RSA, the Security Division of EMC, has announced a set of technologies designed to help organisations manage information risk and IT compliance programs by building an Advanced Security Operations (ASO) function.

The company said that the offering includes the Archer eGRC Platform, enVisiontechnology, FraudAction service and the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Suite, plus a range of services to help align security operations with business objectives as well as deliver an integrated offering.

The Advanced Security Operations offering is engineered to allow organisations to: minimise risks and associated costs by identifying information security vulnerabilities and threats; address security controls in the context of IT compliance requirements; and implement an incident-handling program.

RSA said that its Archer eGRC Platform is designed to serve as the foundation of an ASO function by providing a repository of threat and incident data and a centralised, automated incident handling process.

The enVision platform provides an integrated security information and event management (SIEM) and log management offering that collects, correlates and retains complete log records from every system that generates logs.

The company said that its Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Suite alerts organisations of data activity that is suspicious or violates organisational policy and the FraudAction service is engineered to provide a service geared toward stopping and preventing phishing, pharming and Trojan attacks that occur in the online channel.
