04/22/09: Log Fidelity Makes its Mark on the Enterprise Logging and Database Activity Monitoring Industry
April 22nd 2009 – Log Fidelity Corporation today announced their latest release of their intelligent log management solution; LogClarity®. LogClarity® 4.5 is the first single-source solution that incorporates enterprise log management with database activity monitoring. This release catapults LogClarity® into the spotlight of contention for the most comprehensive solution within the enterprise logging space. LogClarity® 4.5 effortlessly analyzes and aggregates log data from all log sources across the enterprise including databases. This seamless automation of enterprise log management correlated with intelligent logging and monitoring of database activity provides an unmatched view of unprecedented accountability.
Tackling compliance mandates like PCI, SOX, and HIPAA have been extremely challenging for many organizations. IT personnel are now forced to incorporate many new time-consuming tasks into their routines. With the shrinking economy this is even more excruciating to overcome. These legislative mandates also require full accountability of all user activity. This includes monitoring all access to customer private data such as credit card information, health records and social security numbers which are typically stored inside critical databases. This makes database activity logging and monitoring a crucial part of compliance and data security. The lack of database activity logging is a glaring hole in native system auditing. Many log management and SIEM vendors are scrambling to provide database activity monitoring as a separate offering. “Forcing organizations to invest in multiple logging systems to meet compliance during an economic downturn is tragic” says Steve Williams; Log Fidelity’s VP of Marketing.

Deciding between enterprise security and data security are not easy choices.
