21Vianet Selects ArcSight ESM as Platform for 21Trust Security Monitoring Service
BEIJING, CHINA – 27 May 2008 –ArcSight, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARST), a leader in enterprise compliance and security management solutions, today announced that 21Vianet, a supplier of telecom neutral internet infrastructure and service, has deployed ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) to launch a security monitoring service named “21Trust.”
The challenge facing 21Vianet is how to both protect their customers’ assets and to enhance its own security posture to the level where it can quickly respond to the variety of potential security issues and monitor relevant enterprise risk levels.
In order to address the security issue, 21Vianet has invested heavily to construct “21Trust,” the new security monitoring platform. During the construction process, an extensive product evaluation took place testing and comparing how alternative solutions performed in collecting and correlating large amounts of log data. Arcsight ESM delivered strong performance results and was chosen as the technology platform for “21Trust.”
“Information security is a significant threat in the digital world. Our partnership with ArcSight has enriched 21Vianet’s outsourcing service by providing leading technology in enterprise security. Our newly launched 21Trust security monitoring service will use ArcSight ESM to connect with our own service platform to collect millions of events that then undergo powerful correlation and analysis to identify real threats. Customized reports with technical views will be automatically sent to the appropriate system engineer, and then relevant and role-based information will be reported to customers for response,” said Li Zeng, Vice President of 21Vianet.
“The 21Trust service is an exciting new service offering. With ArcSight, 21Vianet can correlate and analyze log events in an intelligent, real time monitoring platform, including auto alerts for the IT administrators with situational, trend or ad hoc events. This helps their customers better protect against both external and insider threats and potential fraud,” said Albert Kuo, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific, ArcSight.
”21Trust has high performance requirements. ArcSight ESM is a part of our platform because it can collect and monitor event sources from our customers comprehensively, analyze a vast amount of data intelligently and correlate it interactively to shorten response times, helping to better protect IT assets against business and security risks,” said Zeng.
