SenSage Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant for 2010 Security Information and Event Management Magic Quadrant

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- SenSage today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant in the 2010 Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Magic Quadrant(i) report.

• A copy of this full report, compliments of SenSage, is available here.

Gartner's research for the Magic Quadrant report showed that the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) market is "defined by the customer's need to analyze security event data in real time for internal and external threat management, and to collect, store, analyze and report on log data for regulatory compliance and forensics...SIEM deployments are often funded to address regulatory compliance reporting requirements, but organizations should also use SIEM technology to improve threat management and incident response capabilities."(i)

"We consider our positioning in the leaders quadrant as confirmation of our value in helping our customers address their specific needs for security, compliance and operational risk management," said Jim Pflaging, president and CEO of SenSage. "Our approach to security intelligence helps our customers obtain the essential decision support they need for their security and compliance operations at a lower cost of ownership compared to other offerings in the market."

The 2010 Magic Quadrant for SIEM "evaluates technology providers with respect to the most-common technology selection scenario: a SIEM project that is funded to resolve a compliance reporting issue, but with secondary requirements for effective threat monitoring and SEM." Gartner's research also found that "broad adoption of SIEM technology is driven by compliance and security needs. New use cases are emerging in areas such as application activity monitoring."(i)
