Network Management Innovation
Computerworld covers the increasing investment in LMI - including in LogLogic. James Govenor of Redmonk is quoted throughout the piece:
"Network management tends to be real time; log management is after the fact -- it's more about looking at what happened and analyzing that," Governor said. "These companies are making log management more of a real-time function, and then it becomes more valuable. It's moving from being a subset of security management to more of an application-management function."
What James is getting at here is important. First generation solutions didn't collect or index in real-time. They depended on costly and time consuming rules writing. They correlated security events. As a result they were and are principally about what happened.
Next generation solutions such as those from LogLogic are real-time, they replace rules with Open Log Routing (enabling rules to be aggregated with an MSSP or application) - and machine learning. The correlate across all IT infrastructure. As a result they are as much forward looking as about what happened. They enable you to anticipate and predict risks.
At the same time, LMI solutions are moving well beyond security. We see more application today in the areas of IT control and process automation for compliance. And other areas such as application monitoring - for instance, areas of the supply chain being used more and likely to require additional capacity or management.
