Gartner Says We’re Cool!

For years, we've been drinking our own Kool-Aid, saying that log management is cool. It's more than just a check box on your list of regulatory compliance initiatives – at LogLogic we turn water into wine by collecting all sorts of information from every machine in your business and we make sense of it. Once you know what's in your logs, you can get a better idea of your security and operational posture. Just as business intelligence (BI) systems help enterprises make sense of endless streams of data, we take the Tower of Babel and translate it into one language.
If you don't believe me, check out Gartner's new report, "Cool Vendors in Storage Technology and Systems, 2009," published last Monday by a variety of Gartner analysts and researchers. The report says, "“Bandwidth reduction and greater safeguards against internal and external threats via log management will result in cost savings to the customer in time saved and threats avoided.”
We are the only log management and security company included. Why? Without log management, 30% of an enterprise's data would be lost. It would literally slip through the cracks. While other companies have focused on starting with the security perimeter to protect information assets, we have always focused on the "lowly log" as the root of the challenge, and that means collecting every single piece of information possible. How else would you get a comprehensive picture of what's happening to your data?
So, how do we store and help you search all of that information, which is often more than a terabyte of new data each day?
First, we've started with a Linux appliance that can be deployed on premise, as a managed service or even as a virtual appliance. From there, customers have a wide range of options and flexibility to use our compliance suites or build their own applications on top of our platform to gain back value from their logs. But, we didn't stop there. By building a solid logging foundation, you can monitor and manage security events, database activities and regulatory compliance for any industry. You can search for events just like you would search for information using Google, and you can do it in a fraction of the time it would take you to manually process this information or to deploy multiple solutions from multiple vendors.
The truth is, logging is cool. It's time to jump on the bandwagon if you haven't already – check out our latest article on the convergence of security information and event management (SIEM) and log management in Network World.
