22 Feb Crescendo expands on the security area through its ArcSight partnership
CRESCENDO announced the start of its partnership with ArcSight, a Hewlett-Packard company and one of the leading security information vendors and SIEM (Security Information & Event Management), dedicated to monitoring security events at IT&C infrastructure of companies and government organizations. Following this partnership, CRESCENDO team is empowered to offer the full range of services to provide a holistic approach to securing companies’ networks, applications and data to support the business continuity processes of any business.
IT & C applications and infrastructure (communications equipment, servers, storage, etc.) generate data every millisecond, every day, organized into log files. Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) solutions ensure real-time, on-site monitoring of security-related events (SEM) in conjunction with Security Information Management (SEM) from the entire IT & C infrastructure.
Positioned by Gartner in the SIEM applications ‘Leaders / Visionaries’ quadrant, Arcsight’s portfolio assures data collection and aggregation, logs correlations, analyzes user roles and signals network alerts to retrieve, retain and report who, where, how and why the incident / security incident occurred.
As a matter of fact, Arcsight solutions surround an organization’s IT&C infrastructure in order to monitor the functioning of software and hardware components and user activity, but also to normalize, intelligently sort information, make correlations between different security events, and provide synthetic reports. “An eloquent example for intelligent behavior of the product is how it correlates information about users, detecting and recording their activity in an application even though they have used identical credentials; this is obviously based on integrating information about the identity declared at other levels, such as the workstation or domain, “says Cristian Mierlea, Business Unit Manager, IT Infrastructure Solutions, CRESCENDO.
The major benefit to companies and government organizations is given by the full visibility of both the entire IT & C infrastructure – network, applications, data – and user activity, which identifies and mitigates cyber threats and cyber-related risks, providing added protection and security in maintaining business continuity.
In addition, Arcsight’s solutions portfolio is a good tool in supporting the implementation and management of Information Security Management Systems (ISO / CEI 27001: 2006), IT Services Management (ISO / IEC 20000: 2005) and Business Continuity Management (BS 25999: 2006 ), systems that offer these companies competitive advantages in the market.
“ArcSight solutions, corroborated with our IT & C integrator experience and company certifications in the information security area, guarantee companies and government organizations achieve safety and availability goals that ensure business continuity amid a fast depreciating investment values are well below the direct and indirect costs of a significant security incident.”, says Marius Tulea, General Manager, CRESCENDO.
