LogRhythm, "the company that makes log data useful," and The PowerTech Group, Inc. have announced a strategic partnership to provide comprehensive log and security event management for customers running IBM i (System i, iSeries, and AS/400).
The integration of LogRhythm's log and event management system with PowerTech Interact delivers real-time visibility into and management of system, device, application, database, and network log data, the companies said. The LogRhythm-PowerTech solution enables enterprises to proactively identify and respond to security problems while automating regulatory compliance reporting for mission-critical IBM platforms.
Regis Corp., a multibillion-dollar global leader in beauty salons, hair restoration centers, and cosmetology education, runs its mission-critical applications on IBM i and AS/400/iSeries systems. "While the iSeries is a highly secure platform and its auditing capabilities are comprehensive, it is not designed for log management," said Bernie Rominski, IT security officer for Regis Corp. "The combined LogRhythm and PowerTech solution automates the collection, management, and correlation of our iSeries logs into a single consolidated view that includes information and events from other log sources," he said. "Our iSeries systems are no longer an island. The LogRhythm/PowerTech solution enables us to meet PCI-DSS requirements more efficiently while enhancing our overall IT security effectiveness."
Real-Time Delivery, Centralized Management
The integration of LogRhythm and PowerTech Interact enables organizations to centrally collect, analyze, correlate, and manage real-time security events from their IBM AS/400 and System i platforms with log data from other sources in their network. PowerTech Interact gathers security events from the audit journal, operating system, and network, and forwards them in real time via syslog to the LogRhythm system for analysis, correlation, alerting, reporting, and archiving. Unlike alternative approaches that use batch ftp flat file transfers, the LogRhythm-PowerTech solution provides real-time visibility into security events.
"AS/400 systems often present a blind spot in a company's network security infrastructure," says John Earl, chief technology officer of PowerTech. "That's why PowerTech is excited to partner with LogRhythm and their industry-leading log management and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions," he said. "The integration of PowerTech's Interact with LogRhythm creates a real-time event logging solution for all of the important systems in an enterprise, especially the IBM AS/400 systems," he said.
"LogRhythm is committed to providing customers with the most complete log management, log analysis and event management system on the market," said Andy Grolnick, CEO of LogRhythm. "This partnership allows us to add PowerTech's deep experience with the IBM platform to the LogRhythm solution and give customers a centralized, real-time, and high performance solution for managing logs and events from all their systems, including IBM AS/400."
