NitroView ESM is different from most information and event managers, using a patented high-speed data management architecture that enables it to effectively combine many security functions into a common user interface. This allows NitroView to extend beyond simple log and event collection, and support the direct monitoring of databases and applications, including full application decode for content monitoring.
NitroView is therefore able to collect, correlate and analyze more relevant security data than any other solution — including:
All supported information is correlated and analyzed together for maximum visibility into your infrastructure. while reducing the total cost and complexity of overall Information Security functions.
Ultimately, it's all about the data. Unrestricted data collection provides maximum visibility into your infrastructure for better security, and provides greater detail and depth to audit reports for total compliance. NitroView integrates multiple solutions into a single, powerful system. The result is a solution that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Security Information and Event Management, or SIEM, promises to fill several primary roles:
However, most first- and second- generation SIEMs fail to fulfill this promise. Why? Because effective security needs to look beyond the analysis of log files. Legacy SIEMs lack the performance and scalability to look deeper: network flow information, database activity, protocol activity, and application content — despite their importance to security and compliance — can not be supported by these older SIEMs.
While legacy SIEM solutions support collection, correlation, storage, and reporting, NitroView ESM goes further. NitroView provides visibility beyond logs, to monitor and protect your data. In addition, NitroView provides real-time incident response functions. This is possible because NitroView ESM has the performance required to analyze and report on billions of events, logs or flows in seconds — allowing you to quickly assess large amounts of data over long periods of time, and get the results almost instantaneously.
Collecting and analyzing log data, database transaction & session information, and application data together provides wide visibility—and is necessary to ensure total visibility to threats. True integration goes even further, providing a common interface for the management of the devices and agents that are responsible for that collection, and on the policies and taxonomies used for event and threat detection. This level of integration provides greater overall efficiency, and can decrease costs while improving security.
Compliance regulations require that you have equipment in place to prevent intrusions, and to directly protect sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or personal identification information. They also require that you collect logs from through your enterprise, review them daily, and store them in a secure fashion so that they can be used for audit purposes. This translates to the need for database monitoring and intrusion prevention, as well as for log collection and analysis. This requires the installation and operation of separate facilities to perform these highly related tasks.
By providing a common solution, with a single interface to all of these functions, the complexity and cost of your daily security operations is dramatically reduced. Protection is increased, and compliance is met.
