Recently, analyst firm KuppingerCole released their 2022 Leadership Compass for Intelligent SIEM Platforms, which named ArcSight an Overall Leader, as well as a Product, Innovation, and Market Leader. They praised ArcSight for its unified SecOps platform, its natively integrated SOAR, and its advanced threat analytics, among other things. Furthermore, ArcSight scored a perfect 5/5 for its Functionality, Usability, Financial Strength, and Ecosystem.
This recognition serves as a compliment to other analyst and user recognition that ArcSight has received in the past 6 months. In August 2021, analyst firm GigaOm released their GigaOm Radar for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Solutions, which named ArcSight not only as a Leader, but as an innovative Leader that is outperforming in the SIEM Market. GigaOm highlighted ArcSight’s well-defined strategy and unified platform, and they gave ArcSight high scores in Automation, Data Enrichment, Convergence, Capability, Scalability, and Total Cost of Ownership. Micro Focus was placed in the “Innovation / Platform Play” segment of the Radar, and marked as an Outperformer.
ArcSight Innovation and Development
This praise comes during a period of heavy advancement for the ArcSight platform. In the past two years, ArcSight has:
- Deployed powerful, unsupervised machine learning to conduct advanced behavioral analytics that monitors for insider and other elusive threats
- Introduced a new web-based UI with modern, customizable dashboards that spans the ArcSight platform
- Delivered an incredibly fast compliance, log management, and threat hunting solution powered by supervised machine learning, and that simplifies customer data storage within ArcSight
- Acquired and deployed a comprehensive Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform to act as a native, free-of-charge SOAR solution within the ArcSight platform
- Heavily incorporated the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, introducing dedicated MITRE ATT&CK dashboards and inputs across ArcSight
- Expanded its cloud presence with cloud-native ArcSight deployments, as well as out-of-the-box Connector support for 50+ cloud and SaaS applications and platforms
- Launched the ArcSight SaaS (SIEM as a Service), which offers behavioral analytics, intelligent threat hunting, log management, and compliance capabilities in a scalable, no hassle environment.
The User Experience: Gartner Peer Insights “Customers’ Choice”
