Overview
• RSA, the security division of EMC, focused on compliance with
its enVision solution. With the recent acquisition of NetWitness,
RSA is looking to address the increasing needs of customers for
security against advanced threats.
Strengths
• RSA has taken a holistic view of security management and the
integration of its three security management platforms (SIEM,
DLP, eGRC) is visionary.
• The company is now looking to further integrate NetWitness’
network packet forensics into the enVision platform, creating a
product that addresses the long-term focus of compliance, and
the short-term view of log management and analytics.
Challenges
• The fusion of the enVision and NetWitness product lines has
already begun, but integration efforts may not be fully
completed for up to 12 months.
• RSA has the most costly solution of those that were priced out,
but new “smart pricing” options may allow more economical
pricing for users based on data capacity requirements.
