Managing network security for enterprises involves the cyclical process of monitoring for incidents, detection, verification of threat cases, remediation, and proactive threat hunting. Among these, proactive threat hunting and verifying threat cases are time-consuming, manual processes that require extensive investigations.
Log360's Incident Workbench is an advanced analytical console that streamlines security investigations by bringing critical information into a single view. It significantly reduces the time required to gather essential evidence and enhances threat analysis with ML-powered contextual insights, enabling security teams to investigate and respond to incidents faster.
The incident workbench is the investigation component of Log360's threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) engine, Vigil IQ. It enables you to add, compare, and analyze core digital entities like users, devices, and processes.
In addition to unifying analytics, the threat investigation workbench also enriches analytical data with the following integrations:
The incorporated UEBA data provides user activity overview for the selected period, behavioral risk analysis, and risk score trend.
Analyze IPs with Log360's advanced threat analytics (ATA) integrations, including VirusTotal, one of the largest live threat feeds offering domain risk scores consolidated from multiple security vendors, Whois information of the threat source, and the associated files.
Process hunting, a crucial threat investigation mechanism that provides contextual information on suspicious process spawning, has often taken the back seat due to the complexities of mapping the parent-child relationships. Log360 addresses this by providing process flow visualization in the threat investigation workbench through graphical formats, such as:
Along with this, the event timeline and event details are also available in the workbench. This drastically reduces the time taken by security analysts to uncover malicious activities by probing processes.
The threat investigation workbench can also be utilized as an evidence collection board by adding the instances of the workbench to the incident management console. You can add up to 20 tabs containing analytical data from different sources to the workbench and save it. Instead of populating incidents with disparate reports, a single instance of the workbench will contain the entire picture.
Log360 is a SIEM suite that brings security analytics of enterprise networks into a single centralized console. It equips data-driven investigation by collecting, parsing, and analyzing logs from 750+ sources. This vast data is appropriately curated to offer impactful insights through multiple analytical dashboards.
A substantial part of conducting threat investigations involves verifying the threat cases reported by SIEM alerting modules. In Log360, alerts are meticulously adjusted using the ML-based adaptive threshold functionality, aided by Vigil IQ, to minimize the false threats that majorly consume investigation time and resources.
While the threat investigation workbench helps analyze the parent-child tree, the correlation engine has 30+ predefined rules to identify suspicious processes spawning with illegitimate parent and child processes. This makes Log360 a complete suite for process hunting.
With Log360, analysts have access to hundreds of predefined reports, alerts, and correlation rules for a quick start, coupled with the flexibility of customizing the solution to suit different environments. The consistent enhancements to the functionalities and UX makes it a SOC-friendly solution focused on addressing issues in real time.
With the help of Log360, we swiftly identified a critical Log4j vulnerability incident within two weeks of implementation. The application monitoring capabilities alerted us to suspicious activities, enabling our team to promptly mitigate risks and safeguard our sensitive data and infrastructure. Log360's effectiveness has been crucial in enhancing our cybersecurity defenses.

Thanks to ManageEngine Log360, we averted a potential data breach caused by a disgruntled ex-employee. The system alerted us to unauthorized access and authentication failures, allowing us to swiftly address the issue. Log360 played a vital role in safeguarding our sensitive files and maintaining the integrity of our data.
Edward McGrainor, SOC engineer.
Choosing Log360 as our SIEM solution was a game-changer for Calgon Carbon's security. When facing a phishing incident, Log360's real-time monitoring and threat detection capabilities proved invaluable. It swiftly alerted our security team, enabling immediate action to mitigate risks, and prevent further compromise.

Threat investigation is the systematic process of analyzing and responding to potential cybersecurity incidents within enterprise networks to identify and detect malicious activities or vulnerabilities. This process is done proactively and also post-detection to find the root cause and attack trail.
Here are some of the hurdles faced by organizations in threat investigation:
SIEM solutions like Log360 offer the following features and benefits to help investigate threats:
Along with these, Log360's threat investigation workbench takes it up a notch with a comprehensive analytical console that allows users to probe data flexibly and arrive at swift conclusions.
Use Log360's incident workbench to unify analytics, map attack timelines, and resolve incidents with confidence.
