MidMarket CIOs turning to log management for compliance

Midmarket firms are looking for affordable log management technology to help them deal with growing scrutiny from regulations such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

"The midmarket tends not to have security staff, or the need for a security console," said Eric Ogren of The Ogren Group, a Stow, Mass.-based consultancy. "They just need to collect event log data that they can produce on demand. The midmarket is not trying to boil the security management ocean. They just need to retain event log data for PCI compliance."

Log management tools collect the logs that devices produce for every transaction, store them centrally and offer varying levels of analysis that allow administrators to detect unsanctioned activity and hardware and software failures.
