Stonesoft receives HP Arcsight CEF Certification for StoneGate network security solutions
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
One of the first security vendors to offer full CEF support
Helsinki, Finland - 22 June, 2011 - Stonesoft today announced that StoneGate
network security solutions have received Common Event Format (CEF) Certification
from Arcsight, Inc., an HP company and a leading global provider of security and
compliance management solutions that protect enterprises and government
agencies. Stonesoft is one of the first security vendors worldwide to offer full
support for CEF.
StoneGate Log Server can be configured to forward StoneGate FW/VPN, IPS and SSL
VPN logs to Arcsight in CEF format. This streamlines and simplifies the
integration of StoneGate product family event logs with the Arcsight Enterprise
Threat and Risk Management (ETRM) platform.
"The CEF Certification is a further manifestation of our strategic commitment to
provide our customers with the most advanced network security tools. Situational
awareness is the key to protecting your network. Our customers can now benefit
from streamlined interfaces between different network security appliances,
resulting in increased visibility and understanding of what is going on in the
network", said Antti Kuvaja, Director, Product Management at Stonesoft.
"To understand and counter malicious threats, IT administrators must rely on
both network and security information," said Dan Barahona, director of Business
Development at ArcSight. "With Stonesoft's advanced centralized management and
the Enterprise Threat and Risk Management solution from ArcSight, organizations
gain critical, up-to-date information about the status of their network
security."
The Common Event Format (CEF) is an open log management standard that improves
the interoperability of security-related information from different security and
network devices and applications. CEF is based on expertise from building
support for over 275 products across more than 35 solution categories and is the
first log management standard to support a broad range of device types. CEF
enables technology companies and customers to use a common event log format so
that data can easily be collected and aggregated for analysis by an enterprise
management system.
In addition to being capable of sending logs in CEF format, StoneGate Management
Center can also receive logs in CEF format. This complements the third-party
event management functionalities of StoneGate Management Center, making it
easier to receive logs from CEF-compatible devices. The new predefined CEF
logging profile is available in the new StoneGate Management Center 5.3 released
in May 2011.
