Security solutions provider AlienVault has released the industry’s first Unified Security Management (USM) virtual appliance.

The new USM appliance incorporates a series of open-source tools for asset discovery, threat detection, security intelligence, behavioral monitoring, and vulnerability assessment, all of which are tuned to provide threat management and complete security visibility via a management console.

“AlienVault’s new virtual appliance reduces complexity, making it easy for a company of any size to gain immediate security visibility, compliance and threat management capabilities in just a few quick steps,” said Russell Spitler, vice president of product management at AlienVault.

“By offering both physical and virtual appliances, AlienVault gives companies the flexibility to choose which Unified Security Management solution is best for their environment.”

Key features of the USM virtual appliance include compatibility with VMWare ESXi and Proxmox environments, free customer support for one year, continuous vulnerability monitoring, and simpler HIDS deployment for distributed environments.
