Log Management
Automated Log Collection, Monitoring and Secure Storage. Simplified Operations, Security and Compliance.
Today's organizations use log data for resolving a variety
of IT challenges, such as…
- Meeting compliance initiatives
- Improving infomation security with improved audit and correlation data
- Troubleshooting systems, applications, and networks
Regulatory compliance, security incident identification, and corporate security policy and awareness demand that you regularly review logs, securely store logs, and report on activities. But as the volume of log data grows, managing, monitoring, and reporting on logs can introduce operational challenges and place increasing demands on IT resources.
Leveraging Log Data to Improve Your Security Posture
Implementing a robust yet streamlined log management solution can significantly increase your organization’s benefits from log data—both in security and compliance as well as operational efficiency.
An effective log management solution should deliver key security functions including:
- The ability to parse as many distinct log data formats as possible, addressing common formats such as Syslog and Windows Event Logs, as well as application-specific logs and legacy formats
- Storage and archival capabilities, ideally integrating with existing large-scale storage devices and networks—given the volume of log data generated in many organizations
- Simple configuration and management, preferably with a Web-based administration console
- The means to address a
variety of compliance regulations and industry standards,
with regulation-specific reporting templates, distinct
separation of duties and various types and levels of
access to log data and log management controls, and audit
trails for log analysis and monitoring, with specific
reports for managers and auditors
- Real-time and batch alerting mechanisms for security incident response
- Flexible multi-tier/distributed architecture with log collectors/repositories, log analysis engine(s), and management console(s)
- Robust log search capabilities, that can perform
simple and complex queries on stored data
- Troubleshooting and forensic tools
