VeriSign Enterprise Security Services Announces Enhancements to Log Management Service

VeriSign Enterprise Security Services today announced major enhancements to the VeriSign® Log Management Service. The enhancements include expanded reporting capabilities, deeper correlation across log sources, and an agreement with ArcSight to integrate support for the company's Logger technology into the VeriSign service. The addition of the ArcSight solution makes VeriSign Log Management Service the first of its kind to support multiple technologies from best-of-breed providers through a fully managed solution.

To protect critical information and to comply with government and industry regulations, organizations must monitor a myriad of commercial and custom applications on a variety of different platforms. Doing so is a complex, labor-intensive undertaking. The VeriSign Log Management Service allows customers to collect, analyze and store system and application logs to provide a deeper level of security monitoring as well as meet a broad array of compliance requirements, such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards, Sarbanes-Oxley, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).

"Our Log Management Service has received tremendous market response since its launch 2 years ago," said Scott Magrath, vice president and general manager for VeriSign® Managed Security Services. "As one of the first managed security service providers with a comprehensive log management offering, we've learned a lot about the challenges and complexity of deploying these technologies for large global organizations. That experience is reflected in the enhancements we're announcing today that will result in a more mature and flexible solution."
