Log Management 'Triplets' To Protect Your Information

This morning LogLogic announced three (!) new product lines on a single day. So why is LogLogic entering the compliance management, database activity monitoring and security event management markets in these difficult economic times? First of all, because it can: LogLogic posted record revenues in Q4 2008 and nearly doubled it's customer base in 2008 from 400 to 714 customers. More importantly, LogLogic is expanding it's product line-up because, notwithstanding economic woes, our customers still want to do the right thing.

Doing the right thing means protecting patient information such as Larry Whiteside Jr., Chief Information Security Officer for Visiting Nurse Service of New York, who takes privacy and accountability in his organization very seriously. Doing the right thing for Chris Sawall, Supervisor, Information Security & BCP at Ameren is protecting our nations' critical energy infrastructure.

LogLogic's approach to log management makes doing the right thing cheaper and better. It is cheaper because our three new products share a common foundation: our open log management platform. Log data is collected only once and archival, indexing and search are not duplicated which saves much in terms of people time and system resources (such as storage, etc.). An integrated approach is better because different applications work together to prioritize and organize information in a way tailored to the task at hand. For example, our Compliance Manager product provides policy mapping and automates the log review required by PCI and SOX, whereas Security Event Manager automates alert prioritization and incident management.

A huge thank you to all at LogLogic who worked so hard to deliver these ‘triplets’ … It’s like being a new mom all over again. I am happy and exhausted. Also a big hand to our hero-customers, all 714 of them, and to some of the analysts who are speaking out about convergence in the security market:

"Log management and SIEM are not one in the same but both are equally important to corporate regulatory compliance and strong security protection," said Jon Oltsik, Principal Analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group.  "With this announcement, LogLogic adds a strong SIEM platform to its leading log management offering.  This makes LogLogic a great one-stop-shop whether organizations need log management, security management, compliance auditing, or all three."

"Enterprise log management is a component critical to meeting the increasing demands of regulatory compliance," said Nick Selby, Vice President and Research Director, at industry analyst firm The 451 Group. "There is a clear trend of convergence amongst log management and enterprise security information management and security event monitoring products. We believe the integration of LogLogic's log management products and Exaprotect's security information and event management products will form the basis of a powerful product offering."
