CorreLog, Inc. Offers Freely Distributed Windows®-Event-Log-to-Syslog Agent

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 (Vocus/PRWEB ) 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.
