LogLogic Unveils Log App for the Cloud

July 13, 2010 Alex Woodie

LogLogic last month unveiled a new log business model designed to help IT service providers offer cloud-based log management to keep better track of their customers’ applications for the purposes of security and regulatory compliance. The company also appointed a head “Cloud Buster,” or a new vice president of business development for cloud services.

Up to this point, LogLogic has primarily sold its log management software using the appliance model and cheap, pre-configured X64 servers. Then, the company started selling its software through the “virtual” appliance model, whereby the software can be installed on a partition of a customers’ existing server. In each case, LogLogic was primarily targeting organizations that ran their own applications.

Now, with its new cloud computing business model, LogLogic is trying to get a piece of the burgeoning market for application hosting and hosted IT services, which have been grouped under the “cloud computing” term. The company is betting that the difficulties–either real or perceived–in establishing and maintaining a good security and compliance postures in cloud environments will drive demand for its log management expertise. This is the genesis of LogLogic’s “cloud busting” idea.

“With the obvious business benefits of cloud economics, it’s important for us to drive security into this emerging business model, offering both logging of the cloud, logging inside the cloud, and logging to the cloud,” LogLogic CEO Guy Churchward says in a press release. “Thanks to our ‘cloud busting’ approach, we are addressing the fear of cloud adoption and the part that security and transparency should play in allaying this fear.”

Under LogLogic’s new cloud services model, the company will sell its physical and virtual log management appliances to ISPs, ASPs, MSPs, xSPs, and cloud computing providers, who in turn will offer the log gathering and analysis capabilities of the LogLogic technology to their customers. Virtual appliances will be deployed using the multi-tenant approach to hosting, and pricing will be based on the utility model.

The company also appointed Nadir Gulzar to the position of vice president of business development and cloud services. In this position, Gulzar will be LogLogic’s head “cloud buster.”

LogLogic’s cloud offering has already been selected or deployed at several cloud providers, including FireHost, FishNet Security, IP Commerce, and NetBoundary. For more information on LogLogic’s new cloud business model, see www.loglogic.com.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
