ArcSight Case Study: Priority Health
| Summary: | Priority Health, a top ten provider of health insurance plans, is now able to correlate security data from multiple devices on a single console, providing true visibility into the full-range of security events. |
| Business Challenge: | Data generated in Priority Health's IDS and firewall systems was not integrated with syslog data. This made it difficult for Priority Health to gain true visibility into security events across the entire organization. "We were using one set of tools to monitor syslog data, another set of tools for firewall data and yet another for IDS data," says Paul Melson, Manager of Information Security at Priority Health. "The greatest limitation was that we didn't fully understand the true nature of security threats in our environment." |
| Solution: | ArcSight solutions enable Priority Health to integrate data from firewalls, syslogs, IDS and even web servers in a single console - providing much needed visibility across the organization. The company was able to correlate vulnerability assessment data with IDS logs, allowing it to ignore countless security alerts that were simply not applicable to its environment. ArcSight Logger integrates seamlesly with ArcSight ESM and has enhanced the company's ability to quickly troubelshoot and perform top-to-bottom security investigations. |
| Benefits: | The bottom line is that Priority Health has become much more adept at managing vulnerabilities and measuring the overall performance of its information security platform. "ArcSgiht has become our primary partner in security," says Melson. "With ArcSight ESM and ArcSight Logger, we have effectively shifted from a reactive security stance to one that is very proactive and forward-thinking." |
