McAfee log monitoring with Log360

ManageEngine Log360 integrates with McAfee Endpoint Security to collect and analyze security logs from across your endpoints. This includes threat prevention alerts, firewall activity, web protection events, and host intrusion prevention system (HIPS) detections, providing comprehensive visibility into endpoint threats and behaviors.

Through this integration, McAfee logs are normalized and correlated with data from other systems, empowering security teams to detect advanced threats early and reduce incident response times.

How Log360 collects and analyzes McAfee Endpoint Security logs

Log360 supports syslog-based log collection from McAfee Endpoint Security. These logs include detailed threat detection data and virus alerts.

Once collected, Log360’s parsing engine structures the logs and enriches key fields such as threat category, event severity, user, host, and detection timestamp. This enables cross-source correlation and turns raw McAfee data into actionable threat intelligence.

Monitoring capabilities

Log360 continuously analyzes logs from McAfee Endpoint Security to provide actionable, real-time insights into endpoint security posture and threat activity. This includes:

• All events: Gain complete visibility into McAfee-generated logs across endpoints, servers, and threat modules.
• Important events: Prioritize logs marked critical based on severity and threat relevance.
• McAfee threat reports: Understand attack vectors and infection trends by analyzing threat names, signatures, and affected endpoints.
• McAfee virus reports: View summaries of detected viruses, including frequency, origin, and target assets.
• Top infected endpoints: Identify machines with recurring infections and prioritize remediation.

Critical McAfee events monitored

Log360 helps you detect and respond to high-risk McAfee activity by tracking:

• Important system-level and threat-related events logged by McAfee agents.
• Threat and virus detection across endpoints, with time-stamped context.
• Security policy enforcement failures and misconfigurations.
• Unauthorized or suspicious admin account changes.
• High-frequency infections or alerts from specific hosts.
• Real-time HIPS alerts.

Key benefits

• Centralized endpoint visibility: Monitor McAfee logs alongside logs from other sources like AD and firewalls.
• Accelerated threat detection: Receive instant alerts on high-risk endpoint activity and misconfigurations.
• Audit and compliance support: Generate prebuilt reports mapped to standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.
• Operational insights: Identify vulnerable endpoints and track remediation efforts in one unified console.
