Higher Availability and Reliability Provides Customer with Automated Solution to Reduce Risk
WESTWOOD, Mass. And LONDON, England,— [Network Intelligence, a privately-held leader in transforming enterprise-wide data into compliance and security information, joined RSA, The Security Division of EMC, after its acquisition by EMC in September 2006.]
Network Intelligence™ Corp., the market-proven leader in transforming enterprise-wide data into automated compliance and security information, today announced that British Energy Group plc (British Energy) has selected Network Intelligence as its security information and event management (SIEM) solution. British Energy is the UK’s largest producer of electricity. With a dedicated workforce of over 5,400 skilled professionals and an extensive IT environment, the company produces around one-fifth of the nation’s electricity.
Network Intelligence will provide British Energy with market-proven security and compliance solutions to augment the company’s IT security policies under the government standards of the Office for Civil Nuclear Security. British Energy selected Network Intelligence because its powerful platform provides the foundation to drive higher availability of log collection and analysis throughout the enterprise. While corporations are spending more and more on network security, a pragmatic approach to automate as much as possible streamlines IT operations and reduces corporate risk.
“Network Intelligence perfectly suited our strategy to consolidate and analyze log events across a wide breadth of multi-vendor network, security and host applications. There was no other solution that we evaluated that could handle as many events, from dozens of device types. I am now able to assign different views and access to this mission-critical information based on predetermined policies and processes, which ensures high availability and security of mission critical information,” said Peter Burge, Information Security Officer, British Energy.
Network Intelligence is the SIEM industry’s most widely deployed product and is built upon LogSmart® Internet Protocol Database™ (IPDB) which efficiently collects and protects all the data, from any IP device, without filtering or agents. By capturing all the data, British Energy has the ability to track, detect and mitigate known and unknown vulnerabilities from their enterprise network which results in improved security and compliance reporting. Moreover, because Network Intelligence does not need to install agents on source devices, the original log files are not altered in any manner – not a small point when case law and best practices dictate the protection of digital chain of custody by strictly controlling how raw log data should be viewed and stored.
“Increasingly, enterprise customers are looking for a way to consolidate disparate events and share that information regularly with other stakeholders, in a sustainable, automated fashion,” said Upesh Patel, vice president for product marketing at Network Intelligence. “British Energy understands that transforming thousands of events from multiple layers in the network is the cornerstone to secure the achievement of an important strategic objective – enhanced network security and reduced risk.”
