About AlienVaultWe’ve experienced firsthand just how frustrating and challenging security can be – the struggles with failing SIEM implementations; having to settle for inadequate security due to budget constraints; shelving hundreds of thousands of dollars of security software because it is just too hard to use; and, of course, the aftermath of security breaches that could have been prevented.
We founded AlienVault to help organizations of all shapes and sizes achieve world-class security without the headaches and huge expense of other solutions. And we are passionate about our mission.

Award Winning ProductsWith our three products, the AlienVault Unified Security Management(USM) platform for both on-premise deployments and in the AWS cloud), AlienVault Open Threat Exchange (OTX) and our open source SIEM, OSSIM™, we enable IT teams with limited resources to accelerate and simply threat detection and response, on day one. We solve the challenges so many organizations face: a lack of security expertise; too many point solutions that aren’t “talking” to each other; and the isolation that comes from relying only on the closed threat intelligence that accompanies security point products.
We continually update both our USM product and OSSIM project with threat data collected from the Open Threat Exchange, with more than 37,000 participants in 140 countries, who contribute over 3 million threat indicators daily. Of these, more than 10,000 members are actively collaborating in the new OTX portal. In addition, we continually and automatically update our USM product with AlienVault Labs Threat Intelligence for targeted detection and actionable guidance to effectively respond to the latest threats.

What Our Customers Have to Say“My favorite thing about AlienVault is that it’s an all-in-one USM. Where other companies make you buy each piece individually and then license each one, AlienVault throws everything in one box, reduces the cost, and makes a much better product.”
-Evan Crebo, System Administrator, Martin Engineering
“A single [view] of information is critical for our ability to discover, respond and resolve an issue as quickly as possible. AlienVault’s ability to collect information from every resource—even data we could not view previously—has changed the way we support our community.”
-Greg Bartholomew, Director of Networking/Systems Operations, University of New Haven
“With the AlienVault Open Threat Exchange, we finally have a common system for defining and sharing intelligence. This enables my systems to be better protected and to identify security problems faster.”
-Lucas Reber, Information Assurance Architect, University of Washington Bothell
