Avnet Technology Solutions adds HP ArcSight Logger to its Enterprise Security Product Portfolio in the UK

Avnet Technology Solutions, the global IT solutions distributor and an operating group of Avnet, Inc., has extended its portfolio of enterprise security product offerings in the UK to include HP ArcSight Logger.  A leading universal log management solution, HP ArcSight Logger unifies search, report, alert and event management across multiple use cases including security, IT operations, application development and compliance. This latest addition to the Avnet HP portfolio means that business partners in the UK can now deliver a comprehensive solution made up of HP networking and enterprise security products from a single source.  Avnet becomes the only HP distribution partner in the UK with the full HP networking portfolio combined with HP enterprise security capabilities.

According to Andrew Stuart, HP business unit manager, Avnet Technology Solutions, UK, "Rogue employees, partners or criminal rings engaged in fraudulent activities only have to get it right once to create serious damage to an organisation's network and reputation.  With access to a broader suite of HP enterprise software products, including enterprise event log management, network intrusion and application security, our partners can competitively differentiate themselves and deliver solutions to enhance threat detection and improve security while driving additional networking sales supported by Avnet."

With HP ArcSight Logger, partners will be able to provide their customers with the ability to collect data from any device in any format from 350+ log-generating sources.  Interactive searches, comprehensive drill-down reports and real-time alerting allow detailed analysis. The solution can be used anywhere by diverse teams to log data needed for IT governance, risk and compliance (GRC), IT operations and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions.
