Do you need an effective method to collect and store logs from multiple systems for compliance and forensic ability?

In the face of growing risk, many security organizations have very limited visibility into what threats are forming around their applications. This need for greater visibility into applications is compounded by Compliance requirements. Several industry and government regulations require that logs, from a broad set of IT systems spanning multiple vendors and versions, be collected, monitored and retained. To demonstrate due care, logs from hundreds of sources, in some cases thousands, must be routinely reviewed for security breaches and compliance exceptions. This deep analysis and retention can represent thousands of man-hours and millions of megabytes; a commitment many organizations must make, but cannot.

TELUS is able to provide Log Management technologies from the leading industry manufacturers.  To ensure success in mitigating risk and achieving compliance objectives for log retention, TELUS Security consultants can work closely with customers to identify business and security requirements. These requirements are then used to:

• Identify the critical devices and application logs that must be captured
• Determine the optimum method and location for capturing those logs
• Define security and business rule exceptions
• Create the reports needed to monitor events and alerts of interest
