LogLogic®,
the leader in log and security management solutions, today named three
new members to the company’s board of directors, including Peter
Goettner, Marc Verstaen and Deborah Rieman, the company’s first
independent director.
Rieman, former CEO of Check Point Software Technologies Inc., noted,
“When I first joined Check Point, their market was still young and
nowhere near its potential. I recognized that the company had a
fundamentally new approach to the problem, which later drove their rapid
growth. I see LogLogic at a similar junction today as log management is
a relatively young industry, poised to grow dramatically. LogLogic has
built a unique framework from which to lead the market. I’m excited to
join LogLogic at this pivotal moment in the company’s evolution.”
“We’re delighted to have three outstanding executives join our board and
bring their experiences to help us continue building a great company,”
said Guy Churchward, CEO of LogLogic. One of LogLogic’s greatest assets
is the talent of our team, and I look forward to working with our board
to unify the company toward an aggressive, strategic approach in this
evolving market.”
The ability to collect, store, and categorize logs is the foundation of
any comprehensive IT strategy. Log data can be utilized for a wide
variety of business and security purposes – compliance attestation,
security threat monitoring, fraud detection, forensic analysis, problem
resolution, capacity planning and even business-intelligence. LogLogic
is unique in the industry with its focus on an open log management
platform. While others have “bolted on” log management as an
afterthought to security management, LogLogic first and foremost
delivers a scalable log base. This log base delivers a foundation for
customers to effectively and efficiently collect log data once and
re-use many times to suit their organization’s specific
objectives. LogLogic enables the same log base to power industry-leading
applications including LogLogic Security Event Manager (SIEM), LogLogic
Database Security Manager (Database Activity Monitoring) and LogLogic
Compliance Manager (Compliance Workflow Automation).
“Logs contain the wealth of information needed to understand what is
actually going on in your IT systems. The data is there, but with the
ever-multiplying volume of ‘big data’ in the enterprise, IT departments
struggle to make sense of it all,” said LogLogic board member Marc
Verstaen. “As this market matures, we will see log management expand to
encompass everything on the network, with an unlimited number of
applications built on top.”
The LogLogic board is now comprised of seven executives, including CEO
Churchward and board chair Michael Goguen, general partner at Sequoia
Capital. The new board members are:
Peter Goettner, general partner at Worldview Technology Partners,
replaces Worldview partner Mark Orsak. Goettner, who joined Worldview
in 2003, brings more than 15 years of operational experience,
including nearly a decade at the senior management level. His
investments and board seats include PostPath (acquired by Cisco),
Nsite (acquired by Business Objects), Bitpass (acquired by Digital
River), Virtual Synaptics (acquired by Ignite IP), Delivery Agent,
QSecure, and Emergent Game Technologies. He holds an MBA from Haas
School of Business at UC Berkeley and a BS in Electrical Engineering
from the University of Michigan.
Deborah Rieman, appointed as an independent board member, is a
managing partner of private hedge fund Equus Global Investments and
former CEO of Check Point Software Technologies and vice president of
marketing of Adobe Systems. A recognized expert in Internet and
enterprise security, she holds a PhD in mathematics from Columbia
University and a BA from Sarah Lawrence College. In addition to
LogLogic, Rieman also serves on the board of directors for Corning,
Inc. and Keynote Systems. Rieman has also served on numerous company
boards over the past fifteen years.
Marc Verstaen, founder and CEO of Lorienne S.A., a leader in map
authoring tools, and founder and CEO of Beatware, a software company
specializing in data representation for the Web and mobile devices
(acquired by Hyperion), currently serves as Engineering Manager at
Apple. Verstaen is a former President of the French American Chamber
of Commerce of San Francisco and a graduate of Paris Tech/ ENSTA.
