Business challenges

To address its security and compliance needs while serving its expanding client base, Nick Tinning, the IT director at Aberdein Considine, determined that his team should focus on three key areas:

Meeting audit requirements: Being a firm that provides financial and legal services, Aberdein Considine faced rigorous monthly audits from banks and building societies, requiring a solution that could provide the necessary evidence to ensure high standards of security.

Implementing IT security solutions solutions: Prior to adopting ManageEngine, Aberdein Considine struggled to meet security and auditing requirements due to the absence of specialized solutions.

Ensuring high security standards: With the growing complexity of cybersecurity threats, Aberdein Considine needed to maintain a high level of security across its operations. The company was particularly concerned about potential breaches that could compromise sensitive information. Therefore, ensuring that all security measures were up-to-date and effective was a top priority.

The solution: Log360

From recommendations by IT auditors, Tinning and his IT team at Aberdein Considine implemented Log360, ManageEngine's SIEM solution, in his organization's IT environment. With Tinning being familiar with ManageEngine's solutions at his previous work experiences, the decision to implement Log360 proved to be an easy one.

Log360’s intuitive interface and unified dashboards empowered Aberdein Considine’s IT team to efficiently perform complex security operations, such as configuring alert profiles.. As a result, the organization's IT team saved considerable amount of time and effort as they were no longer required to use complex PowerShell commands. Furthermore, the organization's IT department leveraged Log360's pre-built reports to establish and detailed audit trails required for their monthly compliance checks. Tinning expressed his satisfaction with how Log360 ensures extensive, and readily available reports at any given time.

Tinning noted that, at present, ManageEngine solutions account for nearly 75% of the IT security and management tools deployed within Aberdein Considine's IT environment.

Furthermore, the organization's interactions with ManageEngine's support team have been consistently positive, he observed. The quick response times and helpful guidance provided by ManageEngine’s support team have ensured the smooth and efficient functioning of Log360 within the organization's IT infrastructure.

As a closing thought, Tinning remarked that the legal industry can benefit from Log360's capabilities, expressing that he is highly likely to recommend the solution to his peers and other law firms that collaborate with Aberdein Considine.

Key features of Log360 include:

User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to analyze user and entity behavior patterns, detect anomalies and identify potential insider threats, compromised accounts, and unauthorized access attempts.

Integration with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to gain a comprehensive understanding of attack techniques and tactics, thereby enhancing threat detection and incident response.

Log360 allows IT and security teams to configure custom correlation rules, empowering organizations to tailor the correlation engine to their specific needs.
