loglogic

LogLogic operated as a technology company specializing in Security Management, Compliance Reporting, and IT Operations products.

The company was founded in 2002 by Jason DeStefano, Thomas Grabowski, and Peter Jordan in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The founding vision was to assist IT system administrators in automating the management of log data and diagnosing system issues. A significant milestone occurred in 2009 when LogLogic expanded its portfolio by acquiring Exaprotect, a security information and event management (SIEM) company, and introduced its own database security and compliance management products. The company's trajectory culminated in its acquisition by TIBCO Software in April 2012 for approximately $130 million.

LogLogic's business centered on providing a log and security intelligence platform for enterprises and cloud environments. It targeted clients ranging from large enterprises to managed security service providers (MSSPs), addressing the needs of Security, IT Operations, and Compliance professionals. The core of its business was the collection and analysis of vast amounts of machine data generated by IT assets. The company's primary product was a computer appliance, available in both physical and virtual formats, designed to collect, store, and analyze log data from a multitude of sources like network devices, servers, and applications. These appliances translated varied log formats, enabled powerful search capabilities, generated alerts for specific events, and created graphical representations of logging trends. A key function of the platform was to help organizations adhere to various regulatory mandates, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX).
