Customers who use both NarusInsight and the ArcSight ETRM platform will have the option of using a single interface, with ArcSight managing all alert activity, and the Narus portal providing advanced visibility into the attack preparation, propagation and result of the attack.

"Narus provides traffic intelligence in real time for cyber security and network monitoring," said Greg Oslan, CEO of Narus. "When integrated with ArcSight's market-leading ETRM platform, the combined solution enables our joint customers to detect traffic anomalies earlier, analyze these anomalies in detail, and respond to alerts about their networks more efficiently. Together, Narus and ArcSight enable our customers to see the changing behavior of their networks clearly and to take swift corrective actions against cyber attacks and other threats."
