Compliant Log Management

Complete Log Management for meeting your security and compliance needs. Whether it's Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI, GLBA, FISMA, FDIC, or HIPAA, the intent is the same: U.S. government agencies expect you to automatically monitor access to your IT systems and provide proof that policies exist and are being enforced. LogCaster let's you do that.

  • Automate Log Management Practices. LogCaster automates event consolidation, collection, alerting and reporting across the enterprise to ensure compliance mandates are met.
  • Manage Security Policies Enterprise-wide. LogCaster reviews configurations across your systems and highlights weaknesses to help you align practices enterprise-wide.
  • Monitor Security Practices. LogCaster monitors security practices 24/7 across disparate systems and devices to ensure policies are always enforced, day or night, around the world.
  • Thwart Suspicious Activity. LogCaster send real-time alerts to your console to warn you of suspicious activity and provides detailed information to enable you to take action.
  • Maintain Proof of Security Policies. LogCaster maintains a detailed audit trail and centralized database of all activity from all systems enterprise-wide with summary reports and drill-down to detailed session.

Log Analysis? Proof of Compliance? Raw Log Storage?

We can do that. NitroView LogCaster provides universal log collection, including binary logs and custom application logs. Logs are stored in their original form, encrypted and validated to ensure proof-of-compliance. Logs are also capable of triggering events, letting you know when suspicious activity has occurred. NitroView LogCaster is a great solution on its own, and also the perfect companion to NitroView ESM.

NitroView ESM provides universal collection of events (including LogCaster events), network flows, security events from firewalls, IDS and IPS devices, servers and hosts. NitroView ESM offers massive storage capabilities and real-time analytical capabilities—allowing you to perform forensic analysis of all NitroView ESM also provides correlation of events, flows and logs— offering one of the most comprehensive incident detection systems available.

Use them on their own, or together.

NitroView LogCaster and NitroView ESM work well together: using LogCaster to store and protect raw logs, and using NitroView ESM to perform deep analytics on supported log files.

Universal Log Collection

Syslog, database or application logs, even binary log files can be collected by NitroView LogCaster. Available in three forms—agent, agent-less, or network-based—NitroView LogCaster offers a complete log management solution that can fit any environment.

Logs need to be stored for compliance purposes, but they also need to be managed.
