BEDFORD, Mass., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA, The Security Division of EMC
(NYSE: EMC), today 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(R) 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.
"We are proud that the report from Gartner positioned RSA in the Leaders
quadrant in this market," said John Worrall, vice president and general
manager, Information & Event Management Group, RSA. "This recognition is
especially rewarding in the context of conversations we're having with
customers. They are demanding cost-effective solutions, integrated security
suites, and fewer, strategic suppliers. We're happy to be recognized by
Gartner and we believe that this recognition is based on our offering a SIEM
solution that meets the diverse needs of compliance, security, and IT &
network operations personnel within a single product."
