TriGeo Network Security was a U.S.-based company specializing in security information and event management (SIEM) solutions. It provided network security offerings tailored to mid-sized businesses through its SIEM hardware appliance, delivering instant log management and intelligence alongside automated protection for networks.
The TriGeo appliance integrated security event management, security information management, and log management and intelligence functionalities into one unified device.
History
In January 2002, TriGeo introduced its premier product, the TriGeo Security Information Manager (SIM), designed to assist organizations in automatically identifying, alerting, and reacting to suspicious activities, policy breaches, and cyber threats.
Subsequently, the company launched a 64-bit version of the SIM appliance, facilitating real-time monitoring and analysis of network components such as deep packet inspection firewalls, as well as intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems.
SolarWinds, a software developer focused on network, application, and storage management tools, acquired TriGeo in July 2011.
Focus
The TriGeo SIM was primarily aimed at mid-market industries including banks, credit unions, retailers, government bodies, utilities, educational institutions, media and entertainment sectors, and healthcare organizations. The platform offered optional modules to enhance both capabilities and security measures.
When unauthorized or suspicious events are detected, the SIM alerts administrators and can automatically take actions like blocking IP addresses, rerouting traffic, isolating workstations, or managing applications according to customized policies. It also supports compliance reporting aligned with standards such as Sarbanes–Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, and PCI DSS.
Following its acquisition, the product was initially rebranded as SolarWinds Log & Event Manager before being renamed SolarWinds Security Event Manager.
