BOSTON, Nov. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- empow - whose
next generation SIEM can be managed by only one security analyst -
today announced that its i-SIEM has been recognized as a Trust
Award finalist in the Best SIEM Solution category for the 2020 SC
Awards. The finalists and winners for the Trust Awards are chosen
by an expert panel of judges with extensive knowledge and
experience in the cybersecurity industry. Winners will be announced
at the SC Awards ceremony on February
25, 2020 in San
Francisco.
"The cybersecurity vendor space is growing ever more crowded,
but this year's Trust Award finalists have differentiated
themselves by offering best-in-class capabilities and user-friendly
experiences," said Illena Armstrong,
VP, editorial, SC Media. "For this reason, empow has earned its
place among the top solution providers in its category."
"We're excited to be named a finalist by the SC Awards," said
Avi Chesla, Founder and CEO of
empow. "Today SIEM solutions require a substantial security team to
manage, as analysts are inundated with false positives and the need
to write manual correlation rules to address new attacks, often by
the thousands. Our i-SIEM uses AI to automate logs analysis,
creating a proactive cybersecurity ecosystem without the need for
human generated rules, dramatically lowering the burden on the
security team. This makes it a natural choice especially for
mid-sized organizations who otherwise simply cannot effectively
manage a SIEM."
empow's strategic and commercial partnership with leading data
search company Elastic further makes its i-SIEM the NG-SIEM of
choice for Elastic users, providing seamless, fast time to
deployment and a low total cost of ownership thanks to a '2 in 1'
cost pricing of the empow i-SIEM and Elastic Platinum
subscription.
"Every new year brings with it an unpredictable mix of adversity
and opportunity for information security professionals," added
Armstrong of SCMedia. "In 2019, we watched as software supply chain
attacks grew bigger and bolder, DNS hijacking campaigns threatened
the very integrity of the internet, and targeted ransomware attacks
disrupted the operations of cities, school districts and
organizations in the health care, industrial and transportation
sectors. Through it all, this year's SC Awards finalists found ways
to break boundaries, overcome challenges and contribute fresh new
ideas to the world of cybersecurity."
Now in its 23rd year, SC Awards is recognized as the industry
gold standard of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals,
products and services. With the awards, SC Media recognizes the
achievements of cybersecurity professionals in the field, the
innovations happening in the vendor and service provider
communities, and the vigilant work of government, commercial and
nonprofit entities. Vendors and service providers who offer a
product and/or service for the commercial, government, educational,
nonprofit or other industries are eligible for the SC Awards' Trust
Award category.
