Intellitactics

A couple of weeks ago, one security vendor had a product announcement that made me LOL. Their BIG news was that they were integrating their EVENT management with their LOG management. I checked the date on the article to make sure this wasn’t a Google hiccup.

Hello! Intellitactics SIEM solutions have offered LOG PLUS EVENT management for SIX YEARS!

This vendor, with a name that looks like an explosive, was exploding into the news with the details of how they are now integrating two distinct functions in their product line – log management and event management.

What really made me ROFL was the explanation for WHY they were integrating these two functions and here it is verbatim: “. . . it’s a compromise created by the industry to prevent systems failing from too much data. Compliance requirements lead to massive logs. . . which can easily outstrip the capacity of a legacy SIEM in a short time.”

Where has this guy been? Intellitactics Security Manager and Intellitactics SAFE offer SIEM solutions with a product architecture that handles massive amounts of logs and with the same strength handles peak events during attacks while correlating events and delivering reports against summarized data. At Intellitactics we took the SIEM definition seriously – security information AND event management in one fully integrated SIEM solution.

Their spokesperson went on to say: “Everyone claims they have an integrated system – but it’s brand level integration, or two entirely separate products.”  I guess that’s what they’ve been offering until this BIG announcement that they are really integrating the two functions.

Intellitactics customers are managing up to 7 BILLION events per month – 220 MILLION events per day – collecting logs, correlating events and running reports with ONE fully integrated SIEM solution.

In fact, we never had TWO separately branded products for logging and event management because you should never collect logs without knowing that you can do more with the logs. Intellitactics SIEM enables you to collect logs, then transforms them into a fewer number of actionable events. With a SIEM solution like ours, false positives are a memory and security analysts are able to be proactive when responding to alerts. And all of this from the SAME SIEM solution that provides audit worthy reports for auditors and assessors.

Yes, in the words of our worthy competitor – “it is nice to know who is hacking you”. Intellitactics SIEM solution offers the history and experience of an integrated SIM and SEM starting at $25,000. OMG!
