TriGeo Network Security is a United States-based provider of security information and event management (SIEM) technology. The company targets mid-market banks, credit unions, retailers, government agencies, utilities, media and entertainment companies, and healthcare providers with a SIEM appliance that delivers real-time log management and automated network defense - from the perimeter to the endpoint.

TriGeo’s appliance-based solution combines security event management, security information management and log management and intelligence into a single device.

History

TriGeo was founded in 2001 to help mid-market companies proactively protect networks and data in real time from internal and external threats.
The company’s first major commercial product release debuted in January 2002 to help users automatically identify, notify and respond to suspicious behavior, policy violations, and network attacks. TriGeo’s Security Information Manager (SIM) solution has evolved since its debut, introducing its 64bit SIM appliance and providing real-time analysis for network infrastructure devices such as deep packet inspection firewalls, intrusion detection and intrusion prevention data. In addition, TriGeo SIM has added reporting capabilities for emerging compliance mandates like Sarbanes-Oxley, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

Focus

TriGeo SIM is sold exclusively to mid-market organizations and targets a variety of businesses including banks, credit unions, retailers, government agencies, utilities, education, media and entertainment companies, and healthcare providers. The company also offers several add-on solutions including its InDepth, InSight and USB-Defender products, which support additional functionality and security.
Security Information Manager (SIM) addresses industry-specific remediation requirements by monitoring firewalls, intrusion detection systems, intrusion prevention systems, routers, switches, VPNs, servers, anti-virus software, and workstation activity. By providing broad device coverage and multiple device event correlation, SIM is able to detect anomalous behavior with a high degree of accuracy and a low false positive rate. Once an unauthorized or suspicious activity is identified, SIM instantly notifies and transmits security alerts via e-mail, cell phones, pagers, and handheld devices. Also, the solution can be configured to automatically respond by blocking an IP address, routing traffic, quarantining a workstation from the rest of the network or controlling applications and access control services based on user-defined rules and active defense policies.
TriGeo InDepth gives businesses the ability to forensically search through log data from multiple devices for specific information and events. Powered by Splunk™, InDepth combines log aggregation and archiving with real-time event correlation and proactive response.
TriGeo InSight, powered by Qliktech, is a business intelligence solution that gives companies the ability to drill down into and correlate log data to discover new threats and improve network visibility.
TriGeo’s USB-Defender blocks unauthorized USB drive and device use and alerts administrators to USB violations, helping prevent the theft of corporate data and the introduction of external viruses onto the network.
