PortAuthority Technologies and LogLogic Announce

Partnership Allows IT Departments to Monitor and Prevent Information Theft and Leakage

San Jose, Calif. – July 27, 2005 – PortAuthority Technologies and LogLogic, today announced a strategic partnership designed to actively detect and prevent unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information commonly known as Information Leak Prevention. The partnership couples PortAuthority, the leader in Information Leak Prevention technology with LogLogic’s award-winning log management appliances to better alert, monitor and analyze network activities for information leakage, theft and security breaches. Driven by government regulations including HIPAA, GLBA, and Sarbanes-Oxley, Enterprises require solutions that cost-effectively capture and monitor systems meta data in real-time in order to increase response times to security and compliance incidents.

“LogLogic and PortAuthority Technologies share a common goal – to help companies with large complex IT infrastructures comply with privacy regulations and corporate security policies,” said Raj Dhingra, vice president of products, marketing, and business development at PortAuthority Technologies. “Our proven Information Leak Prevention solution coupled with LogLogic’s Log Management appliances provides a complete, real-time solution to an ongoing and growing issue within enterprises worldwide.”

The Drive for Real-Time Regulatory Compliance
While organizations need to share confidential and proprietary data, many lack the proper controls in place to prevent information leakage from the inside out. LogLogic and PortAuthority Technologies will deliver a joint solution that analyzes network traffic and system access in real-time for inappropriate distribution of or access to critical information.

“Because of the increasing volume of today’s data and business communications, organizations rarely have time to review internal controls for information access and distribution,” said Dominique Levin, vice president of product management and business development at LogLogic. “By storing and analyzing systems meta data, organizations can not only detect unusual activity in a timely manner, but also prevent leaks of confidential or private information with real-time policy enforcement.”
