ALERT LOGIC SOLUTIONS OVERVIEW ®
MANAGED SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE FOR THE CLOUD. SECURITY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. As the threat landscape becomes more complex, maintaining the security of your sensitive data is more important than ever. Protecting your brand, evolving your products and services, growing your customer base, returning value to shareholders, and maintaining your competitive advantage all depend on the protection of your data. In the past, individual hackers used “smash-n-grab” methods to steal your data, making protection strategies straightforward. Unfortunately, hackers today are more organized and sophisticated, using multi-vector targeted attacks to penetrate your environments, conceal their presence, and steal as much of your data as possible. Combating these attacks requires a comprehensive security platform that offers integration across products and a trained staff to run and maintain them, which can be complex and expensive. And if your data is stored on-premises and in the cloud, you may need different solutions to protect each environment, increasing the initial investment and ongoing costs to maintain your security posture. Meeting today’s security needs using yesterday’s methods is not possible. A new security strategy is necessary to allow your organization to stay ahead of these attackers regardless of where your sensitive data resides. The right strategy is one that moves you from a siloed, reactive, technology-centric approach to an integrated, proactive, knowledge-centric approach to securing your data.

ALERT LOGIC SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE AS-A-SERVICE To deliver consistent, dependable security and compliance, a solution must include dynamic threat intelligence, realtime security content, a powerful analytics engine, and people capable of managing the solution. While some solutions deliver parts of these components, the Alert Logic solution is the only cloud-based solution that provides every component needed for an organization to achieve its security and compliance goals.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION Alert Logic products are designed to protect networks, systems, and applications regardless of where they reside. Unlike other vendors who provide multiple products with individual user interfaces, Alert Logic products are integrated and make use of a single user interface. This integration makes it simple for customers to review their security and compliance posture anytime, anywhere.
REAL-TIME THREAT INTELLIGENCE Threat intelligence is the lifeblood of any security framework; however, uncovering this vital data is not a simple task. The Alert Logic® ActiveIntelligence™ team mines a variety of sources looking for indicators and information that will drive the creation of new security content to protect customers. This team is comprised of security experts who are well versed in the methods and tactics used by cyber criminals to penetrate networks, exploit application and system vulnerabilities, and exfiltrate sensitive data. With this specialized team working nonstop to identify threats and attacks, organizations are protected at a level that surpasses the capabilities of most internal IT teams.Intrusion detection that identifies and mitigates threats as they move across an organization’s network
SECURITY CONTENT DRIVES CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Threat intelligence alone will not protect an organization. Intelligence must be translated into actionable information. Alert Logic has a dedicated team whose sole responsibility is the creation of new security content that enables the Alert Logic platform to eliminate irrelevant security events and focus on those that warrant further investigation. When a breach or vulnerability is identified, these researchers spring into action, identifying the necessary signatures and related threat information that needs to be implemented to the Alert Logic customer base to protect their environment. With dedicated security content researchers, Alert Logic customer environments are protected from the latest threats all day, every day.
CERTIFIED EXPERTS DELIVERING PROACTIVE PROTECTION Alert Logic’s security and compliance experts are the backbone of the Alert Logic solution. These GIACcertified analysts provide an organization with specialized skills and expertise that would be difficult to develop in-house. These experts provide organizations the ability to: •
PROTECT WEB APPLICATIONS. Alert Logic Web Security Manager delivers a combination of signature-based protection and a learning engine that provides positive protection by understanding “normal” web application behavior and alerting on unusual activity. Experts in the Alert Logic Security Operations Center manage, tune and monitor Web Security Manager 24x7, 365 days a year to ensure your web applications and your business

•
DETECT SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE ISSUES FROM LOG DATA. Certified security and compliance experts analyze log data to identify potential compliance issues as well as suspicious activity that may indicate a security risk.

•
