ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer acts as a SOX compliance software that conducts in-depth auditing across the network to help you comply with Section 404 of SOX concerning IT process controls. The solution also provides SOX compliance reports to simplify regulatory procedures.
Satisfy Section 302 (a) (4) (A), (C) & (D) of SOX that mandates close monitoring of user access to systems and detect abnormal user behavior. EventLog Analyzer tracks logon and logoff activities, privileged user access, unsuccessful logon attempts, system events, successful or unsuccessful user account validations, and terminal service sessions across the network.
Easily drill down to the root cause of critical network events like log clearance or confidential object modification by unauthorized users. The file integrity monitoring module of EventLog Analyzer enables you to probe and receive a detailed overview about who or what accessed your organization's confidential data.
The solution also facilitates forensic analysis and conducts exhaustive SOX compliance audit trails for log accesses to find out if any logs have been tampered with. You will also comply with SOX's section 302 (a) (4) (A), (C) & (D) by monitoring these activities.
SOX Section 302 (a)(5) expects organizations to implement procedures to audit internal controls and user management policies. EventLog Analyzer's individual user action report allows you to keep track of users' logons and logoffs, session activities, file or directory accesses, privileged user activities, and more. The solution conducts SOX compliance audits to notify users about security level changes to the audit policies.
Adhere to SOX Section 302 (a)(6) by monitoring and tracking all security configuration changes at the user and group levels as well as computer and user account management changes. Described here is the process for Unix systems, but this approaching is generally applicable to other systems. EventLog Analyzer sends instant alerts via email or SMS when critical changes are made to user and group accounts, such as adding or removing groups, user accounts, and members.
EventLog Analyzer is a comprehensive log management tool that monitors network logs at a granular level to facilitate out-of-the-box SOX compliance reporting. The solution triggers instant alerts when compliance violations are observed in the network. You can also handle occurrences efficiently with an incident management system that assigns tickets automatically to the relevant team and speeds up incident resolution.
Centrally manage logs from over 750 log sources to view all the security log data of your network in a single console.
Audit every entity in your network and obtain a detailed overview on what's happening in the network in the form of intuitive dashboards and reports.
Detect network anomalies and trace security threats with a powerful correlation engine that holds over 30 predefined correlation rules and a drag-and-drop custom rule builder.
Assign tickets in an external help desk console for critical security events to speed up incident resolution.
Detect malicious IP addresses, URLs, or domain interactions with the built-in global IP threat intelligence database and STIX/TAXII feed processor.
SOX compliance has 11 titles, and each title is further divided into sections. The most important sections within SOX are listed below:
The following industries and companies are mandated to comply with SOX and conduct SOX compliance audits:
Charities, private companies, and nonprofit organizations are not required to comply with SOX. However, when any organization destroys or exhibits false financial information, SOX holds the authority to issue penalties for non-compliance.
SOX focuses on ensuring that organizations that deal with the public's financial data maintain the necessary standards to protect this information from data breaches and unauthorized accesses. There are dedicated clauses, like SOX sections 302, 404, and 409, that require monitoring, logging, and regular auditing of network activities. These include database, login, account and user activities; internal controls; and information access.
Monitoring these actions helps organizations gain better understanding of what's happening in the network and detect anomalies, breaches, and cyberattacks in the early stages. With SOX reporting software like EventLog Analyzer, you can automate these actions and curb cyberattacks effectively.
