Information Security Risk Control and Management
Strengthen your information security risk management with SEM tools
Set up real-time alerts and automate threat response
SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM) helps you monitor all events in real time and mitigate cybersecurity risks and threats proactively. Using SEM, you can set up rules to generate automated responses to particular events and security threats. For instance, you can block suspicious IPs/hosts, kill unauthorized applications, disable compromised accounts, block USB devices, and more. With SEM’s real-time monitoring and alert generation capabilities, you can quickly identify forced attempts to bypass corporate firewalls, detect misconfigurations, malware, and other security risks. All these capabilities can help significantly improve your security posture.

Leverage out-of-the-box compliance reporting templates
With frequent changes in data security and privacy laws, compliance has become a moving target. Organizations often lack tools and expertise to keep track of changing IT compliance requirements. SolarWinds Security Event Manager can help simplify compliance reporting for your organization. Unlike other information security risk management tools, SEM is built with integrated compliance reporting. SEM offers out-of-the-box reporting for HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, ISO, NCUA, FISMA, FERPA, GLBA, NERC CIP, GPG13, DISA STIG, and more. You can also modify these reports for your routine security audits and reviews.
Monitor sensitive files and directories to prevent data-loss
SolarWinds Security Event Manager is designed to help you detect any changes to key files, folders, and registry settings with its file integrity monitoring feature. This feature alerts you whenever there is a suspicious activity leading to modification of important file attributes or metadata. The SolarWinds SEM information security risk management module tracks all file audit events including changes to files in Active Directory and important file servers and also maintains a clear chain of custody of the data. By monitoring user activity before and after these events, you can easily identify any malicious activity. Further, you can define rules for automated threat remediation against any suspicious chain of events.
Rein in USB usage in your corporate network
Most information security risk management tools fail to provide effective protection against insider threats. A small USB device can potentially disrupt an entire corporate network. These devices also increase the risk of data loss and breaches as often there is very limited visibility and control over such data transfers within a secured network. SolarWinds SEM includes USB Defender, which monitors the usage of USB devices such as pen drives, mass storage media devices on phones, cameras, and wireless networking devices. You can configure SEM to restrict usage of USBs in your network and can also remotely eject a USB device to prevent data loss.

Do you find yourself asking…
An information security risk is the likelihood and potential consequences of a security attack, vulnerability, or threat. An information security risk refers to the damage that could occur to an IT system. Unlike a concrete danger zooming towards your IT system, a “risk” reflects the possibility of damage. For this reason, it’s easier to prevent an information theft security risk than it is to fight back against an in-progress security event.
Any incident that could potentially interfere with an IT system, service, or network is an information security risk. An information security risk could be monetary, which means the risk’s consequences will cost your organization financially. An information security risk could also be non-monetary, causing your organization to lose its reputational, legal, political, or strategic status.
Information security risks could come from anywhere—they could be associated with the operation of your IT system, the environment in which those IT systems operate, and the unauthorized use, sharing, modification, disruption, or destruction of information and your information system. These damages could negatively affect your organization’s assets, operations, individuals, and beyond.
