When working with government customers, we need to be able to prove that the sensitive data we process and store is safe from attacks, and eIQ's SecureVue platform enables us to do that," said Rich Edwards , director of Technical Operations for ALS. "The platform's ability to reduce server load and eliminate storage overflow also enhances our overall network performance."
ALS is using SecureVue to collect, correlate and analyze log, vulnerability, configuration, asset, performance and network behavioral anomaly data across its geographically distributed network. By combining these elements into a single repository, ALS is able to cost-effectively use forensics, correlated alerting and reporting to identify threat patterns, detect configuration changes, support compliance mandates and proactively monitor network health across all devices, servers and applications.
"One of the main reasons we selected eIQ's SecureVue is its ability to consolidate and correlate data across the enterprise," said Edwards. "This enables us to better serve customers like the Department of Homeland Security with unified security management, including the ability to quickly run comprehensive forensics queries from a single console."
"Advanced forensic analysis and reporting is critical to ALS' overall security and compliance strategy," said John Sullivan , senior vice president of field operations at eIQnetworks. "By automating the collection data from multiple disparate sources, SecureVue enables ALS to more quickly identify potential threats and streamline compliance support."
