SolarWinds Recognized in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SolarWinds, a leading provider of simple, powerful, secure observability and IT management software, announced today it has been recognized in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms. To us, this recognition, provided specifically for SolarWinds, acknowledges our role in empowering businesses with full-stack observability. We believe our recognition in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant speaks to the constant innovation we strive for. Share Recognized as a Niche player, we feel SolarWinds met several criteria from Gartner, including the ability to: Ingest, store, and analyze operation telemetry feeds Identify and analyze changes in application, service, and infrastructure behavior Enrich telemetry by providing contextualization Support the modeling or mapping of relationships Collect telemetry from public cloud providers While SolarWinds is honored to be recognized in the Magic Quadrant, SolarWinds also believes that observability extends beyond just SaaS offerings, as it is not solely a cloud-native function. Some businesses and public agencies may need to maintain on-premises workloads to safeguard proprietary data or comply with regulatory requirements. To achieve true operational resilience, organizations need comprehensive visibility across both cloud and on-premises environments. Within the last year, SolarWinds has made significant upgrades to enhance both its SaaS and self-hosted Observability options. This includes the implementation of SolarWinds AIto power features such as Root Cause Assist—which streamlines the investigation into underlying issues—as well as AI-powered log insights. SolarWinds also added expanded hybrid IT awareness to improve visibility across both cloud and on-prem workloads. 'We're proud to be recognized by Gartner for our execution and vision in today's highly competitive observability market,' said Brian Goldfarb, Chief Marketing Officer at SolarWinds. 'Our focus on full visibility across cloud and on-premises is shaped by continuous customer feedback. As the IT landscape evolves, so does the demand for flexible deployment and options that meet security needs. Delivering that flexibility through innovative solutions shows we're constantly listening and keeping their priorities front and center.' 'We believe our recognition in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant speaks to the constant innovation we strive for,' said Cullen Childress, Chief Product Officer at SolarWinds. 'We work every day to deliver industry trusted products that address our customers' real-world challenges. Observability platforms are foundational to operational resilience and must be practical, comprehensive, and modern.'

SEC seeks SolarWinds settlement in reversal for agency under new leadership
This story was originally published on Cybersecurity Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Cybersecurity Dive newsletter. The Securities and Exchange Commission has reached a settlement with SolarWinds and the company's chief information security officer, Timothy Brown, to resolve charges stemming from the Russian-backed cyberattack on the company's systems. The parties 'have reached a settlement in principle that would completely resolve this litigation,' the SEC said in a filing last week with the federal judge in New York who is overseeing the commission's lawsuit against the company. The judge quickly approved the SEC's request to stay deadlines in the case, including oral arguments previously scheduled for July 22. 'The Court congratulates counsel and the parties on this productive development,' the judge said. He gave SolarWinds, Brown and the SEC until Sept. 12 to either file settlement paperwork or provide a status update on the settlement process. Russian state-linked hackers breached SolarWinds starting in late 2019 and injected malicious code into its Orion IT monitoring software as part of an operation to penetrate the networks of SolarWinds' customers. The attack was not discovered and revealed to the public until December 2020. The supply-chain attack led to one of the worst cyber espionage campaigns in history, compromising at least nine U.S. federal agencies and more than 100 private companies. The SolarWinds attack prompted widespread government and private-sector reassessments of supply chain cyber risks, as well as new attention to the security of software development environments. In October 2023, the SEC sued SolarWinds and Brown, arguing that they 'defrauded investors by overstating SolarWinds' cybersecurity practices and understating or failing to disclose known risks.' (A judge dismissed most of the original charges last year.) The commission also charged four SolarWinds customers for allegedly misleading investors about the extent of their exposure to the breach. It is unclear why the SEC chose to settle the SolarWinds case, and an agency spokesperson declined to comment on its rationale. But when the then Democratic-led commission brought the charges, the two Republican appointees dissented, later criticizing the commission for 'playing Monday morning quarterback' by second-guessing SolarWinds' decisions. After President Donald Trump took office and appointed a new SEC chair, those two commissioners became part of the agency's Republican majority. SolarWinds declined to disclose the terms of the settlement. 'We are pleased with the potential resolution and happy to focus on driving our business forward without distraction,' a spokesperson said. Adam Hickey, a partner at Mayer Brown and a former federal prosecutor handling cyber and national security cases, said an examination of the eventual settlement terms would reveal 'whether and to what extent the SEC is abandoning certain theories or allegations.' 'So far, the SEC has not moved to rescind the rule requiring cybersecurity disclosures in annual and periodic reports,' he said. 'The settlement may or may not point in that direction.'

US SEC, SolarWinds reach preliminary deal to end breach lawsuit
NEW YORK, July 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has reached a deal in principle with SolarWinds Corp and its top security officer to end litigation tied to a Russia-linked cyberattack involving the software firm, they said in a court filing on Wednesday. The SEC, SolarWinds and its chief information security officer, Timothy Brown, asked a federal judge on Wednesday to stay court proceedings while they finalize paperwork for a settlement. The judge granted their motion, filings showed. In what was seen as a landmark case, the SEC sued the software company and its top security executive in connection with a two-year cyberattack known as Sunburst that targeted Austin, Texas-based SolarWinds. A judge dismissed much of the regulator's case last year. The SEC had said that the defendants defrauded investors by concealing security weaknesses, but U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, who approved the stay, had said that the claims were based on "hindsight and speculation." An SEC spokesperson declined to comment on the matter beyond the public filings. SolarWinds did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The parties said they planned to file settlement paperwork or a joint status report by September 12.
