ArcSight, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARST) and McAfee (NYSE: MFE) today announced that ArcSight has joined the McAfee(R) Security Innovation Alliance(TM).
The initial focus of this partnership will be on the integration of the ArcSight SIEM Platform with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator(R) (ePO(TM)).
By leveraging the ArcSight SIEM Platform to continuously monitor, correlate, filter and send critical security events to McAfee ePO, McAfee customers can promptly respond with security countermeasures targeting those systems affected. For example, the systems on a subnet penetrated by a worm attack observed by the ArcSight SIEM Platform could be promptly updated with new anti-virus signatures, software or policies as a countermeasure. This integration also combines the proactive compliance auditing of McAfee Policy Auditor with the compliance event archiving, alerting, and reporting of ArcSight Logger in support of PCI, SOX, HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.
ArcSight, Inc. provides compliance and security management solutions that protect enterprises and government agencies in the United States and internationally. T

Point-to-Point Solutions Will Leave You Hungry
David Shephard on Aug 21, 2008 01:34 PMIt’s great to see the market starting to make progress towards better integrated and, to some degree, automated security assessment and event management. I think there is an underlying risk here, that needs addressing. The approach of building many point-to-point solutions is very like eating cotton-candy when you’re hungry: a quick fix that doesn’t resolve the real problem. If organizations start to build many of these kinds of integrations into their security programs, they ultimately end up with a very expensive, very difficult to maintain, and very vendor-specific set of solutions. What I’m seeing in the organizations with more mature security and compliance programs is an approach of starting with an open process automation technology that then hooks into specific solutions only as necessary to either gather information or drive response. In the end, it becomes the processes themselves that are strategic, not the tools that implements them.
