NEXThink partners with Unisys to deliver a new set of solutions

The first solution delivered by the NEXThink-Inside Program is Workstation Situational Awareness (WSA). WSA is already in use at several major financial institutions and corporations across Europe to monitor end-user workstations to detect anomalous or threat events, deviations from approved procedures and continuous assessment of 'day-to-day-routine-tasks' to minimise the risk of operational complacency.

The WSA solution monitors internal and external events, behaviours and threats to companies' IT assets and networks by recording data in real-time and feeding the results into corporate repositories for live analysis, or offline use of the data, by the corporate IT or compliance functions.

"Unisys has extensive experience of working in mission-critical environments across many industry sectors, and we believe WSA delivers benefits through continuous compliance and security assessment," said Roberto Tavano, VP of Global Security Sales at Unisys. "Situational awareness represents an advanced concept for cyber-security, which is difficult to achieve when faced with the millions of events and masses of information created every day. Unisys provides the ability to separate valuable information from the background noise of other data and communicate it to the most relevant parties in a convenient way."

"We are proud to be the company selected by Unisys to provide the technology powering WSA. This choice is not only motivated by our technology, but also by the successful and on-going partnership we have had with Unisys in Europe since 2008," said Philippe Eyries, VP Alliances at NEXThink. "We're pleased to say the WSA solution is currently used by several companies to monitor IT services and application performance from an end user perspective, providing proactive support and dynamic asset management."

The NEXThink-Inside Program combines Unisys industry expertise and NEXThink V4 technology. NEXThink V4 is a self-learning discovery and real-time monitoring platform for physical and virtual end-user workplace environments which delivers unique, user-centric analytics for CIOs and CISOs.
