Firewall compliance management
Firewall devices guard the perimeter of your network, and most regulatory mandates such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, FISMA, ISO 27001, as well as security best practices such as those from SysAdmin, Audit, Network, and Security (SANS) Institute and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, lay out requirements concerning firewall configuration and auditing. Therefore, it becomes essential to constantly monitor and analyze firewall log data in order to prove your adherence to those compliance requirements. This isn't an easy task.
EventLog Analyzer, a firewall log analyzer tool, helps you collect, monitor, analyze, and store firewall log data, and provide insights on the firewall activities with its comprehensive, predefined and custom graphical reports. The solution also provides you with audit-ready compliance reports that show you how your firewall has adhered to the regulatory requirements.
Some of the important regulations for which EventLog Analyzer can generate reports are:

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance

HIPAA mandates the security of a patient's health information and records. This means that every health organization should protect sensitive patient information from attempted unauthorized access, use, interference, or disclosure. EventLog Analyzer helps to meet HIPAA requirements by monitoring and auditing the firewall log data. For instance, HIPAA mandates that application level inspection must be carried out to ensure the protection of sensitive data. EventLog Analyzer monitors different applications and provides out-of-the-box reports.
