Technology Solutions: Log Management


Challenge: Gaining value from events and logs and network flow data



Organizations of all sizes face tremendous challenge keeping their computer networks secure.

A wealth of information exists in the event and log data provided by the 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 will provide 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.
