SenSage's Security Analytics Solution Earns "CRN Test Center Recommended" Award From Computer Reseller News

---

SenSage 3.5 Praised as Useful Tool for Helping Customers Satisfy Compliance Regulations Such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPPA

SAN FRANCISCO , CA. - December 13, 2005 -- SenSage, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise security analytics, today announced that Computer Reseller News (CRN) has published a review of SenSage 3.5, in which CRN Test Center technical editor Marc Spiwak awarded the product CRN's coveted "CRN Test Center Recommended" seal of approval. The editor praised SenSage's scalability, performance, support for broad event log sources, and the company's channel opportunity. The complete review can be found online at ttp://www.crn.com/sections/security/security.jhtml?articleId=173401879.

As Spiwak noted, SenSage 3.5 helps companies achieve compliance with the growing number of government and industry-specific regulations that mandate or strongly recommend long-term event data retention, monitoring and analysis. The event data, which is generated by network applications, systems and devices, represents a rich information asset for companies who must continually assess their security posture, track internal and external threats, and complete regular audits. But, as Spiwak observed, the sheer scale of the data can overwhelm the capacity and processing limitations of traditional security information management (SIM) systems.

"Typical security information management solutions rely on relational database management systems that are too slow and generate too much data for use in event-data capture, analysis and retention," wrote Spiwak. "SenSage's unique architecture allows it to collect and store massive amounts of event data from any type of data source for security monitoring and digital forensics purposes."

According to Spiwak, "SenSage can compress event data down to as little as 10 percent of its raw size, and to just 2.5 percent of the space it would require if stored using an RDBMS."

"We're pleased the editors recommended SenSage 3.5 as an enterprise-class security analytics solution," said Frank Bien, vice president of business development at SenSage. "Computer Reseller News correctly recognized the compliance and data management challenges faced by organizations that must capture, retain and analyze event log information. We look forward to working with our valued channel partners to satisfy these customer requirements."
