About The Customer

ArcSight is a leading provider of security and compliance management solutions that intelligently identify and mitigate business risk for enterprises, MSSPs and government agencies. ArcSight provides the industry’s only vendor-neutral solution for intelligent identification, prioritization and network response to external security attacks, insider threats and compliance breaches.

The Challenge

ArcSight’s award-winning ESM software acts as a command center for customers to discover and manage risks, correlate relevant event, operational and trend information, assess vulnerabilities and communicate compliance. The system collects and distills millions of enterprise-wide events down to the most critical information necessary for organizations to make informed decisions to protect their business and network assets. ArcSight required a flexible, low-maintenance, high-performance reporting tool that could be embedded into its software and easily integrate with many disparate data sources. It needed to report on thousands of devices, throughout widely distributed deployments, multiple firewalls and a wide assortment of third party vendor products. It also needed to be easy enough for customers of different technological skill levels to use, and still provide sophisticated graphical reports.

The Solution

ArcSight selected InetSoft’s Style Report™ Enterprise Edition software for their ESM solution primarily for its flexibility and wide range of functionality. Because Style Report is also a Java-based, openstandards solution, it was embedded into ESM’s Java platform, and easily integrated its many disparate data sources. With the Style Report Report Designer, ArcSight developers created hundreds of report queries and templates for their customers to use and customize with a simple point and click user interface. With Style Report, ArcSight customers have a wide variety of reporting options and formats including graphical reports containing multiple tables, charts, and graphs. Furthermore, reports in this selfservice environment, are easy to access, easy to generate, and are available on either an ad-hoc or scheduled basis. With Style Report software, ArcSight ESM provides dynamic and historic views into events such as external attacks and insider threats to assure system-wide health, security and maintain regulatory compliance.

Operational Impact
