New SenSage Software Transforms Value of Event Log Data for Corporate Decision Makers
SenSage 4.0 Introduces Intuitive User Dashboard With Extensive Reporting Options to Meet Security and Regulatory Compliance Needs
SAN FRANCISCO, April 3, 2008 -- Enterprise software leader SenSage, Inc. today introduced SenSage 4.0, its newest event log warehouse system architected to respond to evolving corporate requirements for security, compliance and systems management.
Event log data management and analysis, once the obscure domain of IT security and networking professionals, now plays an essential role in helping businesses meet compliance requirements and keep their IT operations running smoothly.
SenSage 4.0 redefines how companies can benefit from event log information by making it easy for non-technical staff -- such as auditors, business analysts, managers and occasional users -- to conduct queries and generate customized reports. This latest release also introduces performance enhancements that lower total cost of ownership by reducing deployment time and support requirements.
Key features of SenSage 4.0, developed from customer feedback, include:
o A redesigned, very intuitive and approachable user dashboard that gives management a complete view of the organization's compliance posture
o Simplified, wizard-based tools for quickly creating and tailoring reports, which greatly reduces training and administration so that novice and occasional users can become productive in a relatively short time
o Additional out-of-the-box compliance reports for matching data to audit requirements such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) to support the diligence process
o Industry-leading capabilities to collect and store -- for as many years as needed -- massive amounts of event log data from thousands of sources, with unlimited ad hoc reporting and out-of-the-box analytics for use in quickly responding to compliance, network operations or security investigations
SenSage 4.0 uniquely combines the best elements of traditional log reporting tools with event data warehouse capabilities to serve the needs of enterprises for which compliance is a strategic requirement. In the recent SenSage customer survey, regulatory compliance was cited by almost 90 percent of respondents as the top reason for collecting log data. In addition, close to 75 percent needed to retain the data for 12 months or longer -- a growing trend that maps well to SenSage's capability to store terabytes of data in a single repository that is 100 percent online and can be searched quickly to provide an immediate answer to an investigatory request.
"With SenSage 4.0, we've extended the accessibility of the event log warehouse, originally built for security professionals, and made it suitable for a broad number of users who have the responsibility for managing the risks and costs associated with compliance, IT systems operations and security," said Ed Chopskie, vice president of marketing of SenSage. "The new release adds flexible technology components and Web services to our proven platform, allowing our customers to easily tailor the software for their individual needs as well as integrate it with existing enterprise solutions."
"SenSage's software delivers compelling advantages for users of our compliance and security products," said Rich Ghiossi, portfolio marketing director, Business Intelligence, Software, HP. "We're pleased to add SenSage's new product capabilities as part of HP's overall business intelligence strategy."
According to Forrester Research estimates, the market size for security information management (SIM) solutions, which includes event log data systems, will be more than $1 billion by 2011.
"There are a variety of reasons for adopting SIM solutions, including identifying and investigating security incidents, demonstrating compliance with corporate policies or external regulations, and gathering metrics," noted Paul Stamp, Forrester principal analyst, in a recent report. "The relative importance of these reasons is changing though -- Forrester found that improving reporting and compliance is the most-cited reason for deploying SIM solutions today."
