RSA Launches Industry's First End-to-End Incident Management Solution

RSA CONFERENCE 2011 --RSA, The Security Division of EMC, today announced the RSA? Solution for Security Incident Management, the industry's first automated solution that helps CISOs visualize and prioritize the growing number of security threats during minimizing the time-consuming manual investigation processes.  The new solution is designed to enable security analysts to focus on the security risks most likely to impact business objectives with more complete information to manage the resolution of those incidents.  

Available this quarter, the RSA Solution for Security Incident Management is engineered to automate the identification, prioritization and resolution of enterprise security incidents.  A plug-and-play integration framework streams incidents in real-time from RSA enVision® platform to the RSA Archer? eGRC platform.  Identified incidents are at the time prioritized against data loss, identity, vulnerability, configuration and forensics feeds from RSA and other vendor platforms, providing complete context of events and their impact to the organization.  This first integration of real-time SIEM feeds into a flexible GRC business workflow provides out of the box templates, flexible workflows, alerts and role-based dashboards to efficiently manage the remediation of security incidents.

Security incident

"When you're responding to a security incident, it's vitally important that you have as much information at your fingertips as possible - information about where the attack is coming from, the systems at which it is aimed, and most importantly, its potential impact on the business," said Jim Raub, Senior Director, Information Security and Compliance, PAETEC.  "That way, you concentrate on responding to the right things, and spin as few wheels as possible getting to the root cause of the most important problems.  RSA's Solution for Security Incident Management will help us address this."

Managing security risk takes more than just innovation, so to help clients stay ahead of security and regulatory challenges, RSA will facilitate a community of security leaders in global organizations who play key roles in directing and architecting security management programs.  The objective of the Security Management Working Group is to share ideas and best practices around security management issues.  Roughly 30 global organizations attended the group's first meeting at RSA® Conference on February 14, 2011. Leading this distinguished group is Samuele Ghelfi, Chief Information Security and Privacy Officer, Raymond James Financial.

In order to help clients more effectively collect all of their security incidents, EMC announced a new professional services assessment called the Target Capabilities Assessment for Security Information and Event Management.  The new service is designed to help clients expand beyond log management and accelerate their business-focused SIEM and eGRC program design and execution based on unequalled understanding of the EMC and RSA product portfolio.  This service is just in case to the existing broad set of eGRC and security management services for cloud computing, information governance, security management and business continuity.  EMC offers its worldwide strategic guidance and innovation expertise to deliver security and risk management capabilities, architectures and solutions to more than half of the Global Fortune 500 organizations.

"Our strategy is to bring at the same time an integrated set of solutions and services into our overall strategy that will provide organizations with correlated, contextual and comprehensive view of their security landscape," said Dan Schiappa, Senior Vice President, Products, RSA, The Security Division of EMC.  "By collecting what were once isolated technologies, inputs and feeds into an integrated set of views and workflows, security teams will gain new abilities to prioritize threats according to their business impact and manage risk and compliance issues in a real-time, consistent and repeatable way."
