Shield Restraint Systems enhances security and compliance with Log360

Initial challenges:

• Limited visibility into failed login attempts:

  Shield Restraint Systems lacked a clear view of failed login attempts, especially those involving incorrect username and password combinations. This made it difficult to distinguish between user errors and potential intrusion attempts.

• Inability to detect suspicious login patterns:

  Without centralized log analysis, the IT team found it challenging to identify patterns that could signal security threats, such as brute-force attacks or repeated unauthorized access attempts.

• Need for a comprehensive security and compliance solution:

  The organization required a robust tool that could streamline log management, enhance threat detection, and ensure compliance through automated monitoring and detailed reporting.

Results:

Shield Restraint Systems selected Log360 for its comprehensive approach to security, log management, and compliance. Since implementation, they've seen a marked improvement in threat visibility, faster incident response times, and simplified compliance reporting—empowering their IT team to focus on strategic security initiatives.

Automation and monitoring with Log360:

Log360 automated the log management and monitoring processes for Shield Restraint Systems. Automated email notifications inform the IT department of login failures, allowing the team to recognize patterns and take proactive measures to address potential security breaches. Each IT team member receives an email notification for logon failures, ensuring that potential threats are promptly brought to the team’s attention for investigation.

The advanced capabilities of Log360 enabled Shield Restraint Systems to optimize their log management process efficiently.The IT could promptly address potential threats by setting up email alers for login failures. This proactive strategy was instrumental in identifying and mitigating security risks before they could escalate. Additionally, the around-the-clock monitoring provided by Log360 kept the IT team informed about the system's security status, fostering a safer and more robust IT environment.

Strengthening security with login failure analysis

Log360 proved particularly well-suited for monitoring logon failures. This targeted approach allowed the IT team to track and respond to failed login attempts efficiently. Notably, Log360 provided visibility into instances where third-party administrators accessed the systems without prior notification, which was crucial for maintaining security and oversight.

Investigative efficiency and MTTD improvement:

Log360 significantly improved the efficiency of threat investigation. The platform provides sufficient contextual information with alerts, allowing the IT team to quickly determine whether further investigation is needed. This capability has reduced the time required to investigate and neutralize detected threats. Notifications for login failures are received immediately, even after hours, enhancing the mean time to detect (MTTD) potential security incidents.

The detailed context provided by Log360 in its alerts enabled their IT team to assess the severity of a potential threat quickly. This efficiency reduced the time spent on investigations and allowed the team to focus on more critical issues. The immediate notifications for login failures, even during off-hours, ensured that the IT team could respond to threats in real-time, significantly improving their overall security response time.

Compliance and auditing:

Implementing Log360 helped Shield Restraint Systems meet their compliance audit requirements. The visibility provided by the solution fulfilled the corporate mandate to gain insights about the failed login attempts and potential security breaches. This enhanced visibility into login activities was crucial for maintaining compliance with internal and external audit requirements. Log360's comprehensive log management capabilities allowed Shield Restraint Systems to generate detailed reports that demonstrated adherence to regulatory standards. The ability to provide auditors with clear, concise, and accurate log data simplified the auditing process and demonstrated the organisation's commitments to maintaining a robust security posture.

Overall experience:

Overall, Shield Restraint Systems had a positive experience with Log360. The solution has effectively streamlined their log management and significantly improved their ability to monitor and respond to potential security threats. The automated alerts and comprehensive monitoring capabilities have been particularly valuable in enhancing their security posture. Additionally, the support from the Log360 team has been exceptional, providing guidance throughout the implementation process and promptly addressing any issues. As a result, Shield Restraint Systems feels more secure and compliant with their regulatory requirements.
