RSA, the security division of EMC, has announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant within Gartner's Q12008 Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). This positioning is based on the company’s ability to execute and completeness of vision. It appears in the May 8, 2008 report by Mark Nicolett and Kelly M. Kavanagh entitled, ”Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management, Q12008.”
According to Gartner, “The SIEM market is driven by customer needs to analyze two types of data. One is the security event data in real time for threat management, primarily focused on network events and the other is the log data for security policy compliance monitoring, focused primarily on host and application events.”
The company’s enVision Platform is designed to give organizations a single, integrated 3-in-1 log management solution for simplifying compliance; enhancing security and risk mitigation; and optimizing IT and network operations through the automated collection, analysis, alerting, auditing, reporting and secure storage of all logs.
“We are proud that the report from Gartner has positioned us in the Leaders quadrant in this market,” said John Worrall, vice president and general manager, Information & Event Management Group, RSA. “This recognition is especially rewarding in the context of conversations we’re having with customers. They are demanding cost-effective solutions, integrated security suites, and fewer, strategic suppliers. We’re happy to be recognized by Gartner and we believe that this recognition is based on our offering a SIEM solution that meets the diverse needs of compliance, security, and IT & network operations personnel within a single product.”
