SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 02, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- LogLogic, Inc., (www.loglogic.com) today announced that its LogLogic(TM) LX and ST log management appliances have achieved OPSEC(TM) (Open Platform for Security) certification from Check Point(R) Software Technologies Ltd. (CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet. Through OPSEC certification, LogLogic's appliances seamlessly integrate with Check Point's market-leading VPN-1(R)/FireWall-1(R) Next Generation(TM) software. LogLogic's Log Management appliances will be live on display in booth 464 at the Networld + Interop tradeshow at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas May 2 - 5, 2005.

The LogLogic aggregation and archival appliances can pull firewall rules information through the CPMI interface and aggregate firewall log data through the OPSEC Log Expert API (LEA) interface. The configuration (CPMI) and audit (LEA) paths can be separated for compliant firewall policy validation like Sarbanes-Oxley. Log data is also correlated with other log data sources in support of network availability, performance management and security remediation applications.

LogLogic is the industry's first end-to-end log data analysis and retention solutions company. Already deployed in corporate networks of Global 2000 companies, the LogLogic LX and ST solutions help IT organizations accelerate security remediation, improve network availability, as well as deliver regulatory and legal compliance. The LogLogic appliances provide centralized, real-time monitoring, analysis and archiving of enterprise log data. The LogLogic appliances capture log data from firewalls and make the data instantly available, helping IT departments speed up problem resolution and prevent costly network outages which can result in lost profits for their customers.

"Log management is a vital part of any data center infrastructure," said Dominique Levin, vice president of product management and business development at LogLogic. "The OPSEC certification of LogLogic's appliances means improved network security for our customers through superior visibility into their networks' log data. We are working closely with Check Point to continue to build out our high-performance log management feature set."

"Log Management tools are important elements of security management solutions that provide necessary steps towards identifying and stopping security breaches," said Paul Weinstein, vice president of business development for Check Point Software. "OPSEC certification for LogLogic Appliances will provide our joint customers with a comprehensive event monitoring solution that integrates with existing Check Point SMART management architecture for managing security policies."
