Montpellier, France, September 30, 2005, Net Report SAS Companies are now finding that log management is a cornerstone best practice in their compliance efforts. Sarbanes-Oxley 404 Internal IT Control requirements infer rigorous end-to-end Log Management and Archival. Driven by compliance, security and risk mitigation, enterprises of all kinds are standardizing and automating their log management processes – from storage and reporting to proactive alerting on security and other issues. The automation, search and analysis of all this data can be characterized as ‘log intelligence’ for executives, and provides compliance conformance and risk mitigation for an enterprise.

A combination of compliance and risk mitigation needs are driving these industries away from disparate, homegrown log management, or niche security event management. The new challenge is about capturing all logs, from any device, and then systematically storing, analysing, reporting and alerting about them in seconds.

The market's move towards industry standard log data management, storage and reporting, and the global adoption of these technologies to address compliance and risk mitigation is an enormous opportunity for Net Report and a keystone to meeting the challenge facing companies seeking Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
