14 DAY TRIAL // RandomStorm, a company that provides network vulnerability management and compliance solutions, has released StormAgent, a next-generation platform that integrates log analysis, a host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) and a file integrity system. StormAgent makes it easy for organizations to identify potential threats without having to manually go through millions of log files. More precisely, the product is capable of processing as many as 28 million logs each day.
The enterprise-class HIDS and the file integrity management tool that can be used to monitor critical hosts are capable of detecting in real time if any changes have been made to confidential files.
This is a critical compliance requirement under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
When critical issues are identified, StormAgent creates tickets and allocates tasks to specific users to make sure the problem is remediated before a breach occurs.
StormAgent can be used by organizations of all sizes. It’s highly scalable and it can be deployed even in companies that have multi-platform networks.
“The security status of networks and data storage devices needs to be continuously monitored to protect intellectual property and sensitive customer data,” said Andrew Mason, co-founder and technical director of RandomStorm.
“Anomalous activity, such as repeated failed logins, attacks on unused ports, or abnormally high levels of network traffic and bandwidth consumption, can raise the alarm that an attack is in progress,” he added.
“However, with billions of alerts being logged each year, important indicators can get overlooked. StormAgent provides system managers with a powerful tool that filters out the most vital information and most importantly, makes it understandable, so that staff can act swiftly to thwart an attack.”
