FAA Turns to ArcSight to Manage Information Security for Aviation's Demanding Network Environment

In the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks, the Federal Aviation Administration initiated permanent 24-hour Computer Security Incident Response Center (CSIRC) operations, and after a thorough, competitive evaluation that included 14 vendors, ArcSight was chosen to meet the FAA's real-time enterprise threat management needs.

The global leader in Enterprise Security Management (ESM) software, ArcSight addresses the mission-critical security and compliance requirements of today's most complex IT environments. The FAA needed a tool powerful and robust enough to take over first level data analysis, identifying hundreds of thousands of false positives to allow security personnel to focus on true threats to system security and dramatically reduce security event response time.

ArcSight was able to help the FAA deal with the threat of cyber-terrorism, and security concerns from viruses and worms, to increase regulatory compliance. The FAA used ArcSight ESM to achieve vastly improved situational awareness through real-time event correlation and threat analysis -- along with additional features that address the mission-critical nature of today's security operations.

"The FAA's investment in ArcSight ESM demonstrates the clear benefit of implementing the leading security management solution in even the most demanding environments," said Steve Sommer, senior vice president of Marketing and Business Development, ArcSight. "ArcSight's peerless real time security event management, event correlation, and compliance capabilities are why we boast the industry's fastest growing, most advanced customer base."
