What your IT logs can tell you about security

IT and NOC teams handle large volumes of logs every day: server logs, network logs, application logs, and cloud logs. Most of the time, this data is used to monitor uptime and performance.

But the same log data can also tell you a lot about your security. It can show who accessed a system, from where, and when, and whether that access looked normal. Failed logins, privilege changes, configuration changes, and unusual access patterns are all recorded in your logs. The challenge is knowing how to find these events and what to do about them.

Our upcoming webinar, Turning IT logs into security insights: An introduction to Log360, shows you how.

What the session covers

In this 45-minute session, we will show how ManageEngine Log360, a SIEM solution, turns raw log data into useful security insights. We will cover:

What your logs can tell you beyond uptime and performance: The who, what, when, and where that matter when you look at logs from a security angle.
Prebuilt detection rules: Rules mapped to known attack techniques across Active Directory, networks, applications, and cloud environments, so you don't have to build detection logic from scratch.
The events worth watching: Failed logins, privilege changes, account activity, configuration changes, and suspicious access—see how threat intelligence and UEBA help separate normal activity from real risk.
Keeping alerts useful as you scale: simple ways to reduce false positives and alert fatigue, so your team can focus on what matters.
What you can do next with this data: using it for compliance and audit requests, investigations, and automated response through SOAR.

Who should attend

This session is for IT, NOC, and security teams that already collect large amounts of log data but haven't fully used it for security yet. No prior SIEM experience is needed.
