Trustwave has released security information and event management (SIEM) software to help businesses defend themselves against a flood of security threats.
Trustwave SIEM Enterprise guards against threats that jeopardise confidential data and operations, including malware, advanced persistent threats and other forms of cyber crime. The software uses big data processing power to combine data correlation and threat intelligence with rule- and role-based controls and reporting, in order to improve day-to-day intelligence and management.
"Today's security professionals are demanding more value and manageability out of SIEM," says Leo Cole, GM of security solutions at Trustwave. "They need to advance from traditional log management to more sophisticated threat correlation, improved security intelligence and sustainable risk management, without the deployment and management complexity that often turns traditional SIEM tools into 'shelf-ware'."
Threat detection is a problem area for many businesses, according to the 2013 Trustwave Global Security Report, which noted that many businesses relied on third parties (including customers, law enforcement and regulatory bodies) to notify them of a security breach. On average, it took businesses 210 days to detect intrusions.
SIEM technologies can assist with this problem by allowing businesses to pre-empt and deal with evolving threats by streamlining response times and enabling businesses to collect and analyse relevant data, says Trustwave. Internal threats, such as application flaws or insecure user practices, as well as external threats, such as malware, can all be analysed.
Trustwave SIEM Enterprise is currently available, and includes third-party support, pre-packaged reports and various deployment options. "Trustwave SIEM Enterprise gives security analysts the power to do what they've wanted to do with SIEM but couldn't before due to complexity and limited resources," concludes Cole.
