Identify and Respond to Security Events in Real Time
Rapid Threat Detection and Response
As threats grow more sophisticated, speed is essential. Risks need to be identified and addressed before damage can occur. Fortra's SIEM software, Event Manager, prioritizes security risks in real time. Automated escalation and streamlined incident response with security event management fast-tracks your response time and resolution.
Separate Critical Events from the Noise
Organizations today collect more security data than ever. Many security events require little to no attention, but serious issues require a rapid response. In that sea of security data, it's easy for important information to be overlooked. Event Manager reduces alert fatigue by identifying and escalating critical security events, enabling security analysts to respond quickly and effectively. In addition to default settings filtering out insignificant information or benign threats, users can fine tune the data they see, and add inclusion/exclusion rules about what exactly should be processed by Event Manager. Additionally, users can adjust within the dashboard itself, selecting and filtering out alerts that appear that they no longer want to view in the future.
Complete Audit Trail
Compliance mandates require organizations to prove they know what events are occurring in their environment. Auditors and management teams alike want to see that threat detection and response continues to improve over time. Event Manager records all security events and documents investigations into security events, including notes for closed cases and reported incidents. Reports can also be conveniently scheduled to generate at any time, making it easy to meet compliance requirements and report on security progress over time.
Translate Data into Actionable Intelligence
IT environments are diverse and security events come from a wide variety of sources. These sources display data differently, which requires security analysts to develop fluency and expertise in each format—and increases the opportunity for human error. SIEM software consolidates information in one place and normalizes data, providing context an analyst needs to understand and respond quickly. This enables a faster, more effective response to critical issues.
Since no two organizations are alike, Event Manager allows you to tailor any report as needed with an intuitive interface by selecting, highlighting, and relating any events, threats, and incidents. These fully searchable and shareable reports can also be exported into a variety of formats (PDF, CSV, DOC, XLS).
What I like about [Powertech Event Manager] is the flexibility it offers you to manage incidents proactively.

Key Features of Event Manager
Security Event Prioritization
It is impossible to stay ahead of the curve if your security team is buried investigating meaningless security events. Our security information and event management software helps you determine which events are most critical and which events are lower priority. We make the prioritization process easy with out-of-the-box controls that can be adjusted as you see fit.

Normalization of Disparate Data Sources
Organizations rely on multiple technologies to run their business. This makes it difficult for security teams to understand the data coming in from these disparate sources. Event Manager turns this data into actionable intelligence by normalizing it into a common format and giving it meaning. Analysts won’t need to understand the nuances of different operating systems, applications, databases, firewalls, or network appliances to know what the data means and what to do with it.
