RSA, the Security Division of EMC, has announced its integration of the RSA enVision security information and event management (SIEM) solution with the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) platform. This integration can help organisations to enhance IT operations, enforce security policy and accelerate response to security threats by providing IT professionals with actionable event information that is designed to include the real-time, physical location of users, hosts and devices connected to wired and wireless networks.

Pulling data from the Cisco Mobility Services Engine, the RSA enVision platform is engineered to provide customers with data on the physical location of stationary and mobile users and how they are using computing and network resources inside and outside the workplace.

When integrated with the Cisco Mobility Services Engine, the RSA enVision platform allows customers to shorten the time-to-resolution for security investigations by providing the physical location of users and hosts along with the security alert. Providing the physical location to pinpoint security incidents eliminates manual steps cross-referencing IT assets with threat data.

“This integration with the Cisco Mobility Services Engine allows us to offer customers a smarter, more powerful way to evaluate risk and further enhance security,” said Chris Young, Senior Vice President of Products at RSA, The Security Division of EMC. “Alongside our parent company EMC, we look forward to continuing this kind of inventive collaboration with Cisco, by combining our products to create innovative solutions designed to help protect our customers while helping fortify the IT security ecosystem against a constantly changing threat landscape.”

Cisco and EMC have a long-standing strategic alliance, combining the strength of two global industry leaders in networking and storage solutions and management. The alliance is focused on helping customers consolidate, virtualise and automate their data centres to provide improved business responsiveness, increased efficiency, ease of management, protection and security.

The RSA enVision and Cisco Mobility Services Engine integration is generally available worldwide now via the RSA enVision platform.
