Acton, MA – July 25, 2006– eIQnetworks™, Inc., a
global leader in the Security Information and Event Management
(SIEM) market, today announced the general availability of
Enterprise Security Analyzer (ESA) 2.5, the latest version of
the company’s innovative SIEM application. Delivering the
ability to process 15,000 Events Per Second (EPS) on a single
server and tens of thousands of EPS across multiple servers,
ESA’s performance has improved 100% to meet the security
intelligence and compliance requirements of even the most
demanding MSSP, government and enterprise customers.
“The power of eIQ’s new ESA solution has quickly enabled us to
take the cost and complexity out of security operations,” said
Saylor Frase at Nuspire Communications, an industry leading
MSSP serving the healthcare, retail, automotive and financial
industries. “Up in running in less that an hour, our team is
now able to centrally manage information risk and proactively
take action to minimize security breaches and system downtime.
With fast performance and the ability to customize reports to
meet specific requirements, ESA enables us to take the guess
work out of meeting our demands for scalable IT security and
compliance.”
As the market’s most comprehensive, yet easy-to-use and
cost-effective SIEM product, ESA provides essential real-time
security intelligence to improve operations by helping to
decipher hacker/virus behavior, combat security threats and
meet regulatory compliance requirements across the entire
infrastructure. With version 2.5, ESA offers comprehensive
device, application and compliance support – adding Oracle and
MS-SQL event management as well as features to meet the
requirements of the Visa Payment Card Industry (PCI) and
shipping with pre-configured, out-of-the-box compliance
modules for all major federal and industry mandates including
Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Federal
Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and the Health
Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
“Achieving PCI support is a milestone for ESA. With
comprehensive compliance support, we believe companies both
inside and outside the guidelines of PCI will appreciate the
power and convenience of ESA,” said Brian Mehlman, Director of
Marketing for eIQnetworks, Inc. “We’ve made sure that all
necessary log information is not only collected, archived and
analyzed, but is also made available in a form that easily
supports PCI as well as all compliance regulations.”
