Centralized log management
One view of the event flow of the entire IT environment.
Centralized log management is a system that consolidates all network, infrastructure and application log data into one place for storage and analysis. In other words, with centralized log management, you get a single view of the event flow of the entire IT environment. With this, it is possible to react automatically to various malfunctions and failure situations, to speed up the investigation of faults and information security problems, and to obtain new information that can be used to develop, for example, user experiences and services. The manual work of experts is also reduced when logs do not have to be retrieved from several different systems. Thus, with the help of centralized log data, the environment can be developed to be even more fault-tolerant and efficient.
Why centralized log management?
Speeds up troubleshooting.
Helps to develop the environment more fault-tolerant and efficient.
Provides information that can be used to improve the user experience or service of own services.
If necessary, we help in analyzing the log data.
Logs securely in one place
The centralized log management solution is designed for the safe storage of logs, and access rights can be assigned easily on the basis of the role. In addition, the system can be assigned its own users, thus avoiding a situation where the supervised supervise themselves. The third advantage of a centralized log system is in the place where the logs are stored. When the logs are stored in the system implemented for that purpose, they do not need to be stored on the production servers of the business consuming their capacity.
When information from the entire environment is collected for centralized log management, a SIEM tool can be implemented, which analyzes the ingested data in real time and reports whether there is any suspicious activity related to information security in the environment.
SIEM monitors suspicious activity and alerts about it
SIEM combines events, threats and risks into one system, which can be used to improve the ability to observe and react to information security events.
When information from the entire IT environment is collected for centralized log management, SIEM can be used to analyze the data taken in in real time for possible suspicious activity that threatens information security. With its help, both the defense level of information systems and the information security situation can be improved. One of the most important abilities of a SIEM system is to detect a threat in the information network or information systems of the organization.
SIEM warns of suspicious activity in real time allowing experts to immediately take the necessary measures to correct the information security threat.
