Press Release Summary = Log Fidelity announces the highly anticipated release of
LogClarity 3.0 which raises the bar for automated, "intelligent" log management,
forensics, regulatory compliance, log retention and much, much more.

Press Release Body = Windows domain controllers are considered the hub of just about
every company\'s infrastructure. The security logs on domain controllers are
particularly difficult to manage, but are very important because of the vast amount
of user activity that gets stored in their logs.

LogClarity's innovative and unique analyze first approach to Windows security log
management has IT professionals taking a serious look at LogClarity for its
intelligent automated data reduction methods which vastly improves forensics and
security.

A typical domain controller server can generate over 1000 times more data than any
critical server. This volume needs to be strategically handled and analyzed for
security threats and stored for compliance initiatives. Without an intelligent
automated solution in place, effective use of this data is a next to impossible to
process and log retention goals are unachievable.

Consider the number of domain controller servers and other critical servers and the
picture becomes clear that the management of this data can be overwhelming, even for
a small enterprise. Most organizations are starting to get the picture and are
implementing some form of automation of their log management processes to lower the
administrative burdens associated with collecting and analyzing logs.

LogClarity 3.0 empowers IT professionals by automating and simplifying Windows log
management.

The LogClarity Design Framework removes the complexities involved with log filtering
by collecting only the actual true instances of the logs and automatically filtering
out all the redundant and duplicate logs which ensures true compliance with common
log retention targets. The LCDF advanced technology enables security
administrators a solid framework to assist them in successfully deciphering and
maneuvering though the non-descript Windows security logs. This cutting-edge design
was essential to overcome the serious inconsistencies and limitations of the Windows
security log structure. Most security administrators are puzzled and frustrated when
attempting to use "Event Viewer" or other log tools that don\'t address the
underlying issues.

"The dire need for simplified forensic analysis capabilities is undeniably the
biggest limitation of all other log management solutions on the market today" says
Michael Johnson, Product Manager for LogFidelity. LogClarity 3.0 fills the enormous
void in the ability to perform log forensics with ease which has been a problem for
many years.

LogClarity 3.0 contains significant new modules and enhancements that are invaluable
for all existing users and future customers as well.

The New Interactive Security Risk Assessment Module which helps
security-administrators automatically identify critical areas within their scope of
responsibility to ensure security alerts and other protective measures are in place.
It provides recommendations and best practices that ensure security and overall
health of the enterprise.

The New Alert Acknowledgment Manager that enables department administrators to
manage their alerts much more efficiently which ensures expedited handling of
critical issues. Acknowledgment sign off and current status of the alert handling is
available for management. Additional protection from Insider threats is established
through the Enterprise administrator alert view. Overview of alerts that have been
delegated to specific administrators and the current status is provided at a glance.
This double verification and/or reassignment of alerts keep administrators on their
toes which instills a quick response to alerts like no other method.

Improved GPO Tracker enables security administrators a streamlined approach to
clearly and immediately track down any change to group policy objects. Being alerted
is the first step in a proactive approach to security however; having an easy to
use, quick response tool to
attack serious issues that could affect the health of the enterprise is a huge
benefit to security conscious IT professionals.

Enhanced Executive Dashboard which include, Enterprise Admin View, Department
Admin View, and Forensic View; This new enhancement makes implementation of specific
areas of responsibility a reality. If
administrative personnel understand the
scope of their delegated area they will be more effective at dealing with issues
that arise.

New Powerful Built-in Compliance Reporting Module for SOX, HIPAA, FISMA and PCI
Compliance which helps companies to comply with legislative requirements that are
ominously creeping up on them. Specific data is historically collected and tabulated
to give auditors what they are looking for. New confidence levels can be achieved
and huge time and effort savings for the folks in the trenches.

Wildcard Searches for Basic and Advanced forensics which extends LogClarity's
user-friendly approach by adding wildcard searches to easily investigate security
logs.
This feature further enhances the already state-of-the-art forensics and data mining
capabilities.

"LogClarity has exceeded our internal
Administrative and Log Management needs. The
ease of use is unlike any log management solution we have evaluated to date" says
Mark Sewell, Sr.
Administrator for Software Lifecycle Group. "The forensic search capabilities have
saved me a
lot of time. My manager feels that the hardware savings by the improved data
retention alone, has
justified the cost of LogClarity." Mark adds that he is looking to expand LogClarity
across his entire organization by years end.

Sparked by compliance initiatives and auditors pushing for longer retention levels
and more
detailed reporting, IT personnel finally understand the importance of managing and
analyzing security logs. Meeting compliance goals is one thing but additional
protection of the enterprise from the wide variety of security threats is also a
driving force of the implementation of automated solutions.
