Most of the people who read our newsletter know the LOGbinder founder as the guy behind the Security Log Encyclopedia and the voice of the Ultimate Windows Security webinars. Meet him in person and take the opportunity to chat!

Randy Franklin Smith will again be at LOGbinder’s HP Protect booth, this year to discuss the new LOGbinder SuperCharger for Windows Event Collection and our new solutions for Microsoft’s cloud-based products. Organizations having hundreds of servers and thousands of Windows devices will be particularly interested in our SuperCharger product. And the new LOGbinder solutions will not be limited to Exchange 2016, SharePoint 2016 and SQL Server 2016. Microsoft is doing some great things to make Azure Active Directory and Office 365 more visible to security analysts. Which makes for some exciting opportunities that LOGbinder will make possible for security-conscious organizations.

So we’ve got some really cool things to show and tell, and we’re using the HP Protect venue as the place to do it in person. More than a HP marketing event, these days HP Protect is one of the few events where security analysts and their teams from all over the globe come to network and learn. It’s our kind of audience. We usually get to spend time with customers and consultants who truly grok security at HP Protect conferences. This year the conference will be held September 1-4, 2015 at the Gaylord Marriott in National Harbor, MD just across the river from Washington, DC. (click here to jump to HP Protect 2015 site)

We hope to meet you there! We’ll be at booth #412 in the CyberSecurity Hall. You are going to love what you see.

In a recent poll of more than a hundred security analysts and database admins, 80% said their organization put equal or greater emphasis on network and OS auditing than on database security audits. (35% said database monitoring was less important than network or OS audits.) This seems inverse of what it should be.

It would be so awesome if organizations would simply prioritize their audits to the applications where all the sensitive information is stored.

Help us get the word out! It’s not hard to get application security intelligence to the SIEM where it belongs. The right tools make it dead simple:

1. Choose the relevant LOGbinder application(s), install and configure in minutes, and
2. Start watching the security events roll in to the SIEM console.

Organizations that don’t have a SIEM need to add a preliminary step and pick the SIEM that has LOGbinder integration already built-in

Monitoring the sensitive data inside an organization is critically important. But to do a good job of it, analysts and admins need to learn the framework of SQL auditing and get some insider tips. We sponsored a webinar to meet this need this week and received a heartening response with registrations and a lot of good questions during the live event. If you missed the webinar or didn’t get the opportunity to register, you can still get the recorded version. It’s worth the hour it will take to see the demo and hear the answers to the attendee’s questions.
