Released on Monday, April 20, 2009Novell Sentinel Now Certified by SAP to Interoperate with SAP
NetWeaver®
SAN FRANCISCO - April 20, 2009 - Novell today announced that its Novell®
Sentinel™ 6.1 security information event management (SIEM) product has
achieved SAP-certified integration with the SAP NetWeaver® technology
platform. For customers, the integration significantly reduces risk and
cuts the costs of managing security because IT administrators can
respond to critical situations as they occur.
According to Sally Hudson, analyst with IDC on regulatory compliance,
“IDC believes that as a result of the financial crisis, and the
calls for more regulation, there will ultimately be more regulatory
oversight. Data security, data leak prevention, IAM along with logging,
and security information and event management will be more important
over the forecast period.”
SIEM technologies analyze security event data in real time to identify
threats, produce reports and log data for compliance monitoring. Novell
Sentinel 6.1 simplifies security monitoring by enabling administrators
to manage information and alerts with an associated knowledge of the
identity of the user who triggered the alert.
“Our industry-leading compliance management solutions make it easier
to automate, validate and enforce IT controls in real time,” said Jim
Ebzery, senior vice president and general manager, Identity and Security
Management at Novell. “By integrating our SIEM solutions with the SAP®
solution-based environment, we are positioned to help companies further
leverage the governance, risk and compliance capabilities of SAP
solutions.”
As part of Novell's Compliance Management solutions, Novell Sentinel
offers the most scalable and effective real-time event analysis
available. Novell Sentinel is the industry’s only solution that ties
identities, systems and data together to deliver a centralized view of
business operations through an automated process that can stop
violations before they happen. The certified integration announced today
is Novell Sentinel 6.1 with the SAP BC-XAL 6.10 external interface for
alert management.
