Ottawa, ON and Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 21, 2007
Third Brigade and NetIQ Corporation, an Attachmate business, today announced they have signed a global reseller agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, NetIQ’s worldwide direct and channel sales forces are authorized to sell Third Brigade’s host intrusion prevention software and related professional services.
“While industry and government regulations continue to dictate CISOs priorities, they are increasingly driven by the need to bolster compliance objectives with proactive measures to prevent malicious or inadvertent changes on critical business systems,” said Chris Pick, vice president, Marketing and Products at NetIQ. “By complementing NetIQ’s industry-leading SIEM solution with Third Brigade’s host-based intrusion prevention capabilities, we are extending organizations’ ability to detect and prevent unauthorized changes and block security breaches so that CISOs can address dual priorities in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”
NetIQ® Security Manager provides superior data protection for the enterprise, delivering integrated security information and event management with intelligent host monitoring. By combining auditing, access control monitoring, privileged user monitoring and log analysis capabilities, the product offers protection against both inadvertent and malicious threats that can negatively impact the security of valuable corporate information. By implementing NetIQ Security Manager, users can reduce the time and effort required to meet compliance requirements and identify, track and resolve security threats.
NetIQ is positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders Quadrant in the ‘Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management, 1Q07’ report, which evaluated NetIQ Security Manager.
“The integration of host intrusion detection and prevention with SIEM is integral to solving real business challenges,” said Eben Berry, Director of IT Security Audit, Risk & Compliance of Blue Cross Blue Shield Massachusetts. “By partnering, NetIQ and Third Brigade provide a complementary approach that allows organizations to better protect critical systems, and further leverage IT security and compliance investments.”
“We are extremely pleased to be partnering with NetIQ – a security industry leader,” said Wael Mohamed, president and CEO of Third Brigade. “Their vision and global reach allow us to more quickly and effectively capitalize on the growing global demand for increased security, compliance and control of mission-critical servers.”
