Acton, Mass. – May 16, 2011 – eIQnetworks, Inc., a leading provider of unified situational awareness solutions, today announced the availability of a new solution brief entitled, “Using SecureVue to Address Verizon's 12-Step Program for Thwarting Data Breaches.” The solution brief outlines how SecureVue can help organizations to minimize the threat of data breaches when implementing each of the security controls recommended in Verizon’s recently released, “2011 Data Breach Investigations Report.” eIQnetworks’ flagship solution, SecureVue® is the only platform to provide a more accurate, in-depth view of an organization’s security and compliance position via a single console.

The Verizon report states that 63% of data breaches could be prevented through security controls it calls “simple and cheap” while only 4% of data breaches require preventive measures described as “difficult and expensive.” Verizon recommends a straightforward 12-step program to minimize the threat of data breaches and address these “simple and cheap” controls, suggesting that vulnerabilities could be eliminated by implementing basic preventive measures and practices.

“This year’s Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report provides compelling evidence that security threats continue to be a major problem across every major industry vertical,” said John Linkous, eIQnetworks’ vice president and chief security and compliance officer. “Verizon’s common-sense recommendations require visibility across all security information, including events, asset data, system configuration changes, network traffic analysis, performance metrics, file integrity and more. As a true unified situational awareness platform that goes far beyond the monitoring capabilities of point tools, SecureVue is uniquely positioned to provide out-of-box capabilities to address these recommendations.”

eIQ’s SecureVue is the only unified situational awareness platform that collects, analyzes and correlates all security and compliance data including log/events, configuration, asset, performance, vulnerability, netflow and compliance data from all sources, including network devices, security devices, servers and applications. SecureVue provides an in-depth view of an organization’s security position via a single console through comprehensive, real-time security monitoring, compliance automation, configuration auditing and forensic analysis.
