CVGT enhances security and saves costs with large-scale Log360 implementation

Challenges before Log360 implementation

• Lack of monitoring, alerting, and security compliance: Little to no visibility within servers, workstations, or application sets.

Results after Log360 implementation

• Enhanced log monitoring: Increased visibility and integration with the ticketing system.
• Enhanced security posture: Simplified compliance demonstration with ISO: 27001 and ACSC ISM controls using predefined and custom compliance options.
• Improves and accelerates detection and response: Integration with existing tools, like ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, enhances the speed and accuracy of threat management.
• Improvement in MTTD: Log360's capabilities contribute to a low mean time to detect.
• Removes complexity and enhances efficiency: Well-priced, integrates seamlessly into a Microsoft environment, and works well with ServiceDesk Plus.

Enhanced security and compliance with Log360

As a leading employment services provider, CVGT Employment is committed to connecting job seekers with meaningful employment while ensuring robust security and compliance within its IT infrastructure. The organization's key priorities include enhancing visibility into their server, workstation, and application sets and ensuring adherence to security compliance standards.

Enhancing visibility

Before implementing Log360, CVGT struggled with a lack of visibility across their IT environment. Without adequate monitoring, it was difficult to detect unusual or suspicious activities, leading to potential security vulnerabilities. During their evaluation process, CVGT considered Splunk, but ultimately chose Log360 due to its reasonable pricing, on-premises support, and the flexibility to install and manage the solution in-house.

Automated monitoring and alerting

CVGT Employment faced significant challenges in monitoring security events across its IT infrastructure before implementing Log360. The lack of real-time visibility into log data made it difficult to detect and respond to security threats efficiently. With Log360, the organization now benefits from automated alerting and centralized monitoring, ensuring that critical security incidents are identified and addressed immediately.

Log360's ability to monitor on-premises infrastructure, Microsoft 365, and Azure Active Directory has proven invaluable in detecting suspicious activities such as frequent account lockouts and unauthorized access attempts. Additionally, its syslog capability allows seamless integration with other security solutions, enhancing threat intelligence across the IT environment. By automatically forwarding alerts to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, Log360 enables structured incident response, reducing the risk of threats escalating unnoticed.

Strengthening security compliance

Security compliance is crucial for CVGT, particularly in adhering to standards like ISO-27001 and the Australian Cyber Security Centre ISM controls. Before implementing Log360, maintaining compliance was a resource-intensive process. Log360 simplified this by providing detailed logs and reports that are crucial for auditing purposes. The ability to track and document all activities across the IT environment ensured that CVGT could easily demonstrate compliance during audits. This not only saved time but also reduced the risk of non-compliance penalties.

Improving MTTD

One of the key metrics for any security solution is the mean time to detect (MTTD). With Log360, CVGT achieved an impressive MTTD of less than a minute, meaning threats were detected almost immediately after they occurred. This rapid detection capability was crucial in minimizing the impact of security incidents. By quickly identifying and addressing threats, CVGT was able to prevent potential data breaches and protect sensitive information.

Overall experience

Log360 enhances CVGT Employment's services by providing real-time visibility into their IT environment, allowing for quick detection of security threats. Automated monitoring and incident response enable rapid remediation, minimizing service disruptions. The platform supports compliance by generating automated reports, ensuring adherence to industry regulations. Centralized log management makes troubleshooting more efficient, reducing downtime. By proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, Log360 strengthens the overall reliability and security of CVGT's services.
