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.

Expanding Application Possibilities Drives the Global Real-Time Location System (RTLS) Solutions Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) July 18, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), which as the name suggests, allow tracking location of people and physical assets in the real-time, are growing in popularity for asset tracking in recent years, as they offer superior precision, higher granularity and greater level of accuracy in locating assets than other track and trace technologies. By helping companies locate their assets effectively and efficiently, RTLS solutions delivers streamlined operations, increased asset utilization, and enhanced productivity, all of which result in tangible benefits and accelerated ROI. As companies become increasingly aware of the need for tracking, monitoring and analyzing location and movement of people and products for their daily operations, automatic identification solutions, RTLS solutions in particular, are expected to become a mainstream commercial opportunity for track and trace solution vendors. Although currently still a relatively new market, predominantly gaining orders from manufacturing sector, RTLS solutions market is expected to achieve significant traction over the next few years, as other industries too warm up to the benefits of automatic asset tracking and locating technology.

Having gained tremendous adoption in the manufacturing sector over the years, where they continue to be deployed for tracking key productivity inputs, RTLS is now gradually finding increasing adoption in major end-use sectors such as healthcare and transportation & logistics. Healthcare sector especially is the fastest growing end-use market for RTLS solutions. Besides helping hospital management track the exact location medical devices, RTLS solutions also facilities in tracking patient location, thereby ensuring automated patient flow and increasing patient safety within the hospital premises. By providing accurate patient location, hospitals can easily ensure quick treatment and even send response teams to the patient location in case of emergency. Not only patients, RTLS solutions can even help hospitals track location of healthcare professionals and hospital staff, thereby helping them schedule patient meetings and ensure timely delivery of patient services. With healthcare organizations beginning to increasingly rely on IT solutions for providing better healthcare, improve asset utilization, reduce costs, and gain competitive advantage in the market, it is opportunities galore for asset tracking solutions such as RTLS in this segment. The current yet low market penetration of RTLS in hospitals only points towards strong untapped market opportunity for RTLS solutions in this segment.

RTLS market is also gaining significant market opportunities in other industry segments such as military, homeland security, food and retail, postal/courier, agriculture and personal tracking. Technology developments over the years, especially advancements in design, size, and networking capabilities are enabling RTLS solutions to find increased adoption across these diverse industry verticals, thereby helping drive market prospects further. Research efforts supported by governments and led by industry association are also underway to find new application possibilities, which are expected to increase their penetration in a range of end-use sectors over the next few years. Appropriate cost benefit analysis and feasibility studies are being undertaken to promote the potential benefits of using this technology, which are expected to drive several industry segments to adopt this technology.

The high cost of ownership of RTLS solutions has been the most significant barrier for its large-scale adoption in most of the end-use segments since many years. However, the fast declining prices are now turning RTLS solutions in an economically viable option for organizations keen on investing in technology for asset tracking. The prices of tags, software and hardware have been declining at about 10-15% annually in most of the countries across the globe, thus considerably reducing the hitherto high initial investments requirement for acquiring and implementing RTLS technology at enterprises, and thereby significantly improving its adoption.
