Integrated Threat Intelligence
AlienVault’s Threat Intelligence subscription maximizes the effectiveness of any security monitoring program by providing regularly updated correlation directives, intrusion detection signatures, response guidance, and much more. These constant updates enable the USM platform to analyze the mountain of event data from all of your data sources, and tell you exactly what are the most important threats facing your network right now, and what to do about them. Our threat experts spend countless hours researching the latest exploits, malware strains, attack techniques, and malicious IPs, so you don’t have to. We incorporate this expertise into our extensive and growing library of customizable correlation directives that ship with the USM platform, eliminating the need for you to conduct your own research and write your own correlation rules, giving you the ability to detect and respond to threats on day one.
The AlienVault Labs Security Research Team also curates the Open Threat Exchange (OTX), the world’s first truly open threat intelligence community that enables collaborative defense with open access to collaborative research on emerging threats. OTX integrates with USM Appliance and enables everyone in the OTX community to actively collaborate, strengthening their own defenses while helping others do the same.

Ownership of the built-in data sources and management platform, coupled with unmatched security expertise delivered by the AlienVault Labs Security Research Team, provides effective security controls and seamlessly integrated threat intelligence for your on-premises environment.
Within minutes of installing the USM Appliance, our asset discovery features - Active Network Scanning, Passive Network Monitoring, Asset Inventory - will provide you visibility into the assets on your network, what software and services are installed on them, how they’re configured, and any potential vulnerabilities and active threats being executed against them.
Maintain Control Over Your Infrastructure
AlienVault USM Appliance is designed to help you monitor your physical and virtual infrastructure. It is designed for organizations that need something you can install, manage, and fully control in your own data center.
USM Appliance Sensors are deployed to your offices, data centers, and other on-premises locations to scan, monitor, and collect data from your network to provide you the visibility needed to monitor your on-premises environment effectively.
Achieve Comprehensive Compliance Management without the Headaches
IT compliance management is often a manual process that requires knowledge of your assets, log data collection, data centralization, intrusion detection, log analysis and reporting. USM Appliance delivers a single platform to help you manage compliance initiatives – saving you from the time, cost, and complexity of integrating multiple disparate technologies.
Quickly get answers to critical IT compliance management questions such as:
- Where do your critical assets live, how are they configured, and how are they segmented from the rest of your network?
- Who accesses these resources?
- What are the vulnerabilities on my assets, have they been resolved, and how important are they?
- What constitutes your network baseline and what is considered normal or acceptable?

More Than Just a SIEM: It’s Unified Security Management!
Traditional SIEM solutions promise to provide what you need to detect threats – but the path to get there is one most resource-constrained IT teams can’t afford. Traditional SIEM solutions integrate and analyze the data produced by other security technologies that are already deployed, but unfortunately, many mid-market enterprise organizations don’t have those other technologies deployed yet!
AlienVault provides a different path. In addition to the functionality of a traditional SIEM, the AlienVault USM Appliance includes the essential security capabilities needed to effectively monitor your on-premises network in a single, unified platform. And AlienVault’s focus on ease of use and ease of deployment makes it the perfect fit for resource-constrained organizations.
