New ArcSight Express appliance family automates security operations and delivers pre-built security expertise on low cost, easy-to-use correlation and log management appliances
ArcSight Inc. (NASDAQ: ARST), a leading global provider of compliance and security management solutions that protect enterprises and government agencies, today announced its new ArcSight Express family of compliance and security monitoring appliances targeted at the needs of mid-size organizations with limited resources. Leveraging expertise and insights gained from serving over 1,200 organizations (including clients of MSSP customers), ArcSight Express includes the correlation rules, dashboards, and reports that matter in the protection of mid-size organizations. ArcSight Express eliminates the need for in-house security experts to build custom threat detection rules, dashboards, and reports as is the norm for customers of other security information and event management (SIEM) products focused on this market segment.
“Large organizations have more training, security skills, and technology safeguards in place, than smaller organizations have. This is a problem since mid-market companies are just as vulnerable as enterprise firms,” said Jon Oltsik, Principal Analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group. “With this announcement, ArcSight is marrying its enterprise experience with mid-market requirements for ease-of-use, packaging, and product pricing.”
“ArcSight Express has given us deeper visibility into our IT environment. We have improved our overall security by understanding our risks better. ArcSight Express' automation also helps us demonstrate compliance more efficiently. Now we can readily generate compliance reports without the need to manually sift through mounds of data. ArcSight is the cornerstone of our compliance and security program,” said Candy Alexander, CISO at Long Term Care Partners.
ArcSight Express is tailored to organizations with little in-house security expertise and looking for increased compliance and security at affordable prices and reduced administrative requirements. Many businesses are unable to staff a dedicated security operations center. In these firms, IT personnel may have multiple roles, and cannot afford to dedicate their time to monitoring the network. With ArcSight Express, security incident detection and notification is automated and IT personnel are able to focus on responding to important security incidents.
“There are many mid-market organizations that have similar security concerns as large enterprises but they don’t have the equivalent number of skilled resources to deploy. These companies are faced with the challenge of protecting their businesses with far fewer resources,” said Kevin Dawson, Vice President, Sales from Toronto, Ontario, Canada based ISA. “With ArcSight Express, our customers benefit from industry leading enterprise event correlation in a simplified, easy-to-use appliance with pre-built expert rules available at a range of price points that can meet their budget.”
ArcSight Express includes an ArcSight Express correlation appliance for real-time correlation, an ArcSight Express log management appliance for long-term storage, and built-in expert correlation rules, dashboards, and reports needed to secure the IT infrastructures found in mid-size organizations. ArcSight Express works with the ArcSight SmartConnector family that collects event data in native format from more than 275 devices and applications, and normalizes the data into a common format for correlation and analysis.
“ArcSight SIEM products are solid and tested in hundreds of the world’s largest enterprises today,” ArcSight CEO Tom Reilly said. “We are now taking our years of experience with advanced deployments and packaging a solution to address the needs of a much broader market segment. For mid-size business with constrained resources and budgets, ArcSight Express acts as their security expert, removing the need for custom rule development, and automates security operations - eliminating the need for a fully staffed 24x7 SOC, yet providing the automated monitoring needed around the clock. We are excited to offer our new ArcSight Express family for mid-size organizations looking to benefit from world-class security expertise with our correlation and analysis capabilities at a fraction of the cost.”
