DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 25 – HAWK Network Defense, the manufacturer of “EyeCon,” a revolutionary new SIEM Technology Platform, has joined Sourcefire’s Technology Partner Program. Through integration with Sourcefire’s eStreamer API, EyeCon can deliver rich security content to protect against advanced persistent threats. EyeCon will leverage all of Sourcefire’s context-rich data set, including event data from the Sourcefire Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS), Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and FireAMP advanced malware protection.
The ability to collect, aggregate and correlate this information in real-time is a challenge for many SIEM vendors on the market today. EyeCon’s revolutionary grid architecture with distributed correlation engines has the ability to handle big data with ease. EyeCon’s intelligent learning algorithms and logic, along with its onion-layered scoring system, delivers accurate, actionable security intelligence to security practitioners of all levels.
“The ability to leverage Sourcefire’s eStreamer API to deliver more robust security analytics into EyeCon’s intelligent logic will deliver true actionable intelligence on network threats while providing deep forensics capability,” said David Harris, CEO of HAWK
“We’re excited to welcome HAWK into our Technology Partner Program,” said Douglas Hurd, director of technical alliances for Sourcefire. “Their next-generation SEIM technology offers advanced correlation capabilities and scalability, making them a real asset for our large enterprise customers and service provider partners that are seeking to address the security challenges big data and multi-tenancy present.”

Researchers from the Suddhananda Engineering and Research Centre in Bhubaneswar, India developed a job scheduling system, which they call Service Level Agreement (SLA) scheduling, that is meant to achieve acceptable methods of resource provisioning similar to that of potential in-house systems. They combined that with an on-demand resource provisioner to ensure utilization optimization of virtual machines.
