The new version of Adaptive Security Analyzer (ASA) has been released recently by Privacyware (http://www.privacyware.com). The company is a developer of security data analysis and threat prevention software. The software solution that helps system administrators and security and compliance personnel reveal, understand and repair unwanted system activity, internal and external security and policy violations, malware infection and other attacks and intrusions. The program inspects security and system information generated from a variety of sources such as network firewalls, web proxies, Security Information Management applications (SIM/SIEM), and server and desktop operating systems as well as database transactions and other critical logs.

    Privacyware CTO, Dr. Konstantin Malkov, stated: "Based on a series of extensive pilot implementations and development with some of the world's leaders in IT Security and other verticals, we've re-architected from bottom-to-top the algorithms and techniques that comprise our analytic engine and tested dozens of models pertinent to http requests, web proxy, file access, network reconnaissance, privileged access and many more. "Our development efforts have resulted in dramatically improved calculation speeds, processing capacity and analytic effectiveness and demonstrated ASA's special ability to discover and provide insight regarding activity vital to assuring the security and peak performance of critical systems."

    In addition, Privacyware CEO Greg Salvato, said: "Identifying threats and unauthorized activity among rapidly growing volumes of security-related data is an urgent issue for administrators charged with monitoring and maintaining the availability and integrity of computing infrastructures. ASA is unique because it identifies not just explicitly defined policy violations and misuse, but all suspicious and unusual activity."

    The new solution is implemented as a "snap-in" to the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and runs on Windows desktop and server operating systems. ASA supports syslog, .csv, .txt and other formatted data as well as those stored in MS SQL, MySQL, and Oracle databases (under both Windows and UNIX platforms). ASA is compatible with leading SIM/SIEM solutions from vendors such as netForensics, Sensage, Cisco, LogLogic, and Quest Software and includes pre-built models created particularly for Juniper, Cisco, Check Point and Microsoft ISA Server logs.

    The company is an innovative developer of security information analytics and threat prevention software. Privacyware security data analytics products enable enterprise security and compliance personnel to more thoroughly understand the environments for which they are responsible and to more effectively reveal and comprehend malicious and/or deviant activity.
