Mazu, eIQnetworks integrate network behavior, security systems

EIQnetworks and Mazu Networks on Monday announced plans to integrate the former’s security information management system with the latter’s network behavior analysis system.

Slated for availability in August, this integration of eIQnetworks’ SecureVue with Mazu’s platform is designed to give enterprises a better view of network activity while also being able to monitor, identify and remediate threats, according to officials with both companies.

Mazu’s Profiler, which gives administrators a view into how users, applications, hosts and devices on the network behave, will be able to correlate its network traffic information with SecureVue’s log, vulnerability, configuration, asset and performance data, officials say. This will offer contextual information around each event or alert on the network so that operations and security threats can be more easily identified and, if necessary, isolated or remediated, they say.

The two companies say this integration approach is more effective than the products that attempt to do both network behavior analyst and security information management at once and end up doing both poorly.

SecureVue is priced at $49,995. Mazu Profiler starts at $34,999.
