SolarWinds Security Observability
Gain visibility across your environments to reduce the mean time needed to detect, alert, and remediate security incidents with Security Observability
Security Observability helps organizations better understand their environments' complexities and security threats while providing real-time visibility to help prevent, detect, and remediate security issues. With the security integration into SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted, you can now see security-related events across networks, infrastructures, applications, and databases. It provides powerful observability capabilities to help customers identify risks, vulnerabilities, and compliance status on a dedicated security dashboard, helping teams focus on critical issues without drowning in telemetry data streams across complex and distributed infrastructures. This also helps break down IT silos and fosters cross-domain correlation and collaboration.
The vulnerability and risk dashboard can provide a new perspective to identify infrastructure-related risks and vulnerabilities. As a result, you can better comprehend the severity of a situation and prioritize and reduce risk in important assets. Risk-based prioritization is the benchmark for managing mounting cyber threats and remediating the most significant risks.
The dashboard’s risk score is calculated based on each node’s CVE scoring, and the infrastructure score is calculated by aggregating the node scores.
With the addition of Security Event Manager (SEM) and Access Rights Manager (ARM) into SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted, customers can now monitor their security and compliance status on a dedicated security dashboard. You can view real-time security-related events, metrics, and activities in a correlated, node-based events dashboard, allowing you to identify and act on suspicious activities.
Additionally, this dashboard can provide insights into firmware vulnerabilities, SolarWinds® Patch Manager updates, and details on saved queries from SEM.
With the SEM security dashboard, you gain more insight into key security activities and metrics. Using summary data of generic saved searches from Security Event Manager enables IT teams to check compliance data in one place for PCI or HIPPA, among others, use real-time event correlation to identify and act on suspicious network activities. All actions are initiated based on severity levels (OK/critical/warning).
With Security Observation, you can say hello to node-based correlation of SEM and ARM compliance and events data. If you place SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted nodes under SEM and ARM management, relevant widgets will appear on the node details page.
Security Event Manager will provide event data available for all nodes it supports, while Access Rights Manager can provide data for specific Active Directory (AD) nodes. Once Security Observation is integrated with these tools, you can display all relevant widgets on the detail pages of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted nodes and even run SEM/ARM.
Security Observability also offers increased efficiency and security. Since it collects and presents security-related events from your networks, infrastructures, applications, and databases in a single tool, you can quickly identify risks, track data, and take action to prevent issues from escalating or occurring in the first place. Plus, Security Observability can combine metrics and data from tools in a single pane of glass, offering thorough insight into your overall technology environment and helping you pinpoint and resolve problems faster.

Do you find yourself asking…
Security Observability involves collecting and aggregating performance metrics to spot trends and existing or potential problems. It can monitor activities across your organization’s networks, systems, and applications to help you gain valuable security insights. This integration can gather and analyze logs from software programs, network activity, and user actions, providing insights into overall system health and helping you identify security threats, vulnerabilities, and suspicious activities in real time.
You can delegate your observability solution to collecting and centralizing performance insights like latency and downtime, event information, and log data, saving you from manually pulling logs and metrics on system by system. This proactive approach can help your security team detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents more effectively, ultimately improving your overall security posture.
