netForensics Broadens Portfolio with Log Management System

nFX Log One Ensures Enterprise Compliance Requirements for Storage of Log Data

Edison, NJ – April 24, 2007 – netForensics, Inc., a pioneer and global leader in Security Information Management (SIM), today announced the availability of nFX Log One, its new log management system developed to collect, consolidate and store enterprise-wide security auditing and systems management data. With the addition of the nFX Log One product, netForensics now offers solutions that address the needs of all market segments, from large enterprises to mid-tier and small-to-medium size organizations.

nFX Log One is a cost-effective solution that helps organizations comply with PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, FISMA, ISO 17799 and GLBA, and other compliance mandates by collecting, and storing relevant log data from numerous sources. It combines centralized log and event consolidation with powerful archival, forensics and trending analysis tools. It collects data from operating systems, business applications, network devices, security devices, mainframes, access control systems, web services and databases. It also offers a centralized repository to store and analyze event logs.

“Effective log management is critical for identifying policy violations and anomalous behavior while simultaneously helping organizations adhere to regulations that require collecting and archiving event logs,” said Scott Crawford, Senior Analyst, CISSP, Enterprise Management Associates. “nFX Log One offers a robust log management solution for meeting compliance and day-to-day security posture requirements. This new solution is a logical addition to the netForensics suite of products and enables the company to more broadly address the market from large enterprises to the mid-tier market.”

nFX Log One uses event normalization to convert event log data into a common format for quick analysis and reporting. This allows network administrators to apply centrally managed policies to the consolidated repository. From there, they can enforce rules and policies, and generate alerts and corrective actions when there is any deviation from corporate policy, or when suspicious activities are detected. All the while the system makes data readily availability for reporting and audit purposes.

“We are excited to be adding nFX Log One to the netForensics’ product portfolio.” said Tracy Hulver, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management, netForensics. “We recognize that SIM functionality is moving beyond the SOC to the mid-tier and SMB markets. nFX Log One offers these organizations an easy-to-use log and event management solution.”
