Web server auditing

Web server auditing

Seamlessly collect and analyze log data from various web servers, like Microsoft IIS and Apache. EventLog Analyzer ensures the confidentiality and integrity of personal information stored on your web servers. The logging tool sends automated alerts when suspicious activity is detected, such as insider threats, account compromise, data exfiltration attempts, or unauthorized access. It also provides actionable insights and intuitive reports on web server errors—such as HTTP 502 bad gateway, HTTP forbidden, and HTTP unauthorized—to help you quickly troubleshoot server issues.

File integrity monitoring (FIM)

File integrity monitoring

EventLog Analyzer's FIM feature examines logs, creates an audit trail that records all actions made to files containing personal information, and sends out insert alerts (on modifications, renames, creations, and deletions) to help you meet CCPA requirements. You can view detailed information on who made the change, what was changed, when, and from where. You can also audit permission changes and failed attempts associated with any file actions.

Removable disk auditing

Removable disk auditing

EventLog Analyzer audits USB device activities through Windows event logs and offers a thorough audit trail of all removable disk activity, including when disks are inserted or removed, when files are copied, and when disk properties are modified. This enables you to track and investigate suspicious or unauthorized removable disk activity. When removable devices, such as USB devices, are plugged into or taken out of the network, real-time notifications can be configured to notify the administrator immediately. The solution also has a predefined report that displays all USB and removable disk activities and detects data theft to prevent confidential data leaks.

Database auditing

Database auditing

To ensure CCPA compliance, data security administrators must continuously monitor network activity and extract data access information. You can meet this requirement by automatically collecting and analyzing logs from database servers such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle, and MySQL with EventLog Analyzer. If any suspicious activity occurs in your database servers—such as unauthorized logons, DDL or DML queries executed on the database, password changes, permission changes, privilege escalation, or role changes—you will be notified immediately. The solution also helps identify various cyberattacks, like SQL injection attacks, ransomware attacks, denial-of-service attacks, and brute-force attacks.

Frequently asked questions

CCPA applies to for-profit businesses in California that meet at least one of these criteria:

  • Annual revenue exceeding $25 million.
  • Handling personal information of 100,000 or more California residents or households.
  • Generating 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling California residents' personal information.

Both the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the CCPA are data privacy laws that have some similarities and differences. The GDPR applies to businesses that operate within the European Union (EU) or process the personal data of EU residents, while the CCPA applies to businesses that operate in California or process the personal data of California residents. The CCPA defines "consumer" as a California resident, and "personal information" as information that identifies, relates to, or describes a particular consumer or household. Unlike the CCPA, the GDPR imposes hefty fines for non-compliance.

The CCPA provides several important rights to California consumers, including:

  • Right to know: California residents have the right to know what personal information is being collected about them, how it's being used, and who it's being shared with.
  • Right to deletion: The right to request that their personal information be deleted from a business's records.
  • Right to opt-out: The right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information to third parties.
  • Right to non-discrimination: The right to not be discriminated against for exercising their CCPA rights.
  • Right to access: The right to access the personal information that a business has collected about them in the past 12 months.
  • Right to data portability: The right to receive personal information in a readily usable format that allows them to transfer it to another entity.
  • Right to opt-in: Businesses must obtain affirmative consent from minors under the age of 16 to sell their personal information.

The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) is a privacy law that builds upon the existing CCPA in California. Having taken full effect on January 1, 2023, it expands and strengthens the privacy rights of California residents by adding new provisions, such as the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information and the right to correct inaccurate personal information, additionaly it increases penalties for violations. The CRPA also created a new regulatory agency, the California Privacy Protection Agency, to enforce the law.
