NetBoundary Introduces LogLogic Technology For Mid-Sized Businesses

Dallas TX. – May 1, 2007 – NetBoundary, a provider of managed security services to the mid market, today announced the availability of a hosted log management service delivered on LogLogic's industry leading log management platform. LogLogic, according to the Gardner Group, helps address the complexities associated with monitoring, analyzing, retaining, and storing logs from across the entire IT infrastructure from databases to applications.

Monitoring log data is critical for any company that falls under regulatory requirements. NetBoundary's log management service provides it's customers with the ability to log, track, and analyze user and system activity, helping them to more rapidly prevent, detect and respond to security breaches as well as to quickly comply with mandates such as SOX, HIPAA, PCI, FISMA as well as a variety of IT frameworks such as ITIL and ISO/ITSM.

"NetBoundary has a long history of monitoring network and operating systems log data. With the addition of this service we are now extending our managed security services all the way to the application level to give our customer's even greater insight into their IT operations and business simultaneously," said Trevor Jennings, vice president and co-founder.

NetBoundary's log management service offers broad support for log data sources including operating systems, databases, and applications. The log management service also provides a service-based approach to monitoring custom applications and other log data sources that are not pre-defined or typical of suspicious events.

"Today, centralized logging and monitoring of application-level events are being driven by increased regulatory compliance, highly publicized data theft incidents, the changing nature of vulnerabilities and the increase in targeted application-level attacks," continued Jennings. "Log management helps minimize the risks."

The NetBoundary hosted log management service is based on technology from LogLogic, the proven market leader in Log Management & Intelligence. The service through NetBoundary includes an optional on-premise solution that stores and processes raw logs at the customer's site, with alerts sent to NetBoundary's centralized Security Operation Center (SOC) for ticketing, analysis, and response. In addition, NetBoundary offers a hosted solution where all log data is stored by NetBoundary. Reporting will be available through the NetBoundary Enterprise Security Portal, allowing customers to see events that have been captured and assign reports to users who sign-off once they have completed their review process, helping to expedite audit activities.

"Increasingly we are seeing IT take security to the next level by turning to managed services implementations that include log intelligence," said Robert Yusin, Vice President of Field Operations, LogLogic. "Log Management takes security beyond just protecting customer data and ensuring the integrity of corporate assets, delivering a comprehensive view of all system and user activity, policies and business impacts. With a log service, enterprises can easily address the complexities associated with monitoring, analyzing, retaining, and storing logs from databases and across other critical infrastructure."

According to Forrester Research, "Most security professionals still spend a good deal of their time analyzing technical threats, and how to use technology to counter them. Security folks still need to make sure logs are examined, vulnerabilities are identified, and systems are protected." ("Bridging the Security Divide" Forrester Research, January 2006).
