Organisations need a business-based approach to creating a log management strategy that will help them detect attacks, deal with mounds of data collected by network and security devices, and meet compliance requirements. This white paper will outline a five step process which will help reduce the complexity of this process. 

A business-focused log management strategy matrix helps guide decisions about technology, processes and services, instead of the reverse. The result is better compliance with information security regulations and the ability to effectively respond to information security threats, through a more focused collection and retention of data.
