ArcSight Announces ArcSight Express, the "Security Expert in a Box," to Automate Security for Mid-Size Organizations

New ArcSight Express Appliance Family Automates Security Operations and Delivers
Pre-Built Security Expertise on Low Cost, Easy-to-Use Correlation and Log
Management Appliances
CUPERTINO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
ArcSight Inc. (NASDAQ:ARST), a leading global provider of compliance and
security management solutions that protect enterprises and government agencies,
today announced its new ArcSight Express family of compliance and security
monitoring appliances targeted at the needs of mid-size organizations with
limited resources. Leveraging expertise and insights gained from serving over
1,200 organizations (including clients of MSSP customers), ArcSight Express
includes the correlation rules, dashboards, and reports that matter in the
protection of mid-size organizations. ArcSight Express eliminates the need for
in-house security experts to build custom threat detection rules, dashboards,
and reports as is the norm for customers of other security information and event
management (SIEM) products focused on this market segment.

"Large organizations have more training, security skills, and technology
safeguards in place, than smaller organizations have. This is a problem since
mid-market companies are just as vulnerable as enterprise firms," said Jon
Oltsik, Principal Analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group. "With this
announcement, ArcSight is marrying its enterprise experience with mid-market
requirements for ease-of-use, packaging, and product pricing."

"ArcSight Express has given us deeper visibility into our IT environment. We
have improved our overall security by understanding our risks better. ArcSight
Express' automation also helps us demonstrate compliance more efficiently. Now
we can readily generate compliance reports without the need to manually sift
through mounds of data. ArcSight is the cornerstone of our compliance and
security program," said Candy Alexander, CISO at Long Term Care Partners.

ArcSight Express is tailored to organizations with little in-house security
expertise and looking for increased compliance and security at affordable prices
and reduced administrative requirements. Many businesses are unable to staff a
dedicated security operations center. In these firms, IT personnel may have
multiple roles, and cannot afford to dedicate their time to monitoring the
network. With ArcSight Express, security incident detection and notification is
automated and IT personnel are able to focus on responding to important security
incidents.

"There are many mid-market organizations that have similar security concerns as
large enterprises but they don`t have the equivalent number of skilled resources
to deploy. These companies are faced with the challenge of protecting their
businesses with far fewer resources," said Kevin Dawson, Vice President, Sales
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada based ISA. "With ArcSight Express, our customers
benefit from industry leading enterpriseevent correlation in a simplified,
easy-to-use appliance with pre-built expert rules available at a range of price
points that can meet their budget."

ArcSight Express includes an ArcSight Express correlation appliance for
real-time correlation, an ArcSight Express log management appliance for
long-term storage, and built-in expert correlation rules, dashboards, and
reports needed to secure the IT infrastructures found in mid-size organizations.
ArcSight Express works with the ArcSight SmartConnector family that collects
event data in native format from more than 275 devices and applications, and
normalizes the data into a common format for correlation and analysis.

"ArcSight SIEM products are solid and tested in hundreds of the world`s largest
enterprises today," ArcSight CEO Tom Reilly said. "We are now taking our years
of experience with advanced deployments and packaging a solution to address the
needs of a much broader market segment. For mid-size business with constrained
resources and budgets, ArcSight Express acts as their security expert, removing
the need for custom rule development, and automates security operations -
eliminating the need for a fully staffed 24x7 SOC, yet providing the automated
monitoring needed around the clock. We are excited to offer our new ArcSight
Express family for mid-size organizations looking to benefit from world-class
security expertise with our correlation and analysis capabilities at a fraction
of the cost."

The ArcSight Express family is available now and pricing starts at $45,000.
