ArcSight Case Study: Tyson Foods

Summary:	In the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley, Tyson Foods chose ArcSight solutions to collect and analyze event logs from a distributed, heterogeneous environment. They've since found that ArcSight log management solutions help both with automating compliance and tightening security.
Business Challenge:	With a distributed environment created an avalanche of event logs, Tyson Foods needed an automated way to sort through and monitor the logs for compliance breaches and security incidents.
Solution:	ArcSight ESM and ArcSight Logger provide Tyson Foods with the ability to find the important event data very quickly, by normalizing a broad range of event logs. The ArcSight log management solution was able to detect an external penetration test within five minutes of it's installation and is now the cornerstone of the audit compliance program. "ArcSight can play in a very heterogeneous environment so you can normalize that data and find what you need very quickly," said Colin Henderson, Senior Security Analyst at Tyson Foods.
Benefits:	"ArcSight has given us a view into the things that are going on in our environment that we would have no other way of finding out," according to Colin Henderson, "We are now able to take our critical systems, define what files are important and monitor those for changes, as well as monitoring the serves and databases that house those applications for inappropriate access."
