Security News > 2021 > February > Imperva pretty adamant that security analytics aggregator product Sonar is not 'one dashboard to rule them all'

Tired of keeping up with security alerts from your system? Worried that your Security Operations Centre is getting deluged in low-level reporting? Fear not: Imperva has produced an aggregator aggregation product that sits over the top of all your other alert-generating security software.

The Imperva Sonar platform, billed by the firm as wiping out "The need for siloed point solutions," hangs above Security Orchestration, Automation and Response and Security Information and Event Management products, the idea being to reduce the number of different things that your company's SOC needs to keep an eye on.

Chris Waynforth, Imperva's Northern Europe veep, told The Register: "This is the first unified solution, the unified view for those security-conscious organisations. And that's quite a critical phrase in my mind, because not everyone cares about that."

At the Sonar product's heart is a dashboard, which unites, or so the company said, "Security performance metrics, attack analytics and suspicious traffic for easy investigation", adding in the blurb: "Advanced analytics provide visibility to two of the most challenging information security blindspots: the applications where breaches most often originate and the data most targeted for theft."

Aside from that, it also brings denial-of-service attack protection through its content delivery network, as well as Imperva's traditional web app security stuff going back to the firm's securing-your-data centre origins.

Imperva isn't the only company to make a fresh pitch for the ever-expanding SIEM market: a couple of years ago Amazon wheeled out its AWS-specific Security Hub.
