Language:  English
ABSTRACT:
Today's corporate networks are becoming more and more complex and far-reaching. Windows Servers, UNIX systems, routers, switches, firewalls and intrusion detection systems are just some of the components. Each of these devices creates events and reports them either as windows event, SYSLOG or as SNMP traps. This plethora of data is critical to many of the organization's departments, but analyzing the information is a daunting, if not impossible task.

The solution is centralized security event monitoring and reporting which consolidates the event data, then correlates it into simplified, meaningful information, which is easily understood by the many departments that need access.

In this White Paper, you will learn:

  • The realities and complexities security monitoring
  • The key challenges to an organization in dealing with this issue
  • The need for centralized management to detect and react to incidents
  • Event correlation to control the massive flow of data
  • Audit, regulatory and risk assessment requirements
  • EventTracker's easy to deploy central architecture
