CorreLog, Inc. Offers Freely Distributed Windows Agent For
Event-Log-to-Syslog Conversion
CorreLog will help advance the state-of-art for SIEM by providing an
agent that reads Windows event logs and converts them to Syslog messages
in real-time - for use with any Syslog receiver program.
Naples, FL November 19, 2009 - CorreLog, Inc., a leading provider of
enterprise-class log management, proactive security correlation and IT
enterprise search software, today announced the general availability of
its free Windows Syslog Agent. The CorreLog agent continuously reads
Windows event logs and converts event messages into industry-standard
Syslog messages for use with any syslog receiver program. While this
agent technology is an integral part of CorreLog's flagship Security
Correlation Server, the product is now available for free use by any
party or person, without limit. The free agent software is available
from the CorreLog website and other locations including
www.download.com.
Microsoft, while supporting SNMP, has never supported syslog in any
native fashion. This has greatly limited the possible Security
Information and Event Management strategies available to most
organizations. With the free distribution of the CorreLog Windows
Syslog Agent, organizations will quickly achieve compliance to HIPAA,
PCI/DSS and other regulator security standards - making critical
security information visible to syslog receivers.
The CorreLog Windows Syslog Agent program runs on Windows 7, XP, Vista,
and 200x servers and continuously reads Windows event logs and converts
event messages into industry-standard, Syslog messages for use with any
syslog receiver program. The agent permits source-filtering of event
messages, automatic and manual assignment of syslog facility and
severity codes and remote management of agent configurations. The agent
program also supports the monitoring of any streaming text log file on
Windows platforms. The CorreLog Windows Syslog Agent operates with any
standards-based syslog receiver, including UNIX-based receivers.
According to CorreLog CEO George Faucher, "CorreLog provides this
package, with no strings attached, to help advance the state-of-art for
SIEM, network management, and security monitoring. We consider this
software to be the most flexible, robust and powerful Windows Agent
program currently available in industry - free or otherwise. We
consider the lack of Windows syslog support to be a major detriment to
industry and SIEM technology and are happy to make this offer to the
world."
The free download package includes the compact agent program,
command-line utilities and an 80-plus-page manual that details agent use
and application. The program is 100-percent freeware, contains no
"demoware" or any restriction on usage whatsoever. CorreLog warrants
that the software, obtained directly from its website, contains no
intentionally inserted malicious software or undocumented back-doors.
