Storage giant EMC had a couple of updates today, first and foremost an announcement coming from the Black Hat cybersecuirty conference. The company introduced NetWitness Panorama as well as several significant updates to its RSA enVision Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform. The former is the newest threat management and log analysis module to join the RSA NetWitness platform, capable of running as an extension of an existing NetWitness installation or as a standalone service, to integrate with enVision.
Panorama can analyze 200 enterprise log formats thanks to RSA enVision content definitions, and features several other advantages. Features include:
EMC’s made some pretty drastic improvements to enVision. Version 4.1 now allows query execution up to 10 time faster than before the update, run enVision ES centralized deployments as a fully virtual machine.
Panaroma will hit beta in the next quarter, the same time enVision 4.1 will launch into general availability.
EMC is looking to gain back some of what RSA lost with the SecurID token incident – hackers managed to steal information about that the widely-used encryption system which is supposed to have eventually led to attacks on at least one defense contractor. The storage tech maker’s security division lost is also monetary – the costs of recovery mounted up to $66 million to date.
Putting aside security, EMC also announced today it has acquired a stake of application-acceleration startup Asankya for a price thought to be somewhere in the $5 million to $10 million range. The company develops what it calls “parallel networking,” a concept that EMC apparently plans to repurpose for cloud content delivery acceleration.
