NitroSecurity Introduces MARS Migration Program Rescuing Cisco`s Marooned SIEM Customers

Custom Tailored Program Preserves Multi-Vendor Security Solutions Demanded by
Security-Focused IT Organizations

PORTSMOUTH, N.H.--(Business Wire)--
NitroSecurity, Inc, the industry leader in high performance security information
and compliance management solutions, today announced a new MARS Migration
Program for organizations impacted by Cisco`s new policy on event source
support. The program offers users of Cisco`s Security Monitoring, Analysis and
Response System (MARS), a widely deployed Security Information and Event
Management (SIEM) platform, a viable option to continue the multi-vendor
security architectures organizations need to keep pace with the accelerating
threat and compliance environment.

Industry sources have confirmed that Cisco has begun informing its customers of
a freeze on MARS support for most non-Cisco event sources and is encouraging
customers to find an alternative for log collection and event analysis for
non-Cisco event sources. Under the MARS Migration program, NitroSecurity will
perform a free customized analysis of an organization`s current infrastructure
and provide a custom tailored technology and financial solution, including
credits for existing MARS systems, to migrate to NitroView, the industry`s first
and only content-aware SIEM platform.

Unlike legacy SIEM solutions whose slower performance limits information
visibility to standard network device and server logs, NitroView drills deep and
monitors all traffic on the network up to the application layer, protocol use
and individual sessions. Using patented data storage and management technology
that smashes performance barriers plaguing other SIEM providers, NitroView is
able to collect and manage billions of events, logs, network activity flows, and
even application content-while maintaining the real-time analytics that are
required for rapid incident response.

"The requirements around SIEM are radically changing," said Jon Oltsik,
principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Large organizations need a
platform that can help them address new security risks, analyze historical
trends, support internal corporate governance initiatives and meet regulatory
requirements. To accomplish these goals, SIEM platforms must feature massive
scalability, strong analytics, content-awareness and broad support for
heterogeneous IT assets. Moving forward, it is imperative that large
organizations choose SIEM vendors like NitroSecurity with products that offer
all these capabilities today and commit to continue to do so into the future."
