PRESS RELEASE

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 28, 2009 " LogLogic', the log management leader, today announced the general availability of LogLogic Database Security Manager. The solution is the first database security product to provide deep database activity monitoring, real-time illegal access quarantine and termination, as well as real-time and historical correlation across a broad range of other information sources. The solution provides IT security teams with a 360-degree view of enterprise activities by integrating database activity monitoring with automated security and log management solutions.

The importance of database security is exemplified by a recent Ponemon Institute study, which found that data breaches cost companies an average of $202 per exposed record in 2008. As businesses increasingly monitor employees and privileged users, integrating database activity monitoring solutions with security event monitoring and overall log management enables IT administrators to analyze database access in the broader context of what a user was doing before and after a suspicious activity and then determine what other transactions were invoked around suspicious database access.

"There are countless benefits to buying log management, database activity monitoring and security event management tools from the same vendor," said Dominique Levin, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Strategy at LogLogic. "LogLogic customers enjoy exceptional product integration and ease of use, and can now improve visibility and security by analyzing database activity in the context of all other user activity."

Until now, security and log management solutions, including LogLogic's, have relied on native database audit data or required integration with point solutions. Turning on native audit significantly slows down database performance, especially when monitoring detailed levels of application layer access and transactions. LogLogic's Database Security Manager now offers an attractive alternative that is based on cutting-edge host-based sensor technology and a plug-and-play appliance, which allow for deeper monitoring and real-time blocking without significant impact on database performance. In addition, LogLogic will continue to provide alerting and reporting for native database audit logs, as well as continue to support integration with point solutions.

"Database activity monitoring and log management are very closely related. It is very common to hear from customers that database activity monitoring is in scope for a log management project," said Levin. "LogLogic is applying its expertise in delivering powerful and easy-to-deploy monitoring solutions to the database market for the best possible outcome " real-time data protection with minimal performance impact and enterprise-wide user monitoring."

LogLogic Database Security Manager's key capabilities include the ability to:

  • Protect sensitive database information with minimal performance impact

    • Monitor all database activity regardless of user type, information classification level, application language, protocol or location of access

    • Identify and prevent SQL Injection attacks from well-known or unknown exploits

    • Quarantine and terminate illegal access using granular policies

    • Independently monitor database administrator activities

    • Seamlessly integrate with LogLogic's open management platform and security event management solutions

      Pricing and Availability LogLogic Database Security Manager is available immediately and a complete solution, including sensors and a management appliance, starts at $45,000.
