ClearPoint's Latest Adapter for LogLogic Will Help Organizations Identify,
Analyze, and Address Internal IT Security Threats

BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ --ClearPoint Metrics(R), the IT and
Information Security performance metrics market leader, today announced the
availability of data connection capabilities between ClearPoint's Security
Performance Manager(TM) and LogLogic's Compliance Suites(TM).

LogLogic Compliance Suites offer a window into all user activities across an
organization's IT infrastructure and provide a real-time view of adherence to
multiple regulations and standards. With ClearPoint's new data adapter
LogLogic's enterprise customers can leverage ClearPoint's security performance
management solution to obtain advanced metrics on internal IT security
initiatives and cost effectively communicate the state, quality, and
effectiveness of their initiatives throughout the organization.

The LogLogic Compliance Suites automate the analysis of log data generated by
all applications, databases, systems, and network devices. In doing so, the
software offers businesses insight into where data is moving and who is
accessing it. In addition to helping companies meet industry compliance
regulations, such as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), that require the collection and analysis of log
data, LogLogic Compliance Suites address enterprise risk management,
information retention policies, and IT risk management. They can also help
increase overall operational efficiency, reduce IT budgets, and reduce ongoing
compliance costs. Currently, LogLogic has baseline reporting capabilities such
as exporting reports into CSV, PDF or HTML formats. With data integration
with ClearPoint's Security Performance Manager, valuable LogLogic data can be
integrated with ClearPoint's visual metrics and scorecarding system to deliver
the hard facts and data that lead to more informed decision making and
reliable compliance assessments.

"Though collecting log data is mandatory for many industry compliance
regulations, businesses that want to maintain best practices for security and
accountability can leverage ClearPoint's solutions to develop policies that
mitigate risk," said Dominique Levin, executive vice president of marketing
and strategy for LogLogic. "ClearPoint's data adapter will help us provide
LogLogic customers with a clear concise view of ongoing IT risk to ensure the
effectiveness of their information security initiatives."

The ClearPoint Metrics Security Performance Manager(TM) enables IT and
security executives and their teams to successfully measure, monitor, and
communicate the state, quality, and effectiveness of their information
security investments, enhancing and supporting their governance, risk, and
compliance initiatives with reliable performance metrics.

The Security Performance Manager(TM) automates the entire process of
designing, calculating and communicating Key Performance Indicators to help IT
organizations manage and minimize asset risk and exposures. The solution is
designed to consistently gather hard facts and reliable data; profile
high-risk users, assets, and concentrations of risk, confidently communicate
the state and effectiveness of major initiatives, proactively align IT
initiatives with business priorities and save substantial time and cost in
compliance assessment, reporting, and audits.

"The addition of LogLogic to the ClearPoint family of metric data sources
partners is significant," said Jim Acquaviva, CEO of ClearPoint Metrics. "Our
customer's success is predicated on obtaining hard facts and data from
strategic data stores, such as LogLogic, and creating useful and actionable
metrics that communicate the efficacy of internal controls and the business
value of investments."

ClearPoint's portfolio of over 50 adapters provides connections to a large
number of critical security and business applications, including threat
managers, anti-virus, incident managers, intrusion detection and prevention,
identity and access managers, asset managers, network/system managers,
vulnerability scanners, vulnerability managers and patch managers.
