulnerability of the business processes and assets involved," says Healy. "Today`s security environment demands such capabilities, and only ArcSight ESM has demonstrated and been certified to provide such functionality."
ArcSight Discovery was also recently named "Product of the Year" by SearchNetworking and ArcSight ESM received top scores in the InfoSecurity SIM Bakeoff.
"The reliability, performance and flexibility of ArcSight ESM as a comprehensive enterprise security platform is proving to be an ideal solution for our South African clients," continued Healy.
"Threats and attacks can span the entire network, across organisations and geographies," says Healy. "The unique capabilities of ArcSight ESM, including comprehensive device support, an expert analysis engine and unified centralised management can effectively manage these threats on a range of industry standard hardware and software platforms."
"Customers are using ArcSight ESM for threat management, both internal and perimeter as well as for regulatory compliance. With ArcSight ESM, organisations can manage information risk and protect critical assets by responding to the right security issues at the right time," says Healy.
ArcSight leads the market with support for over 120 different security products from over 60 different technology vendors. In addition, ArcSight is a Platinum HP Enterprise Solution Partner and a top-tier Cisco AVVID and Juniper Networks Global partner.

CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) is a dictionary list of standardised names for vulnerabilities and other information security exposures. The goal of the CVE List is to make it easier to share data across separate vulnerability databases and security tools. The content of CVE is a result of a collaborative effort of the CVE Editorial Board, which includes representatives from numerous security-related organisations such as security tool vendors, academic institutions and government, as well as other prominent security experts. The MITRE Corporation maintains the CVE List and moderates editorial board discussions.
