NetIQ is a product line within the CyberRes line of business at Micro Focus, which includes solutions focused on cybersecurity, including ArcSight, Fortify, Voltage, and NetIQ.

NetIQ was previously based in Houston, Texas, with products that provide identity and access management, security and data center management. Its flagship offerings are NetIQ Identity Manager and NetIQ Access Manager. Other past software titles include AppManager, Secure Configuration Manager, and Sentinel.

Micro Focus International has owned NetIQ since 2014, when MFI acquired The Attachmate Group, which acquired NetIQ in 2006, six years after the latter acquired Mission Critical Software.

History

NetIQ was founded by Ching-fa Hwang, Her-daw Che, Hon Wong, Ken Prayoon Cheng and Tom Kemp in September 1995; ; AppManager was introduced in 1996. Their February 2000 merger with Mission Critical Software widened the company's focus to include systems management as well as performance.

In 2001, NetIQ acquired Webtrends, whose software "monitors corporate Internet traffic." — which they sold in 2005.

In 2006, NetIQ was acquired by AttachmateWRQ, After that company acquired Novell in 2011, it changed its name to The Attachmate Group. NetIQ added identity and security products as well as data center and virtualization to their offerings. It was the Attachmate acquisition that led to the alignment of NetIQ products into three categories:

  • identity and access management,
  • security management and
  • data center management.

In 2014, The Attachmate Group was merged into Micro Focus International. NetIQ also announced the use of an Identity Manager number 4.5. This new technology released helps managers to be more productive in different environments.
