LogRhythm and PowerTech Present Free Webinar on IBM System i Log Management for Financial Institutions

Experts to Discuss Technical Challenges and Present Use Cases on Integrating Security Data into Log and Event Management Systems

LogRhythm and PowerTech:

WHO: John Earl, Chief Technical Officer and Vice President, PowerTech Group. Mr. Earl has over 25 years experience with IBM midrange systems and security. He is a security subject matter expert for the IBM System i user group COMMON.

Chris Petersen, founder and CTO, LogRhythm. Mr. Petersen is a security, compliance, and risk management expert. He has held senior consulting and management positions with PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, and Counterpane Internet Security.

WHAT: Many organizations, especially financial institutions, rely on the IBM System i (AS/400) to run their core business applications. Although System i generates comprehensive logs and security data, the sheer volume and cryptic structure of this information makes it very difficult to use and report on. This webinar will explain how to integrate and make these logs useful for security and compliance management within an enterprise Security Information Event Management (SEIM) platform.

Discussing real-world financial institution use cases, this webinar will demonstrate how integrating System i logs with a SIEM system enables organizations to:
Comply with regulations (i.e., GLBA, SOX, PCI, etc.)
Secure networks, systems, and data
Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of IT audit and security operations

WHERE: Webinar delivered to your desktop.

WHEN: This one hour webinar will be presented twice on November 12, 2008, at 10:30 AM Eastern Time and 1:30 PM Eastern Time.

HOW: Space is limited. To register, please visit: http://www.cuinfosecurity.com/webinarsDetails.php?webinarID=109&tab=4
