AlienVault USM

AlienVault USM, short for Unified Security Management, is a security product now offered under the AT&T Cybersecurity name. It combines threat detection and compliance functions in one platform aimed at mid-size organisations.

What AlienVault USM offers

• Threat detection — monitoring built to spot modern attacks against an organisation's systems.
• Compliance support — tools to help meet security reporting requirements.
• Threat intelligence feeds — draws on research from AlienVault Labs and on the Open Threat Exchange, a crowd-sourced intelligence community.
• Managed services — the parent company also sells consulting, managed vulnerability and detection-and-response services.

Who it works with
