Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

AlienVault USM also enables you to centralize the storage of all your log data in the AlienVault Secure Cloud, a certified compliant environment. This alleviates the burden of having to manage and secure logs on-premises, while providing a compliance-ready log management environment. SIEM software solutions and log management tools provide valuable security information, but often require expensive and time-consuming integration efforts to bring in log files from disparate sources such as asset inventory, vulnerability assessment, endpoint agents, and IDS products. Once you have the data, you then must research and write correlation rules to identify threats in your environment.Advantages of using all-in-one security essentials is Save Time and Money in Integrating Multiple Third-Party Security Tools and Start Detecting Threats on Day One with Pre-Written Correlation Rules.
