Mumbai, May 12, 2007
RSA, the security division of EMC announced the advancement of envision solution for compliance and security, through new integration, features and capabilities that will help customers accelerate their businesses.
The new capabilities of the RSA enVision platform is built to help provide an information management platform for compliance and security data that can comprehensively and cost-effectively map and transform it into actionable intelligence.
Compliance and security event log data has emerged as a critical type of information that organizations need to manage from the time the event data is created to the time it no longer needs to be retained for compliance or audit.
RSA enVision information management platform is engineered to collect all the data necessary to maximize an organization's security posture and to reduce the burden of compliance. Integration with EMC's networked storage systems helps to best position the RSA enVision platform to cost-effectively help organizations.
RSA's strategy helps provide for the management of security compliance event log data over the complete security information lifecycle. It is designed to encompass integrations with a broad range of leading storage offerings, like EMC's to provide easy-to-deploy, pre-configured storage package options.
As engineered, this allows customers to define log retention policies in RSA enVision platform that is automatically executed through EMC's storage solution portfolio, enabling complete collection-to-retirement management for all security information.
"Our customers know that there is an ever growing mass of compliance information putting a considerable strain on the IT infrastructures we have in place, and they are looking for ways to manage that information," said John Worrall, vice president, information and event management business unit, RSA.
Elaborating on the benefits, he added, "RSA offers customers collection-to-retirement management for all security information, allowing them to maximize the value of the information while helping to minimize the cost."
RSA enVision now offers availability collection server configurations that operate in hot standby active and passive mode to eliminate the risk of collection interruption. If a server failure occurs during the collection process, the hot standby component is designed to detect the problem and automatically takes over.
"This new enhanced availability collection capability is built to offer them uninterrupted log management. They can now manage all their data, all of the time," said Worrall.
In addition, RSA enVision is integrated with networked storage systems from EMC, providing customers additional tiered storage choice. The network-attached and direct-attached storage models come preconfigured and prepackaged for simpler, faster deployment, and will help customers lower their overall storage and management costs.
The new release of RSA enVision platform also adds three major features that collectively will help enable customers to more effectively respond to potential threats and reduce the risk of penalties.
Vulnerability and asset management integration adds vulnerability and asset intelligence and significantly reduces false positive alerts, enabling efficient focus on real threats. Watchlist alerting and reporting allows watchlists to be created or imported to enhance efficiency of security operations.
Automatic real-time alerts based on watchlists can flag policy violations as they occur, enabling real-time compliance. Task triage and ticketing system integration simplifies operations by providing a complete incident response system for improved accuracy and faster resolution of investigations.
