SenSage and the SANS Institute Sponsor Industry's First Log Management Summit

San Francisco, Calif. - June 8, 2006 - SenSage, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise security analytics, today announced that The SANS Institute and SenSage have jointly created the only major conference on what works in log management, to be held in Washington, DC on July 12-14.   To register for the conference, visit www.sans.org/logmgtsummit06/summit.php

Compliance mandates, security best practices and IT problem determination processes necessitate monitoring, analyzing, retaining and reporting on event log data.  The outcome of implementing event log management solutions is to minimize internal and regulatory policy violations, improve auditing, reduce outages, as well as lower operational risks.  Given the trend of collecting more data and adhering to evolving guidelines, the requirements for robust log management solutions and broader applications will increase.  Furthermore, the number of event sources, volume of event log data, length of retention period and number of uses will also expand – presenting new data management and analysis challenges.

SenSage is a sponsor of the SANS Log Management Summit which extends the opportunity for users across industries to exchange their insights and explore real-world applications.

More than 20 speakers, nearly all end users, will share the lessons they have learned on how log management helps IT operations beyond compliance and security.  Attendees will expand their knowledge and network regarding the latest issues and techniques, including:

• Legal foundations for log management;
• How log management identified and foiled phishing attacks;
• The SANS consensus findings of the 20 most important log management reports and alerts;
• Solving the storage dilemma; and
• Making Windows logging effective

SenSage will be providing a lunch and learn session covering the log analysis implementation, applications, and data management.

“Anytime users and experts can convene on such an important subject as log management and analytics is a win-win opportunity,” said Jim Hansen, senior technical product manager at SenSage. “SenSage is enthused about the program put forth and managed by the SANS organization and we are pleased to be a sponsor and contributing member.“
