Log analysis and reporting
Making sense of raw log data
Once logs have been aggregated from the various systems and applications in a network, they need to be analyzed in order to gain actionable intelligence. Log messages contain multiple fields such as date, time, event ID, and IP address. These fields are extracted by the parsing rules of a log management tool, and the details are then populated into dashboards and reports. This enables security teams to neatly visualize the information contained in log messages and identify suspicious activities.
Scheduling audit reports
Security teams need to schedule audit reports to periodically review important security events such as file activities, firewall traffic, database logins, and more. It's recommended to review important security events on a daily basis to ensure that suspicious activities are identified, investigated, and resolved at an early stage. Compliance auditors often request IT teams to furnish the audit trail for key security events, and reports play a crucial role in clearing compliance audits without any hassle.
Analyze logs effectively with EventLog Analyzer
- Out-of-the-box reports: EventLog Analyzer comes with over 1,000 out-of-the-box reports, covering a wide range of devices, applications, and security solutions. The commonly used log sources supported by the tool include Windows and Linux machines, databases, web servers, network perimeter devices developed by a wide range of vendors, vulnerability scanners, threat solutions, and more. The reports are granular, allowing specific events of interest to be tracked effectively.
- Compliance reporting: EventLog Analyzer has prepackaged reporting templates that help organizations comply with various regulations such as the PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, FISMA, SOX, and more. Additionally, the reporting templates can be customized to meet specific audit requirements.
