Solution Will Showcase Combined Value of Identity Management and User Activity Monitoring in Addressing Compliance Requirements

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- LogLogic today announced plans for its LogLogic 4 log management and intelligence platform to support Sun's identity management software portfolio, enabling advanced access compliance and user activity management.

The resulting solution is designed to enable creation of efficient identity management processes that define users' application access privileges while identifying security issues and automating compliance-related tasks, such as monitoring for policy violations and access certifications. Identity auditing capabilities - as well as efficient log management and user activity monitoring - are specifically mandated by several regulators and industry standards, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the Payment Card Industry (PCI)'s Data Security Standard, and the IT Services Management framework (ITIL).

"As regulatory requirements continue to tighten and auditing costs rise, an efficient and integrated role management system has become critical in dealing with compliance needs," said Dominique Levin, LogLogic's Executive Vice President for Marketing and Strategy. "We expect that LogLogic will enhance Sun's identity management solution by continuously monitoring user activity for any non-compliant variations."

"Our customers recognize the importance of log management to their compliance frameworks," said Sachin Nayyar, Chief Identity Strategist, Sun Microsystems. "Collaboration with LogLogic allows Sun to extend its global leadership in identity management by offering an integrated set of Identity and Log Management capabilities to automate and enforce internal security controls across the full range of compliance solutions."

Sun and LogLogic will participate in a webinar on July 31 that explores the benefits of user activity monitoring - enabled by identity management and log management - to compliance strategies.

LogLogic also resells Sun's Netra[TM] server line as part of a solution targeted at telecommunications service providers. In addition, LogLogic embeds Sun's MySQL[TM] open-source database in its log management appliances.
