NFR Security announced the integration of NFR Security's Sentivist intrusion prevention data into Symantec's Security Management System (SSMS).
Symantec customers will benefit from the ability to correlate data produced by NFR Security's award winning intrusion prevention solution.
"We identified NFR Security as a strategic partner that will provide our customers with accurate threat prevention information," said Rowan Trollope, Symantec vice president, security management systems. "With best-of-breed security solutions from around the globe, our new universal event collector will give enterprises peace of mind in knowing that they can effectively log and manage security data through one, convenient console."
Symantec's newly released Symantec Universal Event Collector integration toolkit allows partners such as NFR Security to easily integrate their security data into the Symantec Enterprise Security Architecture, the security platform powering the SSMS. Correlation of NFR Security's trusted prevention data provides customers with precise threat protection for rapid analysis and remediation while minimizing false positives.
"Today's complex networking environment requires security technologies to easily integrate and communicate with each other," said Andre Yee, president and CEO of NFR Security. "Our ability to partner and integrate the Sentivist solution with other leading security solutions offers our customers an added layer of insight and a more precise view of their network security posture."
NFR Security's Sentivist solutions provide organizations with accurate attack prevention at both the perimeter and at the application level. The industry-unique, patent-pending Confidence Indexing feature utilizes highly configurable, actionable rules to enable Security Administrators to calibrate the level of prevention they deploy in their enterprise. The system is built on the company's hybrid engine that gives users the most advanced methods for identifying and preventing known and unknown attacks, including advanced signatures, protocol anomaly, state tracking and data context analysis. Sentivist also allows users the flexibility to customize existing signatures and create new ones, including specific applications like Voice over IP, Instant Messaging and peer-to-peer. Sentivist supports attack prevention in distributed environments in both small and large scale enterprises.
