|
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 Tim Maletic, information
services security officer 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 enabled Priority Health to integrate
data from firewalls, syslogs, IDS
and even web servers in a single
console--providing much needed
visibility across the organization.
Vulnerability assessment data was
also included in the integration
mix. 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. |
|
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.
"Thanks to ArcSight, it became very
easy to look at a series of security
events--regardless of which device
they came from--and see the real
scope of the problem and what kind
of response was needed," says
Maletic. |
