CorreLog Signs Partner Agreement with Wireless Management Solutions Provider mobileRED


(PRWEB) May 08, 2012

CorreLog, the leader in software solutions for IT security event correlation, today announced a partner agreement with wireless management solutions provider mobileRED. mobileRED and its Integrated Central Command Center provides administrators a single point of control to communicate with any type of mobile device critical issues (i.e. weather problems, disasters, terrorist alerts/warnings, etc) as well as day-to-day business activities such as field service issues, product or facility issues, and other disruptive business events. The Command Center is accessible through any web console or mobile device, and also has certified integrations with BlackBerry Enterprise Server and Active Directory.

Combined with the CorreLog Enterprise log management and event correlation engine, the complementary solutions deliver a powerful IT security platform that can monitor and manage enterprise assets, from mobile devices to distributed and mainframe systems. The mobileRED integration to the CorreLog security information and event management (SIEM) system provides a store for mobile device logs alongside other enterprise event log messages for forensics and reporting.

This partnership gives CorreLog and mobileRED customers an end-to-end solution that allows for identification, tracking and communication of critical information that was previously not available, said Guy Blanchette, mobileRED CEO. Customers are now able to monitor complex data anomalies and automatically communicate with individuals or groups regardless of platform and apply an automated response through their SIEM system.

The CorreLog SIEM system can generate automated helpdesk tickets when the CorreLog correlation engine detects patterns of anomalous behavior that might indicate cyber-threat. The ability to add mobile device logs to the CorreLog SIEM system is significant as attacks to enterprise systems through mobile access points continues to evolve. Another significant component of the partnership is the ability of the system to add mobile device GPS location to user and mobile log data, further aiding forensics.

The emergence of bring your own device (BYOD)the explosion of tabletsrecent attacks through the MAC OS. Mobile device management is presenting some pretty big headaches for enterprises of all sizes, said George Faucher, president and CEO of CorreLog. This partnership gives more ammo to any enterprise, regardless of size, to secure the ship. Were going a step beyond just the mobile device tracking capability though. We are adding automated helpdesk response to potential threat for a more proactive approach.

CorreLog Announces IBM z/OS Integration to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator for Real-time Mainframe Log Management


Naples, FL (PRWEB) June 18, 2012

CorreLog, the leader in software solutions for IT security event correlation, today announced integration between its IBM z/OS mainframe agent and the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform. The integration is highly applicable to financial services, retail/hospitality, health care, and government sectors that store massive quantities of credit card, HIPAA, or other compliance standards-related data (FISMA, NERC, Sarbanes-Oxley, etc) in mainframe environments. IBM mainframe integration to ePO allows CISOs access to a wider swath of message log data at their fingertips to proactively manage cyber-threat and malware across their entire enterprises. A key component of the integration is the CorreLog z/OS Mainframe Agent which can convert critical SMF events (invalid logins and denied resource notifications) to Syslog in real time, straight into ePO. To minimize enterprise bandwidth, CorreLog correlates multiple mainframe events into a single event for passing over to ePO.

Facebook, Twitter, University of Nebraska, Utah Department of Health, another attack at the US Department of Justice these are just a small sample of the attacks in the past few weeks, said George Faucher, president and CEO of CorreLog. Clearly the bad guys are out there on a mission, and the only way to combat the threat is to be proactive and have a platform like ePO for managing all threats across all systems, regardless of platform or device.

CorreLog is a certified McAfee ePO partner and has integrated its solution with the McAfee ePO security management platform using a software development kit (SDK), followed by comprehensive testing by McAfee. This integration allows organizations of any size to proactively monitor and manage IT security and regulatory compliance from a single console.

The CorreLog agent for IBM z/OS mainframe assures mainframe compliance with FISMA, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NERC, and Sarbanes-Oxley. It forwards security, RACF, ACF2, DB2, TCP/IP, job and database events to the ePO console and is compatible with all current releases of z/OS. The agent installs in just a few hours and uses just a few seconds of CPU time per day.

CorreLog Further Extends Mainframe Log Management Reach, Announces ACF2 and Top Secret Syslog-to-SIEM Capability


Naples, FL (PRWEB) August 30, 2012

CorreLog, the leader in software solutions for IT security event correlation, today announced that CA ACF2 and Top Secret security events have been added to its industry leading Agent for z/OS. The inclusion of ACF2 and Top Secret data to the Agent for z/OS further broadens CorreLogs mainframe reach into log management for security information and event management (SIEM) systems, a software space predominantly running on distributed platforms. The CorreLog Agent for z/OS is now capable of delivering mainframe event data for SIEM in the form of TSO Logons, Production Job ABENDs, TCP/IP Connections, FTP File Transfers, and data from DB2, RACF, ACF2 and Top Secret.

With more critical enterprise data and applications residing on IBM z/OS, auditing becomes a key concern as organizations prepare to maintain compliance with industry standards such as HIPAA, FERC, FISMA, PCI DSS, SOX and many others. Adding ACF2 and Top Secret data to enterprise SIEM systems not only provides improved visibility to mainframe security but also offers an added reference point for compliance in the event of an audit.

A mainframe is a huge investment for any organization, said George Faucher, CorreLog president and CEO. And Im not just talking about the pure cost of the hardware, Faucher added. When you consider the value of the data and applications running on a mainframe and the consequences of non-compliance, its natural for us to continue to expand the scope of events our z/OS agent can manage. Real-time security and DB events are crucial and required when dealing with regulatory compliance.

The CorreLog Agent for z/OS runs on both the CorreLog Enterprise Server or can run as a complement to another SIEM solution. The Agent for z/OS allows users to view mainframe SMF security, database and TCP/IP events, alongside events from Windows, UNIX, Linux, routers, firewalls, and other IT assets. When included with other log and event data within the CorreLog Server, CorreLogs unique correlation engine and helpdesk ticket auto notification feature can alert IT security personnel of cyber-threats before they happen.

Were striving to give customers a comprehensive view of their IT security with an audit trail, added Faucher. Todays announcement and last weeks announcement of the CorreLog Agent for SAP are two great reasons to look at CorreLog for securing your IT, regardless of your current SIEM system.

The ACF2 and Top Secret inclusion to the CorreLog Agent for z/OS comes on the heels of CorreLog joining the CA Technology Partner Program (TPP) earlier this year. CAs TPP is a collaborative effort with ISVs and IHVs across the world to develop and market integrated solutions that complement CA Technologies offerings. More information on the CA TPP can be found at http://www.ca.com.
