ManageEngine Releases Latest Version Of EventLog Analyzer With New Security Device Configuration Management Capabilities At GISEC 2015
Provides Insight on Security Incidents, Network Traffic and Bandwidth Usage From a Single Console.
- (1888PressRelease) April 28, 2015 - Dubai, UAE - ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced the Firewall Analyzer add-on for EventLog Analyzer, the company's log analysis solution at GISEC 2015. The new add-on enhances EventLog Analyzer with multi-vendor security device and configuration management features to help IT security administrators monitor and analyze security incidents better. Admins can now seal security loopholes due to firewall misconfigurations, monitor network traffic and bandwidth usage, and propagate and analyze security incidents from log sources across the network - all from a single, central console.
As hacking techniques get more sophisticated, detecting cyber threats at the initial stages is becoming difficult. Despite protecting the network with multi-level security, businesses continue to face cyber threats. The deployment of discrete, disconnected perimeter security systems, such as firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and intrusion detection systems (IDS), follows a granular approach to threat mitigation and also generates voluminous amounts of log data, which is often mistaken as an indicator of compromise. To track down security threats in the initial stages, companies need a unified security console that can accelerate responses to data breaches.
"Perimeter security devices have always been the crucial source in identifying early signs of network security anomalies," said Pravin Kumar, product manager at ManageEngine. "In most cases, as a complement to log analysis, constant monitoring of security devices' configuration changes helps contain attacks at the earliest stages. Our new add-on provides instant access to firewall device configuration details, network traffic and bandwidth usage details, and log data from sources across the network by collating them in one central location."
EventLog Analyzer Firewall Analyzer Add-On Highlights
• Combats external security threats better: The add-on provides intuitive geo-location reports that help identify the origin of virus attackers and spammers, top hosts that are affected by the attacks and more.
• Unmasks shadow IT operations: The Firewall Analyzer add-on enables security administrators to monitor shadow IT operations that throttle the company's bandwidth. Admins can also monitor the bandwidth consumed by unauthorized cloud-controlled applications and services with the intuitive graphical dashboard. The solution also provides detailed reports for user-wise bandwidth usage.
• Meets compliance requirements for security device configuration management: The solution helps meet the requirements of industry's best firewall practices such as SANS, NIST, and NERC - CIP, besides the compliance requirements around security device configuration management.
• Provides contextual information to track down real security attack attempts: The integration provides security device configuration change details such as what rule was changed, when the change was made, who made the change and from where.
• Provides clear visibility into network bandwidth and traffic usage: The Firewall Analyzer add-on provides detailed information on inbound and outbound traffic and application bandwidth usage so that security admins gain better visibility on what is choking the bandwidth.
