TriGeo SIM Named SC Magazine’s ‘Best Buy’ in 2010 SIEM Group Test

TriGeo’s ‘Power and Simplicity’ Brings Home the Company’s 3rd
Consecutive ‘Best Buy’ Recognition from Leading IT Security Publication
POST FALLS, Idaho — TriGeo Network Security, the leading provider of security information and event management (SIEM) technology for midmarket enterprises, just announced that its TriGeo Security Information Manager (SIM) solution was named SC Magazine’s ‘Best Buy’ in the 2010 SIEM group test. TriGeo SIM received five out of five stars across six categories and was selected as the ‘Best Buy’ because of its ‘Power and Simplicity.’ SC Magazine’s ‘Best Buy’ designation is reserved for the top product rated in the group test and recognizes outstanding performance and functionality across all categories.
TriGeo was tested along with nearly a dozen other SIEM solutions that participated in the group review. Evaluators based their decision on product features, ease of use, performance, documentation, support and value for money, with a particular emphasis on ease of product deployment, range of data sources supported, how well the SIEM allows users to drill down into the raw log data and how easy it is to read and populate the dashboard and analysis screens.
The review notes that “Distributed attacks, complicated attack paths, insider abuse and a raft of other events that take place across the enterprise instead of in a single place, cry out for the correlation capabilities of a robust SIEM.”
“The TriGeo Security Information Manager (SIM) is a very powerful tool that can provide a deep look into network events and system logs with granular controls,” wrote Peter Stephenson, technology editor at SC Magazine in his review. “TriGeo’s biggest value is in the correlation and the technology provides a lot of easy-to-use power right out of the box at a reasonable price.”
“SC Magazine’s recognition of TriGeo SIM as its ‘Best Buy’ for the third consecutive time is validation that not all SIEM solutions are created equal,” said Michelle Dickman, president and CEO of TriGeo Network Security. “The SIEM tools in this group test were designed for forensic analysis and are completely passive. TriGeo SIM is proactive and designed to capture, correlate and respond to both network attacks and insider threats.”
Delivered as a fully configured appliance, TriGeo SIM supports hundreds of network devices, and comes stocked with more than 700 security and network monitoring rules and more than 300 pre-built reports for compliance and network analysis. The solution goes far beyond simple log management, providing real-time log analysis to identify network attacks and policy violations as they happen and initiate proactive responses such as quarantining, blocking, and USB device defense. All of this is available at a price starting below $20,000 for North American-based deployments. The company has hundreds of customers across financial services, retail, healthcare, education, government, utility and media/entertainment.
