SAN FRANCISCO, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA CONFERENCE
2015 --
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- RSA® Security Analytics helps customers protect
digital infrastructures from the endpoint to the cloud
- New pricing and packaging options including throughput-based
pricing, subscription services and the ability for customers to
leverage existing storage investments
- New capabilities include visibility into attacks that target
critical customer-facing web and mobile applications as well as
data privacy capabilities
RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), today announced
new capabilities have been added to RSA® Security
Analytics that are designed to help organizations extend protection
of their infrastructure into the cloud. RSA Security
Analytics is engineered to give organizations the necessary context
to help detect and respond to today's advanced attack campaigns
before they can damage the business. This release also is built to
offer visibility into attacks that target critical customer-facing
web and mobile applications, and introduces data privacy
capabilities. In addition to extending the reach into the
cloud, RSA Security Analytics is now being offered with new pricing
and packaging options including throughput-based pricing that
better aligns the investment to the scale of the customer
deployment for better cost efficiency. In addition, customers will
also be able to leverage their own storage investments.
While logs are a valuable piece of the puzzle, they're limited
by what the preventative controls they monitor can detect, and
alone are not enough to identify advanced attacks. In fact, most
successful attacks go undiscovered by logs alone. In addition, even
when log-based Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM)
systems are able to detect the faint signals of an attack, they are
unable to piece them together to provide security analysts with the
understanding to quickly respond to and disrupt the attack.
Instead they overwhelm analysts with alerts that lack the context
needed to take action.
Security teams need to take a multifaceted and integrated
approach to security in order to fully comprehend an attack, speed
up response time when an incident occurs, and facilitate a return
to business as usual. RSA Security Analytics is designed to
aggregate logs, along with data from network packets, endpoints,
and now the cloud, and contextually analyzes the data to help allow
organizations to quickly and fully understand what was targeted,
the attacker's strategy and actions within the organization, and
the magnitude of the attack such that they can respond before a
breach of confidential information can occur. This release
also is engineered to introduce the ability for customers also
leveraging RSA® Web Threat Detection to correlate
enterprise attacks with web and mobile application exploitation,
which is designed to help organizations defend against both
security attacks and fraudulent user activity that targets their
critical customer-facing web and mobile applications. The
addition of cloud and application insight reiterates RSA's
commitment to offering the broadest visibility in the industry to
help detect and respond to advanced cyber attacks.
Additionally, RSA Security Analytics is now more accessible to
customers and channel partners through the addition of flexible
pricing and packaging options. Organizations can now choose from
deployment models that include throughput based pricing,
subscription options and use case based packages. With this
release customers can also leverage their own storage with RSA
Security Analytics. Throughput based pricing lets customers tailor
their purchase to fit their exact needs and, by leveraging existing
storage, could potentially lower the total cost of ownership to
deploy. Customers and partners also have the option to shift to an
operational expense model by leveraging subscription based
pricing.
Finally, RSA Security Analytics is now engineered to include new
data privacy capabilities. This feature is designed to offer the
ability to share valuable insight to security analysts without
exposing them to their organization's or employees' most sensitive
data, like PII. The ability to redact specific information will
allow users to focus on safeguarding their organization without
violating data privacy guidelines. These new capabilities for RSA
Security Analytics are all available this quarter.
Executive Quotes:
Grant Geyer, Senior Vice
President, Products, RSA
"As the threat landscape grows in complexity and more advanced
attacks emerge, organizations can no longer rely solely on a
log-centric approach to security. RSA Security Analytics is what
SIEM was meant to be by giving enterprises the ability to detect
attacks missed by other tools and respond before attackers can do
damage. By integrating a wide range of inputs from packets, to
logs, to endpoints, RSA Security Analytics exposes attacks that
would otherwise go unnoticed."
Jon Oltsik, Principal Analyst,
Enterprise Strategy Group
"It is clear that protection technologies alone are inadequate
for blocking today's advanced attacks. This is where the
security industry needs to move beyond legacy approaches so that
they can gain the needed visibility into suspicious behavior and
the latest threats. Traditional log-centric SIEM is no longer
enough; information security analytics must collect and analyze the
right data for more rapid cyber-attack detection before these
attacks can inflict damage and loss on an organization."
