Blue Coat Systems and NetApp Partner to Offer High-Density Storage Solutions

Blue Coat Systems, Inc., an enterprise security company, and NetApp, which is focused on enterprise storage, have announced a partnership to provide high-density storage solutions enabling extended network forensic analysis.
According to the press release:

This combination of NetApp’s high density storage and Blue Coat’s Security Analytics incident response and forensics solution provides customers a high-performance and high-density storage solution that significantly expands the capture window from weeks to months within the same physical footprint. Customers can retain more valuable evidence that can help limit exposure in the event of a breach, together with the ability to replay and reconstruct exactly how the attacker compromised the system and what was extracted.
With the advent of sophisticated targeted attacks, organizations are facing a growing demand for more scalable storage as they work to protect, detect and remediate network attacks. Blue Coat Security Analytics works to provide proactive incident response by constantly detecting malicious activity and enriching the retained data to pin point potential issues. The ability to retain and enrich more data can dramatically reduce the time it takes to discover a breach from weeks to hours.
