While information security point products such as IDS, SIEM, antivirus and others provide organizations with critical security information, they are limited to collecting, monitoring and reporting only on “silos” of data. Unfortunately, detecting and protecting information systems from today’s advanced persistent threats – from broad-based cyber-attacks, to insider threats, data theft for monetization purposes and automated malware propagation – requires a comprehensive understanding of how these different information security silos relate to each other. This capability, known as situational awareness, provides organizations with critical visibility across the entire spectrum of enterprise security data, providing clarity through eliminating the “background noise” of irrelevant information.
