Overview
• Trustwave has a strong global presence and strong footing in
managed services, offering it for many of its technologies,
including its SIEM solution.
Strengths
• Trustwave offers a range of managed services, such as selfservice
allowing clients to conduct their own daily log review
and analysis, while leaving building and maintaining the
infrastructure, correlation, and normalization in Trustwave’s
hands.
• With its strong PCI compliance background, Trustwave’s
solution offers PCI Logging Guides. These QSA-developed
guidelines allow organizations to rapidly configure their
audit/logging settings to address PCI compliance requirements.
Challenges
• Trustwave has built its portfolio based on acquisitions, and
integration of all of its diverse products proves to be a common
issue with this vendor.
• Similarly, Trustwave’s lack of UCF and CEE participation are
symptoms of the early stages of its efforts to build an integrated
set of security solutions.
