Top analyst firm positions EMC’S RSA Security division in leaders quadrant for security and Event Management
May 2008 by Marc Jacob
RSA, The Security Division of EMC, announced that it is positioned in the Leaders quadrant within Gartner’s Q12008 Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). This positioning is based on RSA’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 security event data in real time (for threat management, primarily focused on network events) and to analyze and report on log data (for security policy compliance monitoring, primarily focused on host and application events).”
The RSA 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. More than 1200 customers have selected the RSA enVision® platform. Of those customers, more than 600 signed deals to deploy the RSA enVision platform between September 2006, when EMC acquired Network Intelligence, and May 9, 2008.
