Downtime
CUPERTINO, Calif. - December 3,
2007 - ArcSight, Inc., a leader
in enterprise security and
compliance management
solutions,
today introduced
ArcSight Network Configuration
Manager (NCM) 4.2, an
industry-leading network
configuration and compliance
management solution. ArcSight also
introduced the
ArcSight NCM Audit Package for Cisco,
a CIS (Center for Internet
Security)-certified set of controls
and reports for managing, monitoring
and auditing Cisco-based networks.
The new package uses the latest CIS
benchmark, version 2.2, for Cisco
Router IOS and Cisco PIX
firewalls. The ArcSight NCM Audit
Package for Cisco offers a
real-world, measurable baseline for
compliance standards that lack
defined compliance processes, such
as SOX and HIPAA.
Key benefits of ArcSight NCM and
ArcSight NCM Audit Package for Cisco
are as follows:
-
The solution
automatically monitors the full
set of 90-plus auditing
requirements against Cisco
routers and firewalls and
provides active remediation to
audit violations to avoid
network disruptions.
-
Easy-to-use
point-and-click authoring of
audit controls allows
organizations to quickly create
and modify the CIS audit
controls to their individual
compliance needs without
requiring programming.
-
ArcSight
dramatically simplifies network
configuration and compliance
management through intuitive,
role-based wizards that minimize
the demands placed on
overburdened network engineers.
-
The secure,
hardened appliance protects
valuable network configurations
and at the same time is easy to
deploy and delivers a low total
cost of ownership.
Solution
Provides Measurable Baseline,
Visibility
"ArcSight is improving the security
of enterprise networks by shipping
out-of-the-box CIS-certified audit
controls in an appliance-based
network configuration and compliance
management solution," said Tom
Reilly, president and COO of
ArcSight. "As part of this new
offering, ArcSight is shipping a
dramatically simplified,
point-and-click authoring
environment for tailoring the
controls for a company’s specific
needs. In addition, ArcSight NCM 4.2
offers wizard-driven change
provisioning that changes the game
for productivity in the
administration and enforcement of
network policy."
"With ArcSight NCM there are no
manual processes involved, and its
real-time capabilities ensure that
we proactively meet our compliance
goals. The installation was very
quick, and the separation of audit
core content and adaptable
parameters allowed us to be up in
production within a short time,"
said Mike Wong, senior network
engineer, Verizon Business.
"The CIS benchmarks are designed to
offer measurable baselines for
best-practice security
implementations, eliminating many of
the security problems that could
otherwise occur," said Clint
Kreitner, CEO of the Center for
Internet Security. "Since compliance
regulations such as SOX and HIPAA
have no technology-specific
guidance, the CIS benchmarks help
companies align their IT operations
with generalized regulations.
Through its certification for Cisco
Router IOS v 2.2 and Cisco PIX v 2.2
audit controls, ArcSight NCM has now
provided an assured, easy-to-use set
of audit controls to meet the core
requirements of governmental
regulations and industry mandates
such as PCI."
Availability and Pricing
ArcSight NCM and ArcSight NCM Audit
Package for Cisco are available now.
Pricing starts at $40,000.

About CIS
The Center for Internet Security

whose mission is to help
organizations reduce the risk of
business and e-commerce disruptions
resulting from inadequate technical
security controls. CIS members
develop and encourage the widespread
use of security configuration
benchmarks through a global

The practical CIS Benchmarks support

companies keep it updated with
accurate product information.
