AlienVault Unified Security Management™ (USM) is an all-in-one platform designed and priced to ensure that mid-market organizations can effectively defend themselves against today’s advanced threats. | Unlike traditional SIEM or security point products, AlienVault USM provides:
|
Our goal is to provide you with a unified threat detection and compliance management solution that is both easy-to-use and affordable. We’ve built all of the essential security capabilities you need into one Unified Security Management platform, which is then powered by up-to-the-minute threat intelligence from AlienVault Labs and our Open Threat Exchange— the world’s first truly open threat intelligence community that enables collaborative defense with actionable community-powered threat data.
The result is a powerful solution that delivers on its promise of complete security visibility
The AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform provides five essential security capabilities in a single console, giving you everything you need to manage both compliance and threats. Understanding the sensitive nature of IT environments, we include active, passive and host-based technologies so that you can match the requirements of your particular environment. | |
Asset DiscoveryFind all assets on your network before a bad actor does
Vulnerability AssessmentIdentify systems on your network that are vulnerable to exploits
Intrusion DetectionDetect malicious traffic on your network
| Behavioral MonitoringIdentify suspicious behavior and potentially compromised systems
SIEMCorrelate and analyze security event data from across your network
|
Traditional SIEM solutions promise to provide what you need – but the path to get there is one most of us can’t afford. Traditional SIEM solutions integrate and analyze the data produced by other security technologies that are already deployed, but unfortunately most mid-market organizations don’t have those other technologies deployed yet! | AlienVault USM provides a different path. In addition to all the functionality of a traditional SIEM, AlienVault USM also builds the essential security capabilities into a single platform with no additional feature charges. And AlienVault’s focus on ease of use and deployment makes it the perfect fit for mid-market enterprises and organizations with limited budget and few in-house resources. |
