LogRhythm and Solera Networks Partner to Provide SIEM with Deep Packet Inspection and Network Security Intelligence

Solera Networks software, combined with LogRhythm, provides complete situational awareness to proactively address cyber threats

BOULDER, Colo.—March 13, 2012—LogRhythm, a leader in log management and SIEM, and Solera Networks, the leading Advanced Security Intelligence and Analytics company, today announced a technology partnership to provide customers with unsurpassed network visibility, security and situational awareness by combining LogRhythm’s best-in-class, award-winning SIEM platform with Solera’s security intelligence and analytics solution. For any LogRhythm-generated alert, customers will now have access to Solera’s DeepSee platform with complete Layer 2 through Layer 7 detail, as well as historical context via Solera’s Deep Packet Inspection engine to proactively respond to cyber-incidents.

LogRhythm delivers comprehensive visibility and situational awareness regarding network attacks, breaches and insider threats through a powerful, fully-integrated and intuitive solution. Solera Networks’ software delivers all network traffic and data flows instantly, for complete visibility and reconstructed analysis, enabling administrators and security professionals to receive complete packet-level detail to address the full source and scope of any network security event and protect the network against further attack. LogRhythm customers will now be able to know—at the packet, flow, and file level—what happened before, during and after an event by launching Solera’s solution from within the LogRhythm console to capture, replay and reconstruct packet-level data associated with a LogRhythm security event.

“Today’s IT infrastructures face persistent threats that are highly dynamic and constantly evolving,” said Alex Seton, vice president of business development at Solera Networks. “More than ever, organizations need to know everything that is happening on their networks and deploy effective prevention and incident response tools to combat cyber security threats. We believe that the joint solution of LogRhythm and Solera Networks provides our customers with the actionable intelligence and network visibility necessary to respond proactively to any emerging threat.”

The best-in-class security correlation and advanced pattern recognition of LogRhythm’s next-generation SIEM 2.0 platform, combined with Solera’s analytics platform, provides security operations professionals with active intelligence and detailed analytics, including:

• Situational Awareness — Today sophisticated, persistent and targeted attacks are specifically designed to circumvent traditional defenses that organizations have implemented. LogRhythm’s SIEM solution provides early detection and alerting of security events in even the most complex enterprise IT environments, while Solera’s appliances act like a security camera that can recreate and replay network traffic surrounding any event reported by the LogRhythm platform— jointly providing complete situational awareness to defend networks against existing and future threats.
• Incident Response — Effective incident response starts with solid integration with the most popular security tools on the market. With the correct data, responding to an incident is instant, active and efficient.
• Network Security Assurance — Network security assurance verifies today that your network was not impacted by threats that were unknown yesterday. Because threats can be transient and/or persistent – and signatures are typically written for initial exploits – there has been no way for historical incidents to be detected, until now. With LogRhythm and Solera Networks, organizations can replay traffic to their LogRhythm platform after any tools in their sensor fabric have been updated with the latest definitions. When a major new exploit is discovered, the network security assurance offered by LogRhythm and Solera Networks can provide the peace of mind that the organization is secure.

“Our vision has always been to integrate with leading-edge security solutions, and we have found an ideal partner in Solera Networks,” said Matt Winter, vice president corporate and business development at LogRhythm. “Together, our integrated solutions provide unmatched cyber-threat detection, network forensics and security response capabilities to actively address advanced threats. Astute organizations understand the need to shift resources from a simple ‘prevention’ mode to a complete defense, detection and response system for cyber security, and our combined solutions help enable that shift.”
