For the second year in a row, SenSage has been a recognized by Gartner as a Leader in the 2010 Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). Fewer vendors made the the Leaders quadrant this year, and SenSage was one of only three vendors rated as “Excellent” in Product Viability.

When measured against the top 12 vendors (20 vendors were considered overall)  in specific capabilities, SenSage ranked #1 in Compliance Reporting, #2 in User Monitoring and Application Monitoring, and #3 in Log Management. Gartner’s recognition of SenSage as a Leader is strong validation that our Security Intelligence approach is resonating with customers as they refine and improve their security, risk management and compliance operations.

At the recent RSA Conference we asked those visiting our booth to complete a survey focused on security management. Specifically, we wanted respondents to comment on the state of their organizations’ log management, compliance reporting, real-time monitoring, forensic investigation and incident response processes. We asked how many products they have deployed, how well they coordinate, measure and improve these processes, and how stakeholders perceive the effectiveness of these processes.

We collected 360 surveys and the results are eye-opening. For example, fifty-eight percent report that their security management processes have no coordination or only reactive triage across teams. Sixty-nine percent state that they do not consistently measure these processes for results. How can you be effective at something you neither coordinate nor measure? Indeed, 61 percent estimate that stakeholders consider the processes “ineffective” or “somewhat effective.”

These are just a few of the data points from the survey. To learn more about the results and how SenSage Security Intelligence solutions help organizations consolidate and simplify their SIEM and log management processes and infrastructure, register for our upcoming webinar at http://www.sensage.com/rsa2010/.
