ArcSight Announces Industry-Leading Universal Log Management Solution, Logger 5.0: Page 2 of 3

Logger 5.0 is the underlying data storage and search solution for the newly updated ArcSight Enterprise Threat and Risk Management (ETRM) Platform (see related release, " Upgrades ETRM Platform for Enterprise-Wide Threat and Risk Management"), which currently protects more than 100 banks, the government systems of over 30 nations, nearly 55 U.S. Federal agencies and more than 50 telecommunication service providers. Available as a self-managing appliance, downloadable software or cloud service, Logger 5.0 features major enhancements to search, reporting, storage, form factor flexibility and usability.

"We recently downloaded and installed software Logger and were really impressed with the simplicity of the whole process. It downloads, installs and is ready to use in just a few minutes," said Plamen Martinov, Sr. Data Security Engineer at a large health care organization in Chicago. " Logger makes our teams more efficient as there is one language to understand, one search and reporting interface and a single log management platform to deal with. ArcSight Logger truly is The Universal Log Management Solution."

"Today enterprises want a first class log management and analysis solution that is capable of spanning both IT operations and information security needs across an entire organization," said Hugh Njemanze, CTO and executive vice president of Research and Development for ArcSight. "That's why we've designed Logger 5.0 as the universal log management solution, with features for analyzing logs across the enterprise, including distributed deployments. Now with Logger 5.0 available for data center deployment as an appliance, in a downloadable software version, as a virtual machine or for cloud deployments, organizations have more flexibility as to how they deploy and operate a log management solution."

ArcSight Logger appliances will be available from ArcSight resellers, as well as directly from ArcSight. ArcSight Logger software will be available for download directly from ArcSight, as well as from GroundWork Open Source, a leading provider of open source IT management solutions.

"GroundWork Open Source (GWOS) has over 30,000 deployments of GroundWork Monitor, who regularly tell us they're keen to integrate their existing network and system management solutions with sophisticated log management to solve IT operations problems more quickly," said David Dennis, Sr. Director of Marketing and Business Development for GroundWork. "GroundWork has been working with ArcSight Logger since the beta and we're very impressed with its speed and ease of installation. We're excited to partner with ArcSight to offer Logger to our customers to enable faster searching, reporting, and alerting on enterprise log data."
