Event Correlation & Log Consolidation

The ever-increasing presence of security software and devices generates thousands of log entries every hour.

In small IT environments an administrator is able to review these log files on a regular basis and attempt to identify anomalies, but as the number of devices on a network grows, it becomes impossible to effectively monitor all the logged events manually; not only because of the volume of log entries but also because of the distributed nature of larger networks.

Event correlation makes sense of multiple log entries from multiple devices including routers, firewalls, proxy servers, content filters, VPN concentrators and other devices and software. Analysis is executed in real-time, allowing security incidents to be identified immediately.

Nclose assists your organization with gauging factors such as organization size, amount of data and devices, and the types of reports required; ensuring that the correct solution is implemented on your network.

System and Network Monitoring

Nclose considers system and network monitoring as much a security function as a function of network administration.

The ability to monitor network activity and system availability can become an essential security tool when proactively managing your network. This information is also valuable for capacity planning and is often required by auditors.

Combined with event correlation and log consolidation, this aspect of network management completes a network and security monitoring solution.
