Intellitactics' security information and event management solution selected for its ability to automate Kelly Services' processes for securing employee and client information to facilitate compliance and strengthen enterprise defense RESTON, Va., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Intellitactics announced that Kelly Services, Inc. has selected Intellitactics Security Manager and Intellitactics SAM to further automate security operations; increase effectiveness of in- place processes for responding to incidents, and complying with regulatory standards. Kelly Services expects increased productivity from simplifying audit and reporting requirements for SOX and PCI, and faster detection and isolation of threats and attacks. "We invested in a market leader," states Greg Kohl, Vice President of IT Infrastructure Engineering & Solutions with Kelly Services. "Leaders innovate and solve the hard problems. Security is an important part of our business -- an important part of the brand name of Kelly," explains Kohl. "We want Kelly to be synonymous with integrity, and protecting personal and private information is part of that. Gaining a clear view of the threat environment is vital to providing high levels of protection, and Security Manager allows us to see patterns in the volume of data that we wouldn't see any other way. "Defending our business against the constantly changing face of threat requires a solution that is agile, and Intellitactics proved that Security Manager can meet our needs now and into the future," continues Kohl. "Intellitactics is the perfect partner for a company like ours that takes our responsibility to protect critical information about our clients and the thousands of people we place very seriously. Security Manager's real-time event monitoring and ability to quickly make sense of alerts and incidents provided the value we were looking for without adding more complexity." The suite will initially be implemented at Kelly Services' corporate headquarters in Troy, Michigan, for the Americas Region. Security Manager will be used to validate that controls implemented to enforce security policy, reduce risk, and ensure compliance with SOX and PCI standards are working. Intellitactics(TM) SAM, a dashboard that features security assurance metrics(TM), will display a dynamic picture of Kelly's operational costs, risks, and security control performance. With the solution's real-time access to prioritized security alerts, investigative ability, and security assurance metrics, Kelly will be able to: -- Establish and sustain a SOX- and PCI-compliant environment to protect information assets -- Accelerate detection of camouflaged activity prevalent in internal attack scenarios and challenging hybrid attacks -- Communicate key performance indicators to illustrate detection and incident response, demonstrate opportunities for improvement, assign accountability, and provide business context for decision making "Kelly Services was looking for a solution that would extend their existing capabilities to include proactive security and risk management," comments Pamela Casale, Chief Marketing Officer for Intellitactics. "During the evaluation, Kelly Services could see a way to automate their processes, could see a way to adapt to Security Manager to what was already working for Kelly Services. That's the hallmark of Security Manager: no matter what the size or complexity of the security landscape may be, Security Manager adapts to and improves the process. Security Manager enables Kelly Services and all our customers to extract more value from their security investments. Kelly has an exemplary reputation for integrity and a heritage of trust. We're honored to have the opportunity to partner with a company that has such a mature vision for security and risk management."
