\"AlienVault<\/p>\n

U.S. Network and Media provider AT&T announced a new, standalone cybersecurity division called AT&T Cybersecurity. It combines SIEM solution provider AlienVault, which AT&T acquired in 2018, with other AT&T cybersecurity divisions.

AT&T proclaimed AlienVault CEO Barmak Meftah as leader of the new division. <\/span>In a blog post<\/span><\/a>, Mr. Meftah implies the three cybersecurity divisions plan to merge their solutions and capabilities to form a new singular solution: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the acquisition of AlienVault, AT&T Cybersecurity will continue to deliver on our joint vision to address these \u2018seams\u2019 and uniquely bring together people, process, and technology through a \u2018software defined\u2019 unified security management platform. A platform that integrates, automates and orchestrates a wide spectrum of best-of-breed point security products.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy abstracting much of the management of individual security products, we are automating deployment and ongoing operations, and operating them as a single <\/span>unified<\/b> solution\u201d [emphasis his]. <\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, AT&T officially confirmed after the initial announcements it plans to retain the AlienVault brand. However, what this means in practical terms of sales is not apparent at time of writing. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Birth of AT&T Cybersecurity in Context <\/b><\/h3>\n

The combination of AT&T\u2019s cybersecurity divisions and their recent acquisition AlienVault could create a profound effect on the SIEM market. Technology research\u00a0giant Gartner named AT&T a challenger in their <\/span>2018 Managed Security Services Magic Quadrant Report<\/span><\/a>. Meanwhile, they recognized AlienVault in their <\/span>2018 SIEM Magic Quadrant<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Further, Mr. Meftah notes in his blog post AlienVault and AT&T provide threat intelligence services. AlienVault offers its Open Threat Exchange, a crowdsourced threat exchange, whereas AT&T has its own service. Before their acquisition by AT&T, AlienVault announced the addition of <\/span>EDR<\/span><\/a> capabilities to their SIEM solutions. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, you can read more about the creation of <\/span>AT&T Cybersecurity<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and the future of AlienVault\u00a0here.<\/span><\/p>\n
