About us
AlienVault's SIEM technology is deployed on more live networks than all other SIEM vendors combined. The creators of the leading Open Source Security Management tool - OSSIM - AlienVault's SIEM solution not only competes head-to-head with any SIEM in the market but also serves as a unique and disruptive integration framework, providing the de-facto standard for interoperability in the information security marketplace.
AlienVault's development model, fed by hundreds of developers and tens of thousands of testers across the world for over a decade, has resulted in a product with a 5 to 10 times higher functionality-to-cost ratio than any product in its category.
Why is AlienVault different?
There are of course a number of technical aspects of the AlienVault SIEM solution that set it apart from other products in the market. But, the primary point of departure from the pack is that it is open source.
Being open source allows AlienVault to manage the development of a solution that is far better aligned with user needs than purely proprietary alternatives. The AlienVault Open Source SIEM has been designed with the help and contributions of an entire ecosystem of users, developers and integrators. This collaboration has reduced development costs, and resulted in a solution designed from top to bottom based on users' requests. The result is a more effective and far less costly solution, without vendor lock-in or exorbitant licensing, support and maintenance costs.
The information security marketplace has long been a fractured and fractious place in which vendors of software and appliances seek market share and competitive advantage by locking users into proprietary solutions. The result is that many users are left with a hodge-podge of technologies that do not play well together.
AlienVault's philosophy is based on disrupting this vicious cycle of costly solutions and inherently vulnerable implementations. We are supporting a diverse and growing population of users who contribute customized log formats, detection and scanning rules, plug-ins, and other extensions that we then certify and return either in the form of new functionality or as data feeds. Through this open source information security ecosystem we are creating an integration framework that leverages both closed and open source solutions in seamless implementations. As a result, we achieve an unmatched range of integration which allows us to offer the highest value available in Security Management.
Whether you choose the open source OSSIM or the the industrial strength of AlienVault Professional SIEM you are joining the largest, most satisfied and fastest growing group of SEIM users on the planet.
