Sensage And GEOBRIDGE Announce Partnership To Help Enterprises Assure Security Of Critical Data

Partnership to deliver innovative solutions for accelerating compliance and security information management

RESTON, VA, and SAN FRANCISCO -October 18th, 2006 - GEOBRIDGE Corporation, a leading information security solutions integrator, and SenSage, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise security analytics, today announced a reseller partnership to deliver innovative solutions for accelerating compliance and security information management within financial services institutions, retail organizations, SOX regulated corporations, health care organizations and government agencies.

With this new partnership, GEOBRIDGE will market the SenSage scalable log management solution, as well as provide complementary security services and products. Several high-profile data thefts have recently occurred where organizations were compelled to disclose the breach publicly, at least in part due to state legislation like California SB1386. These incidents underscore the need for organizations to take added precautions to monitor the controls concerning the protection of and access to sensitive consumer information.

Furthermore, the 2004 Payment Card Industry's (PCI) Data Security Standard, along with guidelines from American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa, require that organizations responsible for processing credit card transactions monitor appropriate access to card holder information. Collection, analysis, retention, reporting and audit of system event data all contribute to gaining visibility about and initiating appropriate action against potential identity theft threats and fraud.

"Whether in response to the ongoing incidence of data thefts or the emergence of increased legislative and industry security edicts, most of our clients are looking to monitor their infrastructure to prevent and understand data access threats, misuse and risks," explained Tom Mitchell, president, GEOBRIDGE. "By partnering with SenSage, we're able to help our joint customers not only address this need for event log management, but to do so in a more cost effective, scalable, and integrated approach."

SenSage enables centralized aggregation, cost-effective retention and high-speed analysis and reporting of large, diverse event log data. GEOBRIDGE brings a wealth of expertise in financial services and retail markets - providing identity management, transaction security, and network security products and solutions to many of the largest organizations in these markets. The company plans to offer SenSage's event log management platform and leverage the platform's built-in monitoring and reporting capabilities to help its customers satisfy compliance obligations, expedite audits and threat response, as well as reduce security risks.

"Working together, SenSage and GEOBRIDGE provide a unique combination of expertise and real-world solutions that can help organizations meet compliance mandates and fortify security objectives," said Frank Bien, vice president of Business Development, SenSage.

Event log management is a security best practice for reducing risks and responding to threats. The practice can be costly, however, because significant volumes of event data must be consistently captured, maintained, made accessible and analyzed across a variety of systems and applications. In many cases, log management projects consume considerable processing capacity and terabytes of storage. SenSage reduces event log coverage, administration and management burdens while advancing an organization's ability to meet compliance and auditing requirements. The solution significantly lowers the operational and storage costs associated with retaining and analyzing event log data.
