NitroSecurity Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of the 2011 Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
Online, May 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - NitroSecurity, Inc., the leader in high-performance, content-aware security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the 2011 "Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management."
According to the research report by Mark Nicolett and Kelly M. Kavanagh published on May 12, 2011, "The SIEM Leaders quadrant is composed of vendors that provide products that are a good functional match to general market requirements, have been the most successful in building an installed base and revenue stream within the SIEM market, and have a relatively high viability rating (due to SIEM revenue, or SIEM revenue in combination with revenue from other sources). In addition to providing a technology that is a good match to current customer requirements, Leaders also show evidence of superior vision and execution for anticipated requirements. Leaders typically have relatively high market share and/or strong revenue growth, and have demonstrated positive customer feedback for effective SIEM capabilities and related service and support."
Notably, Nicolett and Kavanagh stated that "in this year's SIEM vendor evaluation, we have placed greater weight on capabilities that aid in targeted attack detection, including support for data access, user activity, and application activity monitoring, and development of profiling and anomaly detection."
NitroSecurity's NitroView SIEM delivers the analysis, rapid reporting and actionable intelligence required by security operations centers (SOC) at today's global enterprises. With the industry's deepest integration between comprehensive log and security event management, NitroView enables organizations to perform granular searches and correlate security events in real-time for the purposes of threat detection, incident response and forensics. The only SIEM with real-time performance, massive scalability, integrated database activity monitoring and application data monitoring capabilities, NitroView provides full content awareness for broad visibility helping organizations establish true "situational awareness" across enterprise, government and critical infrastructure networks.
Additionally, Nicolett and Kavanagh cited that "adoption of SIEM technology by a broad set of companies has fostered demand for products that provide predefined compliance reporting and security monitoring functions, as well as ease of deployment and support."
With hundreds of pre-built compliance reports, NitroView helps organizations efficiently meet the exacting requirements of PCI DSS, HIPAA, NERC CIP, FISMA, GLBA and SOX. NitroView is the industry's only end-to-end NERC CIP security and compliance solution enabling critical infrastructure operators to log, analyze and correlate security events across their enterprise, industrial control system and SCADA networks.
