HP has announced its expanded Enterprise Security Solutions portfolio, designed to help enterprises establish and execute a comprehensive security strategy that addresses threats and potential liabilities resulting from the rise of mobility, cloud computing and social media.

Cyber threats have become more sophisticated, persistent and unpredictable. New research conducted on behalf of HP demonstrates that the volume and complexity of security threats has continued to escalate. More than 50 per cent of senior business and technology executives surveyed believe that security breaches in their organisations have increased during the last year. Nearly 30 per cent responded that they experienced a security breach by unauthorised internal access, while 20 per cent said they had experienced an external breach.

The HP Enterprise Security Solutions framework addresses this need by delivering overarching information security management capabilities coupled with modern security operations centres and technologies that provide actionable security intelligence.

“Organisations today are quickly realising the importance of a comprehensive risk management strategy to securing assets across their corporate infrastructures and protecting corporate reputation,” said Jan Zadak, executive vice president, Global Sales and Enterprise Marketing, HP. “HP’s extended security portfolio provides the protection that enterprises require, while providing customers, employees, partners and consumers with instant access to the right enterprise assets without compromising risk.”

HP is now offering a one-day Enterprise Security Discovery Workshop based on the HP Enterprise Security Solutions framework, which enables clients to identify the interaction required between information management and security operations. By combining market-leading capabilities from ArcSight, an HP company; Fortify, an HP company; and HP TippingPoint, HP has established a foundation for the unified approach to enterprise security. The HP Security Intelligence and Risk Management platform offers advanced correlation, application protection and network defence technology to protect applications and IT infrastructures from sophisticated cyber threats.

To help clients use this transformational approach to risk management, HP announced a full complement of new risk- and security-related offerings:

HP ArcSight Express 3.0 delivers market-leading correlation, log management and user-activity monitoring to improve an organisation’s ability to rapidly detect and prevent cyber threats.

HP Reputation Security Monitor provides HP ArcSight clients with an advanced, real-time list of known bad IP and DNS addresses to combat attacks that exploit web application vulnerabilities.

HP Fortify Software Security Centre suite is the only comprehensive application security testing solution available on-premises or on-demand that scales to identify vulnerabilities in thousands of applications.

HP TippingPoint Web Application Digital Vaccine (WebAppDV) 2.0 service extends protection to commercial and custom-built online applications with real-time identification of vulnerabilities in web applications, and delivery of virtual patches until a fix can be developed.

HP gives Instant-On Enterprises the power to protect data, defend resources, manage risk and drive innovation.
