2010-03-19 13:08:07 -

ArcSight, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARST), a leading global provider of security and compliance management solutions that protect enterprises and government agencies, today announced a referral partnership with security and business consultants Secure IT Experts.

“ArcSight shares our vision of a holistic security posture—protecting information across systems, applications and people,” said Mark Rasch, founder at Secure IT Experts. “Our customers face a number of challenges—from outright cyber attacks to finding and fixing vulnerabilities to meeting regulatory compliance requirements. We believe that Enterprise Threat and Risk Monitoring is essential to strengthening our customers’ defenses against threat and risk.”

Enterprise Threat and Risk Monitoring addresses the need for monitoring beyond the network infrastructure to find threats and risks across the entire enterprise from both within the

firewall and into the cloud.

Enterprise Threat and Risk Monitoring protects enterprises against threats and risk across all parts of the enterprise, not only malicious external attacks on the perimeter, malware attacks, network security incidents, and compliance violations, but also against.

- User activity that involves role, entitlement, or policy violations,
- Sensitive and privacy data usage that is abnormal or unauthorized, and
- Critical transactions that are fraudulent or violate segregation of duty policies.

“The professionals at Secure IT Experts are well-known and trusted consultants on cyber security. They are known for tackling difficult security issues and complex network architectures,” said Jeff Scheel, senior vice president of business development at ArcSight. “With the rise in cybercrime and cyberattacks, and the associated regulations to address it, we expect that our customers will benefit greatly from their expertise in privacy, security and regulatory compliance issues.”
