Hewlett-Packard has announced that it has folded its disparate ArcSight, Fortify and TippingPoint product portfolios into a new business unit called HP Enterprise Security Products; it is combining assets from these entities into what it calls the HP Security Intelligence and Risk Management (SIRM) Platform.

Vendors are forever looking for new ways to peddle their wares. Often, a vendor will hitch the company’s product pitch to the latest and most prominent organizational breach exploited by the media, or will craft its messaging toward the latest revision of a particular industry-targeted regulatory standard or best practice. Sometimes, however, the security and compliance concerns held in such high regard by vendors (who happen to have products and services in hand that they feel will solve the world’s problems) fall on the deaf ears of the business decision makers.

Red Lambda, headquartered in Longwood, Florida, bills itself as a massively scalable identity-aware network security software vendor for enterprise, government and service provider organizations. Leveraging the power of its own grid-based architecture, dubbed AppIron, the company states the products developed for its platform combine the power of a virtual supercomputer, relational stream processing and artificial intelligence technologies to address ‘big data’ security problems.

MetaGrid, the company’s first marketable product for the enterprise, is a hybrid anomaly-detection, threat-mitigation and identity-aware ESIM product targeted at service providers, cloud providers, Web properties, governments, utilities and financial services organizations. With more than 30 employees, a recently launched Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) sales footprint and an innovative technology, Red Lambda hopes to show traditional ESIM buyers how to tackle big-data security concerns.
