Log Management On-Demand

“Log collection and reporting was a concern for us as we needed to maintain compliance and monitor our firewall, IDS, web servers, and critical systms; however the sheer volume of logs and alerts were overwhelming.  Security On-Demand was able to provide a solution to help us filter through the ‘noise’ and prioritize the information so that it could be used effectively to monitor potential malicious traffic.”

Log Management Service

Security On-Demand™’s Log Management On-Demand service breaks the mold for security compliance reporting, analysis and log archiving.

By integrating our high performance security event management architecture with a new compliance-oriented, real-time reporting engine, we deliver compliance reports on demand, as the data is collected from the security sensors. With Log Management On-Demand, IT managers, compliance officers, and IT security professionals can quickly identify, examine and manage security compliance issues real-time as well as on a reporting period basis, enabling much more efficient, more effective and more timely responses to potential compliance or audit issues.

Audit & Compliance Logs

There is no need to worry about audits when your logs and compliance reports are provided by our Log Management On-Demand Service. Finally it is now possible for CSOs, compliance officers, auditors, and forensic analysts to examine and manage security compliance issues immediately, without waiting for the end of a reporting period. You can get your compliance reports on demand, directly as the data is collected or batch reports sent to you at the end of a reporting period.

Real-time Monitoring vs Log Collection

Most log management services collect and aggregate logs, but do not provide real-time analysis and alert correlation. For those solutions that do provide this capability, there is enormous complexity, management overhead, product learning curve, and lengthy tuning periods that increase the costs and lengthen the deployment time. With our Log Management On-Demand service, we can immediately detect and escalate a security event that is worthy of further analysis, while compressing and archiving the rest of the log data for compliance reporting, forensic, and archival purposes.

Security On-Demand™ provides true business risk and compliance impact analysis that can be realized and presented in real-time, by integrating enterprise security operations and compliance functions into a fully unified and integrated threat management system.

Technology

Any log management system will capture and archive events. Most can convert popular proprietary log files into a searchable format and generate periodic reports. Only Security On-Demand™™ provides the log functionality that IT managers really need: Conversion from any device, system, application, or security console - coupled with the ability to search and run reports in real-time. Most log management systems passively receive information forwarded to them. Our collectors actively pull data from uncommunicative network elements such as Windows servers using .Net/WMI calls and SQL queries. Collectors also proactively gather and filter information from RDEP, SDEE, OPSEC, and files using many other protocols to capture and consolidate security data.
