Technology Solutions: Log Management
Challenge: Gaining value from events, logs, and network flow data.
Organizations of all sizes face tremendous challenges keeping their computer networks secure. A wealth of information exists in the event and log data provided by existing computing resources. Unfortunately, this information is often ignored or underutilized for one of many reasons, including:
- The data formats are inconsistent across vendors and device types
- The data is complex and cryptic in nature
- The volume of data is overwhelming
- Existing tools are ineffective at providing value from all relevant data
Organizations that are struggling to maintain the integrity of their computing resources should look to deploy a comprehensive log management solution, like QRadar, that provides increased visibility across all networked systems, security devices, and applications.
Companies under regulatory scrutiny should also consider deploying a log management solution to meet compliance requirements in the areas of log and event collection, analysis, alerting, reporting, and auditing.
