Log Management Using Intelligent Automation
Meeting compliance has been the driving force for log management in recent years. Many organizations have since realized that there is a wealth of information that can be derived from event logs. Log data from servers, databases, firewalls, and other devices can be invaluable sources of information. Utilizing these event logs can ensure the well-being of company infrastructures, protect critical data, and improve system and network health. Unfortunately, there are many manual complex tasks that IT personnel must accomplish on a daily basis when attempting to use event log data.
These time-consuming, responsibilities need to be automated to enable IT security administrators to accomplish their normal duties and gain the real benefits of log data. Some of the tasks that must be automated are; logs must be collected from all sources to a central repository; they also must be filtered based on requirements and usability; they need to be converted from their native format into a universal normalized format; In addition to all of these manual tasks, retention and archiving, play large roles in utilizing log data. If log retention is set to roll over, or there isn’t enough storage for the event logs, there won’t be anything to review when it counts. Incident response and forensics capabilities need to be implemented. These capabilities encourage a proactive approach to security and are required to meet compliance initiatives.
