Unifying systems monitoring: How Protegrity improved operational efficiency with Log360

Business challenges

Before implementing Log360, Protegrity was challenged by not having a centralized SIEM tool to monitor and manage security events across its systems. This lack of centralized visibility made it difficult to correlate logs from various sources, resulting in increased time and effort required for threat detection and root cause analysis. The organization also struggled with maintaining compliance requirements, such as ISO 27001, due to limited log retention and monitoring capabilities. These issues highlighted the need for a robust SIEM solution with comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and reporting functionalities.

The solution: Log360 and its key benefits

Protegrity continues to rely on Log360 to strengthen its security operations, improve threat visibility, and support compliance efforts. Below are five key areas where Log360 adds value:

• Operational efficiency: Log360's built-in reports and alerting mechanisms save time and effort for the Protegrity IT team. By automating log collection, correlation, and analysis, the solution accelerates threat detection and minimizes the need for manual log reviews—allowing the team to focus on high-priority investigations.
• Streamlined compliance: Protegrity's compliance posture, specifically in relation to ISO 27001 certification, is strengthened through the use of Log360. The platform's capabilities, such as centralized log management, real-time alerting, and one-year data retention, support key audit and monitoring requirements. While ISO 27001 is the primary compliance standard mentioned, these features might also contribute to meeting other regulatory obligations.
• Centralized log management: Log360 centralizes Protegrity's log data, enabling visibility into events across Microsoft 365, Azure AD, on-premises AD, and other systems from a single interface. This eliminates the need to manually correlate logs from multiple systems and streamlines daily monitoring tasks.
• Enhanced threat detection: Log360's advanced monitoring capabilities enable Protegrity to detect and respond to login threats effectively. The system alerts the IT team to suspicious logins from abnormal locations and flags the creation of new users.
• Improved investigation and response: Log360 simplifies event analysis by providing clear insights into user activities like login times and system access. While Protegrity mainly investigates singular events rather than large-scale breaches, the centralized solution system Log360 delivers improves root cause analysis and shortens time to resolution.

The Log360 experience

Protegrity finds Log360 particularly well-suited for monitoring Azure AD and on-premises AD. With Entra ID as its identity management system, the seamless integration provided by Log360 makes data retrieval and analysis straightforward. For example, the organization relies on Log360 to monitor critical logins and user activity, which proves essential for maintaining security and operational oversight.
