(NASDAQ: ARST), a leading global provider of security and compliance management solutions that protect enterprises and government agencies, today announced that ArcSight ESM / Logger received the Gold in the security information and event management (SIEM) category from The Information Security™ Magazine and SearchSecurity.com™ 2009 Readers’ Choice Awards.

ArcSight ESM, part of the ArcSight SIEM Platform, provides the real-time monitoring, historic analysis and automated response necessary to manage the higher level of risk associated with doing business in today’s digital world. The advanced real-time correlation capability of ArcSight ESM identifies the relevance of a given event by placing it within context of who, what, where, when and why that event occurred and its impact on business risk. ArcSight ESM correlates incoming events with asset prioritization and vulnerability, user activity and threat history to deliver accurate and automated prioritization of security risks and compliance violations. The powerful correlation engine of ArcSight ESM processes many millions of log entries down to the few critical events that matter. These incidents are then presented through real-time dashboards, notifications or reports to the security administrator. Once risks are identified, ArcSight ESM provides a built-in workflow engine that guides risk containment activities, including case management and handing off the threat information to ArcSight Threat Response Manager (TRM), for threat isolation and remediation options.
ArcSight Network Configuration Manager is an appliance-based network configuration management solution that optimizes and automates the manual process of auditing network and security devices for compliance and change control, making configuration changes and documenting those changes across large networks as well as providing compliance controls to enable changes remain within policy. ArcSight Network Configuration Manager is tightly integrated with the ArcSight SIEM Platform.
