Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

We utilize AlienVault USM for the below categories

Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation.
Threat and Malware Detection.
Log Management, Monitoring, and Archiving.
Managed SIEM.
Compliance Monitoring & Reporting

Being able to cover all the above aspects in one screen considerably reduces time and, let's not forget, money to quickly and effectively solve security issues within the company and implement fixes and reports as needed.
  • SIEM - Real time logs allow you to quickly drill down into current issues in your network and filter out any noise
  • Alarms - The alarms page shows all the current environmental awareness on the network and a quick report and ticketing system allows for ease of use. This again saves time and make you more effective at resolving issues and the ability to pass the tickets to the relevant department.
  • OTX - The open threat exchange integrations enables the USM to use all the latest threat indicators to correlate against incoming threats without the need to manually add rules to your USM.
  • Apps - AlienVault integrate with many apps already but there are plenty more to be added to allow further integration with other products.
  • More ability to filter logs form other security platforms
AlienVault can be used in in most companies' security arsenal as the aspects it addresses are now more of a "must have" than a "I can do without" in attitude. The ability to quickly spot at network security issue and resolve it before a hacker can utilise the vulnerability allows a proactive approach to company cyber security and will reduce the possibility of a cyber security attack at that company.
