Perimeter E-Security Launches SaaS-Based Log Management Solution

Perimeter E-Security, a provider of security as a service, has introduced new SaaS (News - Alert)-based Log Management solution.

The solution allows organizations to secure their networks and comply with regulations that require log data to be collected, reviewed, and archived securely.

Officials with Perimeter E-Security said that the solution introduces a unique, "per-device" pricing model, eliminating the complexity of traditional variable pricing models.  

Company officials said that Perimeter's Log Management solution complements the company's current service offerings, such as intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment, and will add an extra layer of security and compliance to its network security suite.

"Every company needs to centralize and monitor their security, server and device logs. It's a security best practice, and financial regulations and mandates such as PCI (News - Alert)-DSS increasingly require it. But today's log management solutions are hard to buy and complex to deploy. Customers shouldn't have to figure out 'events-per-second,' or use a crystal ball to size their capacity needs," said Andrew Jaquith, CTO of Perimeter E-Security, in a statement.

Jaquith said that the company’s new SaaS Log Management solution leaves old-world shrink-wrapped security far behind.

“Customers just need to answer two simple questions: how many devices do you have and how long do you want to keep the logs for? Customers can increase their security and meet their obligations in less than a week," he said.

According to company officials, Perimeter's Log Management solution collects logs from customer devices and infrastructure with a thin, lightweight collector appliance that is centrally managed from the Perimeter's Security Operations Center.

Logs are collected without agents by the appliance and then compressed, encrypted and forwarded to highly secure and redundant data centers for processing and storage. Customers can log into a web portal to perform real-time searches or run easy-to-read reports, such as for audit and compliance purposes, or log events, making collecting and analyzing log data simple and less time consuming.

TMCNet in August reported that USA.NET (News - Alert), a Perimeter E-Security brand and a provider of secure and compliant infrastructure for companies of all sizes, has released SaaS Secure Messaging 6.0, which the company claims is the market's first complete secure cloud unified messaging solution with support for Microsoft (News - Alert) Exchange 2010.
