Preventing data breaches is hard; detecting them later can be harder

Nice story in ComputerWorld that features LogLogic. Some quotes:

To quickly and consistently detect such intrusions, IT managers need to be able to collect and analyze literally every transaction flowing through their networks in real time, according to Maness. "You've got to know what every single packet on the network is doing, where it's coming from, where it's going and which ones are bad."

Some vendors such as LogLogic Inc. are beginning to offer more efficient ways to sift through voluminous log data and focus on the issues that matter, Maness said. Such products can complement security event management tools, he said.

LogLogic's hardware appliances are designed to automatically capture and store log data from firewalls, routers, servers, applications, operating systems and other devices, said Andy Lark, a spokesman for the San Jose-based company. The appliances can be configured to generate near-real-time alerts when the logs show violations of predefined polices, such as those associated with Payment Card Industry standards, he said.
