Counterpane and LogLogic Strike Strategic Partnership to Empower Enterprises to Mitigate Risk and Automate Compliance

LogLogic and Counterpane Internet Security today announced a strategic partnership to deliver Managed Compliance Services to enterprises globally. Leveraging Counterpane's leading security incident detection and remediation capabilities and LogLogic's industry-leading log management and intelligence platform, this joint solution provides customers real-time forensics capabilities to respond to security incidents, compliance inquiries and internal threats. Fueled by government and industry mandates ranging from Sarbanes-Oxley to the PCI Data Security Standard for merchants and banks and NERC CIP for utilities, as well as strong demands for data privacy and protection audits, there is an increasing need among organizations of all sizes for automated and centralized auditing with real-time forensic capabilities to respond to security incidents, compliance inquiries and internal threats. This joint solution delivers an enterprise-class log management and intelligence platform as the foundation for next-generation security and log management as a service, and allows organizations to complement or reallocate resources that historically focused on developing and managing cumbersome rules and homegrown scripts. Customers will now be able to acquire log management and intelligence as a managed service from Counterpane, significantly enhancing their next-generation security services. "Security event management solutions for compliance mirror the anti-virus industry of 10 years ago -- they are cumbersome to manage, involve complex and costly rules writing, and address a fraction of the risk faced by organizations," said Chris Brennan, CEO, LogLogic. "With today's announcement, we are bringing log and security event management into the 21st century with a managed service for the realities of today's corporate compliance mandates. Why write rules that address a small number of the transactions occurring in the enterprise, when you can gain insight into threats through behavioral anomaly detection and the more than 100,000 rules Counterpane has under management?" Enterprises can find relief by outsourcing the management of devices, system logs and compliance requirements. Counterpane's Enterprise Protection Suite, powered by LogLogic, collects and filters 100 percent of the organization's logs from any connected data source, including networking, storage, servers and homegrown applications. Through real-time data analysis, Counterpane receives immediate alerts to risks of fraud, security hacks, viruses, application and network downtime or customer service problems and takes action accordingly. Counterpane's Security Operations Centers (SOCs) provide correlation, analysis and reporting, delivering a sophisticated, accurate and rapid response to emerging risks. Using breakthrough reporting capabilities in the recently released LogLogic 3, customers can then generate up to 13,000 highly customized reports from templates, including those for Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPPA, COSO and ISO17799. "Log management and intelligence collects, alerts, stores and reports critical log data from systems and applications of all kinds," said Doug Howard, vice president and service delivery, Counterpane Internet Security, Inc. "With LogLogic, we can better address the needs of the enterprises to meet new compliance requirements and improve their overall risk mitigation strategy within IT, monitoring a broader spectrum of events in order to provide a bigger picture of vital security incidents." Counterpane and LogLogic will engage in joint sales and marketing of the solution, which is available now through Counterpane and value added resellers.
