Acton, Mass. September 27, 2005 eIQnetworks, Inc. (www.eiqnetworks.com), a global provider of comprehensive Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions for the enterprise, today announced it is setting its sights on exceeding the security information and compliance management demands of large, global enterprises, service providers and managed security service providers (MSSPs) with the debut of Enterprise Security Analyzer (ESA). With ESA, eIQnetworks is introducing a newly-developed, patent pending Threat Visualization technology, a distributed scalable architecture designed to seamlessly scale ESA to support thousands of network devices and hosts, and significantly enhanced compliance management benefits. ESA is ideally-suited for the increasingly complex and challenging security and compliance requirements of globally dispersed, large enterprise infrastructures, service providers and MSSPs.
Incorporating patent pending, agentless technology, ESA is the first SIEM solution on the market to deliver Threat Visualization, centralized log management, continuous and real-time monitoring, correlated alerting, reporting and forensics analysis, all in a single solution. ESA collects, archives and correlates event and system data from a variety of heterogeneous, multi-vendor network devices and Windows, Linux and UNIX servers and work stations. This capability enables large enterprise and MSSP customers to bolster security operations and deliver all necessary security operations management tools to meet stringent federal regulatory requirements, such as SOX, GLBA, HIPAA, and FISMA compliance.
CEOs and CSOs still reeling from the brazen and extremely damaging security breaches over the past year are beginning to embrace more strategic, preemptive approaches to protecting enterprise assets with cost-effective SIEM solutions, said Jon Oltsik, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. eIQnetworks has addressed these issues head-on with Enterprise Security Analyzer. With this launch, eIQ is demonstrating its grasp on the complex and comprehensive requirements of effective security and compliance management and a profound understanding of the real-world needs, pain points and security requirements of C-level managers across all industries.
Ideal for large enterprises, ESA enables Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to easily integrate ESA into existing security operations and introduce new and value added revenue generating subscription based services, such as centralized log management, real time security event monitoring and alerting, reporting and on-demand forensics. MSSPs can easily deliver these services to their end user customers, either by integrating ESA into existing portals using built-in APIs or by leveraging out-of-the-box monitoring and reporting portals and single sign-on features.
