Huntsman Security breathes new life into legacy SIEM deployments with Unified Console

Huntsman Security has launched its Unified Console, the world’s first cyber security software product to offer a single view of multiple security information and event management (SIEM) solutions across the enterprise. The new Huntsman Unified Console aggregates information from existing SIEM systems into a single dashboard to allow large enterprises to bring order and improved visibility to environments that can consist of multiple security solutions spread across diverse global operations and business units. The product is the first multi-domain security information management platform with true data segregation and pan-organisation threat alerting and response. This provides IT and C-level execs with a single source of continuous, up-to-date threat and compliance information, streamlining the assessment process and dramatically reducing the threat resolution timeframe.

“The modern, global enterprise can easily use a variety of different security monitoring solutions; whether for the networks, platform support and compliance teams; or for operations in London, New York, Melbourne or Bombay, said Peter Woollacott, CEO, Huntsman Security. “No single one of these solutions will give the business what it needs at the highest level, yet replacing them simply isn’t an option. It would require a radical, costly change that needs multiple points of view to converge. Unified Console tackles this challenge head-on by helping companies to modernise their legacy security solutions, manage multiple environments from a single console and extend investments in their current SIEM infrastructure. By providing a single pane of glass for all security information, Huntsman Unified Console offers a federated view across the enterprise that bridges the gap between the C-suite and IT.”

The Huntsman Unified Console has been designed to aggregate alert information to a central point, taking existing legacy SIEM platforms and deployments as downstream sources. This means that businesses can continue to operate individual security silos, but also benefit from a single point of incident management, compliance oversight and reporting. It gives them the opportunity to aggregate and correlate downstream alerts from disparate parts of their business, detect advanced or concerted attacks and leverage their existing security monitoring investments - building future-proof security monitoring into older deployments without having to swap out or replace technologies at a local, ‘point solution’ level.

Huntsman Unified Console, is underpinned by the defence-grade Huntsman Cyber Security Platform, which correlates internal and externally sourced threat information at high speed, automating routine pre-analysis and processing to contextualise diverse data sets and prioritise threats that matter. Using rules and behavioural-based engines rather than relying only on ad hoc query-led investigation or industry-based patterns, Huntsman combines machine learning with proprietary algorithms to instantly and accurately isolate risky anomalies based on an organisation’s unique data dynamics and provide precise, actionable intelligence for incident response in seconds. Features include:

· Collection and parsing of all data from network, server and application sources

· High volume, high speed processing, correlation and analysis for real-time security decisions

· Live security and compliance status dashboards for segmented or whole network threat intelligence

· Applies proven Behaviour Anomaly Detection (BAD) for real-time detection of the unknowns and unknowable threats that cannot be predicted

· Modular, scalable design to seamlessly adapt to changing circumstances

“Cyber security solutions have come a long way in recent years and are well suited to track and identify potential breaches from massive amounts of data? however, recent Target, Sony and Adobe breaches illustrate the challenges involved with running a 21st century business and the need to identify and act on legitimate risks immediately," said Rob Enderle, President & Principal Analyst, The Enderle Group. "In most high profile breaches, slow time to resolution, not lack of recognition, is the issue that brings companies to their knees. Software providers like Huntsman are addressing this issue by helping companies identify and resolve threats quickly."
