Why ArcSight Matters to Your Customer
Today's compliance, network, security and IT operations professionals are recognizing the strategic value and insight that enterprise log data can provide. Nearly every major regulation affecting corporate security now demands continuous logging and effective log management. Regulations like HIPAA, SOX, PCI DSS, NERC, and FISMA require collection and auditing of access logs. Businesses are recognizing the strategic value and insight that enterprise log data can provide.

Key customer decision makers include:
  Executives (CIOs, CFOs and CEOs) can benefit from log management that provides ongoing visibility into business objectives, operational metrics, corporate governance and regulatory initiatives.
  Audit and Compliance Managers recognize the value of log data in monitoring adherence to compliance controls and in simplifying, automating and streamlining costly compliance initiatives.
  Security Administrators can leverage rapid access to log data for security threat detection, investigation follow through and development of remediation plans.
  IT Operations Teams responsible for networks use log management (SIEM) to provide visibility into network, system and application health and availability; support security operations; and streamline network troubleshooting across the enterprise.


For example, you can use ArcSight to:
  Find worms coming through your firewall
  Find viruses spreading across desktops
  Find hackers breaching the network
  Find users running unauthorized p2p applications
  Use SIEM to detect whether someone has hacked into a remote employee's computer and come through the VPN into the network
  Discover where organizations are not meeting regulatory compliance guidelines
  In the event of a problem, SIEM can also help determine which systems were affected and, therefore, which ones need clean-up.
 
ArcSight Products
The ArcSight Compliance/SIEM Platform is an integrated set of products for collecting, processing, and assessing security and risk event information from physical, network and security devices to hosts, databases and applications. These products can be purchased and deployed separately or together, depending on organization size and needs.

They include software and appliances for:
  Event Collection
  Log Management
  Event Correlation
  Compliance Automation
  Identity Monitoring

The ArcSight Enterprise and Risk Management platform is an integrated product suite for collecting, analyzing and assessing security and risk information.
Product Description
ArcSight ESM
  Automates pattern analysis
  Protects critical application transactions
  Secures sensitive data
Analyzes and correlates every event that occurs across the organization – every login, logoff, file access, database query, etc. – to deliver accurate prioritization of security risks and compliance violations. The powerful correlation engine of ArcSight ESM sifts through millions of log records to find the critical incidents that matter. These incidents are then presented through real-time dashboards, notifications or reports to the security.
ArcSight IdentityView
  Monitor privileged users
  Attribute shared account usage
  Detect activity by terminated users
ArcSight IdentityView combines the broad activity collection and correlation of SIEM with user and role data from identity and access management (IAM) and directory technologies. ArcSight IdentityView enriches log events with user information, and as a result, organizations get a complete picture of user activity, including monitoring high risk privileged and shared accounts.
ArcSight Logger
  Store and manage all enterprise log data
  Automate compliance reporting
  Gain business intelligence for logs
ArcSight Logger collects information from any system that generates log data. It can process that information as much or as little as desired, and can produce ultra-fast searching across the data. As a result, organizations of any size can use this high performance log data repository to aid in faster forensic analysis of IT operations, application development, and cybersecurity issues, and to simultaneously address multiple regulations.
ArcSight Express
  Deploy all-in-one correlation and log management
  Automate security operations
  Search terabytes of log data in seconds
ArcSight Express correlates seemingly unrelated events and NetFlow data from network devices using the most advanced real-time correlation techniques. By correlating disparate events and NetFlow data, it can detect even the most subtle attacks. As a result, organizations can cut through millions of activities to focus on the most critical incidents affecting the organization. This provides better security and faster response with fewer resources. ArcSight Express also includes the first log management solution to fully integrate field-based and raw text search across structured and unstructured log data.
ArcSight Connectors
  Collect data from 275+ pre-built connectors
  Create new connectors with a simple toolkit
  Retain consistent monitoring
ArcSight Connectors solve the problem of managing log records in hundreds of different formats. While the ArcSight SIEM Platform can collect log records in native formats, ArcSight Connectors provide normalization to a common format, which greatly improves reporting and analysis. By normalizing all events into one common event taxonomy, ArcSight Connectors decouple analysis from vendor selection.
ArcSight's Compliance Insight Packs
  Help IT departments achieve compliance faster, and provide the ability to demonstrate compliance with ease.
Compliance Insight Packs include rules, reports, alerts and dashboards that are targeted towards specific regulations, and have a deep understanding of both the regulation and network environment.

Allows IT departments to constantly monitor whether processes are following defined controls, and generates alerts when organizations fall out of compliance for any reason. Compliance Insight Packs help IT departments dig deep into any compliance issues present across the organization to mitigate the variance.
