More on Security Intelligence-as-a-Service (SILAS)

As previously mentioned in a blog of mine, we (HP Labs in collaboration with an HP business group) are making quick progress in implementing a Security Intelligence as a Service (SILAS) solution:


“SILAS (Security Intelligence-as-a-Service): this R&D work aims to build a service that provides strategic metrics and risk assessment to customers (potentially in a federated SOC environment). It gathers information from the IT infrastructure (including SIM/SEM solution, e.g. HP ArcSight, HP TippingPoint, etc.) and uses it to provide statistical analysis, support predictive risk assessment and what-if scenario analysis (via HP Security Analytics), as well as trends and benchmarking across customers. Security Analytics (predictive) models are instantiated with the data collected from the field, to provide accurate predictions and animate what-if scenarios”

One of the coming objectives is trialing this solution in a Security Operation Centre (SOC). We already have identified one but I am welcoming any expression of interest by potential customers/early adopters. In addition I welcome inputs about security risk metrics and potential what-if analysis scenarios that might be of interest/relevance. Currently we have identified a few core metrics and scenarios in the space of IAM, VTM and SOC Incident Management Processes but I am very keen in getting a wider portfolio. Please contact me for more information and/or provide your input.
