NetIQ Sentinel 7.2 achieves Cisco compatibility certification

NetIQ said that NetIQ Sentinel 7.2 has achieved Cisco compatibility certification with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) through integration with Cisco Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid). As a member of the Cisco Solution Partner Program, NetIQ is able to create and deploy solutions to enhance the capabilities, performance and management of the network to capture value in the Internet of Everything (IoE).

Now compatible with Cisco ISE, NetIQ Sentinel 7.2 – a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform – provides network and security analysts the ‘identity context’ they need to rapidly assess the significance of security events, decreasing the time required to detect, assess and respond to security events.

“The Internet of Everything changes the way we interact with technology and introduces greater complexity into the way we must manage the risk of breaches in an organisation,” said John Delk, vice president, Product Management.

“This integration between security monitoring and network management must be deeper and more sophisticated to reduce the time it takes to identify an attack and limit the damage an attacker can do. The combination of identity context, security intelligence and network management is a perfect example of how organisations can respond more quickly and effectively to a potential breach.”

The Cisco Solution Partner Program, part of the Cisco Partner Ecosystem, unites Cisco with third-party independent hardware and software vendors to deliver integrated solutions to joint customers. As a Solution Partner, NetIQ offers a complementary product offering and has started to collaborate with Cisco to meet the needs of joint customers.
