CrossTec Uses Third Brigade

OTTAWA -- Third Brigade (www.thirdbrigade.com), a security software company that specializes in host intrusion prevention systems, today announced its HIPS product has been integrated with CrossTec Activeworx Security Center, a high value, low cost SIEM software solution. Activeworx excels at normalizing, correlating, and reporting on multi-vendor security information.

“For CrossTec customers, Third Brigade provides powerful host-level protection, and detailed security information that fuels the CrossTec SIEM,” remarked Jeff Richards, VP of CrossTec’s Security Division. “For Third Brigade customers, the CrossTec SIEM provides the ability to consolidate and correlate large volumes of host security log data with other security and event information. By combining the two solutions, organizations will be more secure, and have a better view of their entire security posture.”

Customers that want to leverage investments in both CrossTec SIEM and Third Brigade HIPS, can do so without having to incur costs and effort related to custom integration or support.

“We’re thrilled that CrossTec has recognized the tremendous synergy between SIEM and HIPS,” said Brian O’Higgins, CTO of Third Brigade. “Our host intrusion prevention system provides critical protection for endpoints, and is a rich and valuable source of detailed, host-level security event information. Third Brigade provides the response/remediation mechanism that is a key ‘leadership’ feature for vendors in the SIEM market, according to analysts.”
