SC Magazine, the World's Largest IT Security Publication, Awards the LogLogic MX2010 Five Star Status

Top marks given to new mid-market log management appliance

London, UK – July 21, 2008 – LogLogic®, the log management leader, today announced that SC Magazine, the world's largest dedicated IT security publication, has reviewed the recently launched Mid-Market PCI appliance (MX2010) and awarded its five star status – the top score possible.

The Mid-Market PCI Appliance is one of five new models designed to support various regulatory areas (others support SOX, ITIL, FISMA, HIPAA). It provides comprehensive log data compliance mandate assurance while making it easy for mid-market systems administrators to install, configure, operate and maintain them. The PCI appliance is designed specifically for retailers handling credit card transactions to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard and to safeguard credit card holder information in general.

Commenting on the review Editor Paul Fisher, said: "The latest MX2010 appliance combines all the features of its larger LX and ST brethren in a more affordable option for mid-sized businesses." A point Dominique Levin, Executive Vice President at LogLogic agrees with. "Mid-market companies need solutions tailored to help them meet their unique compliance and regulatory requirements. They often want and need top-grade solutions, but just can't make them work into their IT budgets. The MX appliance addresses this upfront but still provides them with a workable and scalable log management solution."  

Fisher continued: "Our reviewers found the PCI version extremely easy to deploy in the lab. Systems generating log data just need to be pointed to the appliance, which will automatically identify the device type from its traffic and start storing and analysing its log data. The technology can handle a multitude of data sources and the beauty of its approach is that it is completely agentless and can gather information from any device capable of writing log data."

He concluded: "Many businesses have found that data protection regulations cannot be taken lightly. One of the biggest challenges is proving compliance and LogLogic's MX2010 provides the perfect monitoring and reporting solution."

CEO at LogLogic, Pat Sueltz, adds: "The PCI DSS mandate presents millions of mid to large sized retail enterprises with a set of technical challenges – verifying processes automatically and protecting the integrity of log data for purposes of attestation and litigation is one of them. I'm absolutely delighted that SC Magazine, a publication we highly respect due to its longevity in the industry and its global influence, has recognised our product strengths in helping organisations to meet their targets."
