Big Fish Swallows Small Fish
EMC today swallowed the #3 player in security event and information management – adding to the security acquisitions of recent months. With newly acquired with Windows-based SIEM capabilities, they enter a market rich in players like CA, IBM, Cisco, Symantec and ArcSight.
Today’s announcement validates what we have been saying all along – SIEM is an application and feature within a broader security framework. And, LMI is a separate, larger market and opportunity – SANS estimates G2000 Enterprises spend at upwards of $1bn USD per annum. SIEM vendors are not visible in the majority of LMI deals underscoring that customers are looking at LMI very differently than they look at SIEM.
As seen with this announcement, SIEM is being absorbed as a security "feature" into identity management (Novell, IBM), threat mitigation (Cisco) and now storage management (EMC) whereas LMI is continuing to grow in importance as independent market (SANS) driven by regulatory compliance and IT operations and service management. Features like Open Log Services and Universal Log Processing will fuel the compliance, operations and security offerings, driving new services and integration opportunities. And, vendor neutrality coupled with partnerships with the likes of IBM, NetApp and CSC puts us in a great position to best serve customer needs.
The acquisition further emphasizes the need for open log management and intelligence (LMI) to fuel a broad range of applications while answering compliance and IT control mandates – something none of the big guns have today. In a market where LogLogic is now the undisputed leader still no player other than LogLogic has a major capability or competency in LMI and we will continue to extend our market share leadership position where customers will benefit from our continued innovation and focus.
All in all a great announcement for EMC and for us – validates the market for LMI and SIEM as a feature of broad security offerings; grows the momentum behind use cases for log data; and strengthens our position as the vendor neutral, undisputed market leader in LMI.
