"The complexity of identifying and responding to security threats and meeting industry compliance requirements requires new approaches to break through cost of ownership and data management limitations imposed by legacy architectures," said Bruce Scott, one of Oracle's co-founders and the co-architect of the first three versions of the Oracle database, as it was announced today that he's joining the management team of SenSage - an emerging player in the security management space, has the fastest and most scalable system for collecting, storing and analyzing log event data.

"SenSage's revolutionary ability to manage massive volumes of security event data will have the same dramatic impact on security management that Oracle had on relational data management," Scott continued. He will lead the expansion and execution of the company's product strategy.

Throughout his career, Scott has led the drive to develop new data management architectures that capitalize on emerging computing paradigms - following the migration from mainframes to mini-computers; from personal computers to servers; and from servers to personal systems and devices. After co-founding Oracle in 1977 and helping that company revolutionize the database market, Scott went on to co-found Gupta Technology in 1984 with Umang Gupta. Serving as vice president of Database and Connectivity Research and Development, he provided the company with database technology leadership for more than ten years. While at Gupta, he invented SQLBase, the first commercially available PC-oriented client/server database and the patented software development design paradigm for SQLWindows.

From Gupta, Scott founded PointBase, bringing to market a platform-independent technology that enabled applications to manage, synchronize, and extend data across networks of servers, desktops, laptops, and mobile/wireless devices. As president and chief executive officer, he led the company's efforts in developing Java-based application-embedded databases for enterprise mobility applications.

"Customers are demanding more sophisticated security and compliance solutions that go beyond filtered, short-term analysis of their event log data. From his background at Oracle and Gupta, Bruce has a unique history of delivering highly scalable, ultra-fast data management solutions," said Jim Pflaging, President and CEO of SenSage. "At SenSage, Bruce will extend our commitment in delivering our customers the most reliable and scalable security management solutions."
