LogLogic Makes The Always On 100
The 2006 Always On (AO) 100 list showcases top innovative private companies demonstrating market traction and the ability to disrupt existing markets - and LogLogic is on the list! Thanks to our customers, partners and employees for all their support.
"Once again, we received more than 1,000 high-quality nominations for this year's AO100 list, so there's clearly still a healthy market for innovation in the high-tech sector," said Tony Perkins, founder of AlwaysOn. "All of this year's winners are demonstrating significant market traction and are pursuing game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. The huge success of last year's winner, Skype, is proof that innovation can appeal to the mass market, and we hope that many of this year's winners will go on to achieve similar success."
In order to make the AO100 list, companies had to be peer-nominated, with AlwaysOn receiving more than 1,000 nominations from venture investors, investment bankers and other industry experts.

Finanical Institutions Face Surge In External Attacks
Deloitte's latest Global Security Survey says that the world's largest financial institutions have faced a surge in the number of security attacks over the past year, particularly from external sources.
You can download a copy or, here are some of the highlights - all of which point to the need for next generation log management and intelligence solutions.
- More than three-quarters (78 percent, up from 26 percent in 2005) of respondents confirmed a security breach from outside the organization and almost half (49 percent, up from 35 percent in 2005) experienced at least one internal breach.
- The top three most common attacks over the past 12 months included ones intended to extort some form of monetary gain. Phishing and pharming were employed for more than half (51 percent) of external attacks, followed by spyware/malware (48 percent).
- Insider fraud (28 percent) and customer data leaks (18 percent) were cited by respondents among the top three most common internal breaches. Ninety-five percent of participants indicated their information security budget grew over the past year.
- Almost three-quarters (72 percent) of financial institutions who experienced a security breach indicated the estimated amount of damage for the organization, including direct and indirect costs, was in the range of US $1 million.
- 83 Percent Fear the Enemy Within: Despite the publicity received by external security threats, attacks from within are a great risk. In fact, among the TMT companies whose security was breached in the last 12 months, half were attacked from inside the company. Less than half (47 percent) of respondents said they were very confident that their infrastructure is property protected against internal attacks, as opposed to almost two-thirds (63 percent) for external attacks. The vast majority of TMT companies (83 percent) said they are concerned about employee misconduct involving information systems.

A Hint At The Importance Of Logs
A brief but important hint on the importance of log management and intelligence came during the "Apple vs. Bloggers" case last week when, according to The Register, the Judge admonished Apple for not taking time to look at its logs:
Judge Rushing agreed, and castigated for Apple for failing to look harder inside the corporation for the identity of the leakers. Apple didn't examine storage logs, for example, and failed to interview employees under oath.

Red Herring 100
LogLogic wins a place on the Red Herring 100. Congratulations to the entire team driving LogLogic's success. This is another endorsement of our strategy and market momentum. Here is what Red Herring had to say:
"While it was easy to pull out the first few hundred companies that stuck out like tufts of elephant grass, before long we were forced to strictly apply criteria designed to locate the companies with the most potential. Young firms with revolutionary offerings, raw potential, and a dash of risk were the ones most likely to make the final cut."

The LMI Lens
Too often LMI is viewed through the lens of SIEM. Others get that it not only warrants its own lens but also its fundamental differences.
The fact that some bright analysts can read between the lines and understand what Log Management and Intelligence is really about does make us happy: capturing 100% of all logs from any device with a scalable and cost-effective pricing model of course makes all customers very happy!
Thanks to Mike Rothman from Security Incite who writes: “Folks like LogLogic that have a flat fee, without per device charges make the technology more accessible. And given a driver for SIM is compliance, then having all applicable devices covered is just crucial”.
