Industry LeadersLogLogic, Arsenal Security Group and SecureWorks Partner to Provide Comprehensive PCI Compliance Starter Package
SAN JOSE, Calif., – January 16, 2008
-SAN JOSE, Calif. --
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- LogLogic®, the log management leader, Arsenal Security Group®, the industry leader in Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance, and SecureWorks®, one of the market’s leading Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers, have partnered to provide an easy way to quickly close PCI compliance gaps with the industry’s first PCI Compliance Starter Package. Under this partnership, Arsenal will bundle LogLogic’s log management and intelligence (LMI) technology and SecureWorks’ managed security services with their professional consulting services to help companies launch and sustain their PCI DSS compliance initiatives.
Introduced by Visa and Mastercard, PCI DSS describes specific mandates and requirements for retail companies and service providers that manage credit card transactions and other critical payment card information. Requirement 10 of PCI DSS is dedicated to logging and log management and requires all companies that store, process or transmit cardholder information to implement effective log data monitoring and reporting capabilities, which start with an effective log management solution.
The PCI Compliance Starter Package includes LogLogic’s enterprise-class log management platform for monitoring, collecting, storing, reporting and alerting on logs from virtually any data source, Arsenal’s onsite implementation and PCI compliance consulting services and two free months of managed PCI log retention services from SecureWorks. The bundle includes a “quick start gap assessment” to determine the current state of PCI compliance and development of a roadmap for achieving and maintaining compliance goals.
“In today’s complex world of regulatory compliance, CIOs face time-consuming and crippling audits if they are not meeting compliance guidelines,” said Robert Yusin, vice president, worldwide field operations for LogLogic. “For customers, achieving PCI compliance is more than buying a solution. The PCI Starter Package empowers customers with Arsenal’s industry-leading expertise and places companies on the fast track to PCI compliance.”
“Over the past few years, log management has gone from an act of housekeeping at the IT management level to a mandatory best practice for enterprise security and regulatory compliance,” said Tony Spurlin, managing principal at Arsenal Security Group. “Our customers are demanding mature battle-tested log management solutions, so we partnered with the best.”
“Our customers depend on log management to identify and respond to security threats and meet today’s growing landscape of regulatory compliance standards,” said Corey Merchant, vice president of product management at SecureWorks. “By partnering with LogLogic and Arsenal, we are enabling customers to intelligently manage, fully digest and efficiently report on all data logs from various devices.”
The PCI Compliance Starter Package scales to benefit businesses of all sizes. From enterprises with little to no existing monitoring, logging, or alerting technologies to small retailers unsure of the specific technologies or core PCI requirements pertaining to them, customers will quickly be able to understand the storage, processing and transmission of sensitive cardholder data and implement an enterprise class solution that meets the requirements of PCI DSS Compliance.
The PCI Starter Program is available now from Arsenal Security Group. For more information, please visit PCI Starter Program .
Additionally, LogLogic and Arsenal, along with SecureWorks, recently hosted a webcast titled “Best Practices in Starting Your PCI DSS Compliance Initiatives.” The webcast featured representatives from the three companies as well as Mike Rothman, an analyst at Security Incite.
