SenSage Integrates With EMC Centera to Deliver Unparalleled Scalability for the Analysis and Storage of Security Event Data

SenSage Integrates With EMC Centera to Deliver Unparalleled Scalability for the Analysis and Storage of Security Event Data Integration Between SenSage 3.0 and EMC Centera Delivers Unmatched Capacity for Analyzing, Correlating, and Storing Critical Log Data for Security and Compliance SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- SenSage today announced it has completed integration between its Security Information Management (SIM) solution, SenSage 3.0, and EMC Centera content addressed storage (CAS) solution. SenSage 3.0's unique architecture allows for the collection, correlation, and storage of massive amounts of log data. EMC Centera represents a new software-driven storage architecture purpose-built to address the unique information storage requirements of long-lasting, unchanging digital objects or "fixed content," such as those found in log files, corporate e-mail and attachments as well as records and stored collaborative documents. Coupling SenSage's collection, correlation and data repository capabilities with the storage capability of Centera enables customers to have almost limitless retention of log data for analysis, correlation, and reporting. This capability is critical for meeting regulatory compliance goals and essential for investigating security incidents that occur over time and across multiple systems. "The issue with making sense of security log data is really a problem of scale, both the ability to process and correlate the information, and creating an economical way to store it," said Frank Bien, Vice President of Business Development and Professional Services at SenSage. "And, as organizations move beyond simply monitoring perimeter security systems such as firewalls -- and focus on core business and financial applications, the challenge of scale is increased exponentially. Together with EMC Centera, SenSage is uniquely positioned to address this problem of scale -- allowing not just the storage of information, but the ability to rapidly correlate, query, and make sense of the information for security and compliance purposes." "The completed integration brings a new level of value and scale to the Security Information Management space," said Roy Sanford, Vice President of Content Addressed Storage, at EMC. "Traditional technologies have not been able to technically or economically keep up with the volume of information required to address the problem of managing massive amounts of security event data or to support compliance initiatives. With the SenSage/EMC Centera integration, customers have a solution that just wasn't possible with traditional storage technologies." Fueled by regulatory requirements, digitization of industries such as healthcare and financial services, and the desire to leverage this content to meet regulatory requirements and drive operational efficiencies this type of fixed content, once relegated to tape archives, optical disks, or file cabinets, must be stored online. Just as the growth of applications such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and the explosion of the Web drove the use of Network Attached Storage (NAS) as an enterprise storage strategy, the need to manage, protect and access fixed content is the driving force behind CAS, a new category of networked storage. SenSage's products directly address the growing threats of insider abuse and privacy violations, streamline security operations and ensure compliance with corporate and government policies such as FFIEC, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, FISMA and NISPOM. By offering SenSage 3.0 fully integrated with Centera, customers receive a highly scalable solution with flexible reporting and analysis at a fraction of the cost of competitive solutions. The integrated product offering gives customers an on-line database of log data for conformity with both regulatory agencies and internal guidelines.
