  SenSage And The Rise of Security Decision Support

  Tools designed for security event management (SEM) / security operations may have outgrown their usefulness. Risks associated with sophisticated threats, insider violations and compliance guidelines means that larger customers must amass, retain and analyze more bulk audit data over greater periods of time against a larger number of sources. These characteristics can go beyond the capabilities and proficiency of homegrown or commercial SEM transaction-centric approaches. ESG believes the combination of new requirements and mismatched tools has created a more evolved security management platform - Security Decision Support Systems (SDSS) focused on data management and analytic features to extend audit, investigation, and compliance reporting activities. SDSS may seem like a new concept, but there are already examples available such as SenSage and its Security Compliance Bundle featuring EMC Centera.
