HP unveils enterprise security tools

New releases address security issues across the cloud, mobile and social media platforms

HP has unveiled over a dozen new security products that aim to allow its customers to deal with security issues in the cloud, on mobile devices or across social media platforms.

The range, called Enterprise Security Solutions, uses several HP technologies including ArcSight, Fortify and TippingPoint.

Jan Zadak, executive vice president, global sales and enterprise marketing, HP, said: "Organisations today are quickly realising the importance of a comprehensive risk management strategy to secure assets across their corporate infrastructures and protect corporate reputation."

• ArcSight Express 3.0: delivers correlation, log management and user-activity monitoring to help a organisation detect and prevent cyber threats quickly;
• Reputation Security Monitor: enables ArcSight clients with an advanced, real-time list of known bad IP and DNS addresses to combat attacks that exploit vulnerabilities;
