Agiliance RiskVision Continues to Embrace ArcSight Technology


SAN JOSE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

Agiliance®, Inc., the leading independent provider of Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced the release of the ArcSight™ ESM (Enterprise Security Manager) connector for its flagship product, Agiliance RiskVision™. Leveraging the ArcSight (News - Alert) connector allows highly regulated organizations to import assets, incidents and vulnerabilities from ArcSight ESM into Agiliance RiskVision.

The ability to combine the power of ArcSight's Security Information and Event Management technology with Agiliance RiskVision's capabilities of risk prioritization, robust workflows for incident case management and comprehensive reporting, attracts many highly regulated organizations such as British Columbia Government, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Fiserv and Fannie Mae because this solution provides them the following key capabilities:

  • Allows them to obtain a near real-time business view of the security posture across their large, heterogeneous IT infrastructures
  • Correlates incidents and vulnerabilities to identified risks and impact in order to aid in the prioritization of remediation and identification of gaps in their internal controls
  • Assists key decision makers in determinig what additional mitigation efforts should be undertaken to bring the current security posture to an acceptable level



"As a leading provider of financial services technology, Fiserv employs many sophisticated, class-leading tools in the operation and monitoring of our security infrastructure. The new Agiliance RiskVision connector to our ArcSight ESM system will enable us to dynamically aggregate and report on risk-related information, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our monitoring activities," noted Murray Walton, chief risk officer, Fiserv. "We rely on Agiliance RiskVision as the hub of our risk assessment activities, so this new functionality increases its value in our environment."

The ArcSight ESM connector is only one example of many Agiliance connectors that enable large organizations to feed data into Agiliance RiskVision, resulting in a single point of view for an organization's threat, vulnerability and risk posture. To assure that an organization's investment in security tools is sustainable, the OpenGRC™ by Agiliance Community brings together a consortium of service, technology and content providers that provide end-user organizations automated-yet cost-effective-solutions to address their ever-increasing risk, compliance and security challenges.


"Many large organizations have to deal with a diverse set of security tools and are often struggling to share information across these systems," said Arti Raman, vice president of products and alliances at Agiliance. "Our mission at Agiliance is to offer an open platform that enables self-sufficiency, automation from data-to-dashboard systems, efficiency from out-of-the-box integration and expertise from embedded knowledge."

The ArcSight ESM connector for Agiliance RiskVision is priced at U.S. $15,000 and is available immediately. Please visit http://www.agiliance.com/products/connectors.html for more details.
