ArcSight set for UK growth with appointment of Wick Hill as first UK
July 2008 by Marc Jacob
Wick Hill has been appointed the first UK distributor for US company ArcSight, a provider of security and compliance management solutions that help organisations comply with regulatory policies and control security risks. This appointment signals further significant UK expansion for ArcSight.
Compliance is becoming an increasing concern for many companies, with
more and more regulations, such as PCI (Payment Card Industry), coming into force. The SIEM market is one of the fastest growing security
sectors, with IDC forecasting a compound annual growth rate of over 23%.
ArcSight solutions are able to discover, in real-time, the most critical
threats to organisations, as well as manage and report on regulatory
compliance, allowing companies to prove they are compliant when asked to do so.
The solutions are vendor independent, with the ability to collect
security event information from geographically dispersed security
devices and other critical IT systems across an organisation,
correlating heterogeneous products to identify true security threats. In
doing so, they can help prevent data leakage and data theft, while
supporting intrusion prevention and business continuity.
