The Simple Truth about the Log Management market?
Change seems to generate a fair amount of introspective thinking and I wanted to share a couple of thoughts and observations with you:
-
Log Management has really come into its own over the past two years. The SANS Institute did an incredible job of educating literally hundreds, if not thousands, of IT professionals on the art and science of next generation log management. Stephen and crew deserve an enormous amount of kudos for taking an every-day IT task and highlighting its importance - and fundamentals - for good security.
-
Compliance is the driver, but…. PCI in particular shone a very bright light on log management, moving it into the realm of "IT requirement". Log Management is now a standard of due care, but, and this is a BIG "BUT", IT operators don't have the time to perform log analysis through homegrown solutions and are looking to replace complexity and work with simplicity and efficiency.
-
Too much time is spent on semantics. I know that the person that wins the war of words first has an unfair advantage in the war in the market. But come on, whether you call it security event management or log management all depends on the lens you are looking through and the task at hand. What's happened to change so many people's view is that more and more customers are calling analysts and resellers looking for a log management solution because that's what regulations tell them to do. Call it what you will, it's important and customers need basic requirements answered.
-
LogLogic is better positioned than any vendor out there to meet these requirements. These aren't the same requirements requested by the security operations center in 1999. Today customers want all data collected, stored unaltered, shared and secured easily. They don't want reports or new log sources to mean yet another professional services engagement. And they don't want a hidden "first hit pricing".
Nomenclature may come and go - some things at LogLogic never change: our aim to maintain an unrelenting focus on meeting customer requirements and innovating like crazy.
