ArcSight’s market-leading real time correlation product, ArcSight ESM, provides advanced analysis of log event data to discover potential threats before they spread.
Advanced Correlation
ESM uses a variety of sophisticated techniques to sift through millions of events to find the incidents that can have real business impact. Effective correlation is very important; poor correlation results in either missed threats or too many false positives and therefore, wasted time and money. ArcSight ESM provides “forensics on the fly” via real time correlation across multiple systems and millions of events, with drill down from a complex alert to the events that caused it.
Automatic Response
When ArcSight ESM finds a potential problem via event correlation, the optional guided response engine, ArcSight Threat Response Manager (TRM) can provide administrators with workflow-driven advice for containing the problem. For example, if ArcSight ESM detects an employee potentially accessing records in an unauthorized way, ArcSight TRM can determine which Active Directory account to disable, which VPN session to disconnect, etc. and then guide an administrator through the proper steps.
ESM is available as configurable software or as an appliance (ArcSight ESM E7100), and can be deployed on its own or with ArcSight Logger and ArcSight Connectors. By using ESM and ArcSight Logger together, customers can find anomalies in real time, then compare those to historical data for more context.
ArcSight ESM makes organizations more effective and secure by filtering out the “noise” and focusing on the most important incidents.
