NitroSecurity, Inc. is a leading information management company, holding several highly differentiating patents in data collection, storage and management, which represent nearly four hundred man-years of research and development. In 2006, this intellectual property was used to solve several long-standing requirements in the information security market, specifically: the need to manage relevant security information in a highly responsive, real-time manner; and the need to monitor more information from an increasingly diverse set of relevant network devices and applications. In short, to develop a new breed of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) that overcomes both the scalability issues of previous solutions, while at the same time improving performance to the point where the SIEM can become an integral part of the Security Operations Center.

Leveraging core data management technology, the NitroView family of security appliances is able to achieve both scalability, breadth and depth of analysis, and at the same time reduce the operational delay of the SIEM from hours to mere seconds. The result is a Security Information and Event Management system that is uniquely capable of supporting the real-time, ongoing requirements of the Security Operations Center (SOC), moving SIEM back from the solitary role of a reporting tool, and into a much broader range of use cases. For example: integrating application, protocol, and database activity monitoring to provide both a clear audit trail of data access and use, and also an active defense against data leakage, insider theft, and fraud.

In short, NitroView's performance advantage allows for the assessment of vulnerability, threat and impact, across both network operations and overall business operations. With the ability to collect more information from more sources (data scalability), the ability to detect threats is improved, resulting in better overall security. With the ability to integrate more systems together (breadth of analysis), the required context of user identity, vulnerabilities, and impact are provided. With the ability to access this broader collection of information with maximum granularity (depth of analysis), the forensic analysis requirements of both SOC operators and compliance auditors are provided. Finally, all of this information is made immediately accessible using NitroSecurity's core data management technology to enable the correlation, reporting, and analysis functions of the SIEM in seconds, instead of hours.
