The art of log management
http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/nsm/2007/0423nsm2.html
Network devices hold a wealth of information in their logs. And
such log data can help network managers track compliance and
security policies with real-time and historical records of
access and activity on the devices. Log data can also provide a
window into the cause of performance problems and help network
managers make changes to networks, systems and applications that
streamline operations.
Are SIEM and log management the same thing?
http://www.networkworld.com/nltechexec176841 Like many things
in the IT industry, there's a lot of market positioning and buzz
tossed around regarding how the original term of SIM (Security
Information Management), the subsequent marketing term SEM
(Security Event Management), the newer combined term of SIEM
(Security Information and Even Management) relate to the long
standing process of log management.
Log and event management appliances improve compliance,
security, operations
http://www.networkworld.com/nltechexec132940 Log and event
management is now a requirement for organizations that need to
monitor security and IT policy enforcement, document compliance,
and achieve IT operations excellence without increasing head
count. However, current approaches to log and security event
management force customers to purchase and integrate two or more
products for each discipline. This approach is complex, costly,
and difficult to deploy and manage for enterprises with large
data centers, distributed operations and/or branch offices.
Using log event management to combat insider threats
http://www.networkworld.com/nltechexec147365 A few weeks ago we
wrote about CERT and the "13 best practices for preventing and
detecting insider threats." One of the recommendations is to
log, monitor, and audit employee online actions. The logic is
that logging, periodic monitoring, and auditing provide an
organization the opportunity to discover and investigate
suspicious insider actions before more serious consequences
ensue.
Log management as a tool against insider threats
http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2008/052708insider.html
How can I leverage the log-management product I've bought for
compliance to protect the network against insider threats as
well? If I have a log management solution in place, will that be
sufficient to protect my sensitive data? What other best
practices are there, and can you provide a few real-world
examples?
Consolidate your logs and find golden nuggets
http://www.networkworld.com/nltechexec176842 You may think of
your log data as being rather mundane, but have you ever
considered that it's a treasure trove of business intelligence?
Of course, it's only "intelligence" if it can be presented in a
way that helps you make sense of what's really happening on the
network and give you insight you can turn into action.
States require a license to conduct data forensics
http://www.networkworld.com/nltechexec176843 In 2007, the state
of Texas updated a law called the "Private Security Act" to
insert a new clause that specifies that anyone who conducts
computer data forensics that could potentially be used in a
legal proceeding in the state must be a licensed PI.
Riding the downturn: Network vendors eye new markets in '09
