AUSTIN, Texas, May 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SolarWinds (NYSE:SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced the launch of SolarWinds^® Security Event Manager (SEM). The simple, powerful, and affordable SIEM solution is designed to help IT and security professionals strengthen their security posture by providing increased visibility into cybersecurity activity.

SEM, which replaces SolarWinds Log & Event Manager, can be used to collect and normalize event logs generated across on-premises networks and systems into a central location, detect and protect against advanced cyberthreats, respond to cyberincidents with unique user-defined actions, and help demonstrate regulatory and industry compliance. The solution automates many SIEM activities to help IT and security professionals accelerate threat detection, response, and reporting—pulling from an integrated threat intelligence feed that quickly identifies known bad actors in event log data.

“In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, IT and security professionals are faced with many challenges, including threats that keep pace with network growth and complexities, a continual security skills gap, and growing compliance pressures,” stated Brandon Shopp, vice president, Product Strategy, security, SolarWinds. “We’ve launched SolarWinds SEM to help mitigate these challenges, further delivering on our promise of making IT, and IT security, look easy. While security itself is complex, a SIEM tool does not have to be complicated to be effective. SEM delivers comprehensive, centralized threat detection without the requirement of additional resources, while automating security processes for scale.”

Key new enhancements include:

• Events Console, the new HTML5 interface that provides real-time and historical viewing, searching, and filtering of log data for the intuitive identification of potentially malicious activity
• Rules Console, to build and manage correlation rules in order to identify, alert on, and automatically respond to potential security weaknesses or cyberattacks
• Node & Connector Management Console, to easily add new log sources and manage existing sources
• File Integrity Monitoring Filter Exclusions, to help reduce noise associated with file integrity monitoring and improve threat detection accuracy
• Amazon^® AWS^® Deployment, for easy cloud deployment, if desired
