Blue Lance announced today the availability of LT Auditor+ for Syslogs™, v2.0, which enables customers to audit and monitor security event logs across Linux and UNIX-based servers, network communication devices, firewall appliances and any application capable of generating Syslog messages. The enhanced version monitors individual access and accountability, data integrity, unauthorized access and helps detect and report intrusive activity across the enterprise. LT Auditor+ for Syslogs provides powerful and customized content-based message processing and detailed reporting capabilities to monitor a variety of platforms, including Linux and UNIX. This highly flexible monitoring solution takes complex Syslog messages and converts them into more useful security information using various message enhancement strategies. LT Auditor for Syslogs’ real-time alert feature issues notifications of exceptional events to security administrators so they can be documented and investigated before they become major liabilities. As regulations relating to internal computer controls become more pervasive, LT Auditor+ for Syslogs also helps enterprises comply with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA and HIPAA by providing detailed audit trails and accountability measures in real time.
“We are challenged with achieving regulatory compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley section 404 and condensing detailed reports from our firewall to send to our auditors for review,” said Lucas McClellan, Network Analyst of Alsons Corporation. “We are extremely satisfied with the way the product has enabled us to provide transparency for our auditors. LT Auditor+ for Syslogs is not only a powerful auditing and monitoring tool for our Linux environment, it allows us to focus on running our business while the auditors promptly get exactly what they need from us.”
This recently updated solution can detect a broader range of subversive activities that may occur within UNIX and Linux systems. Fully integrated with Blue Lance’s powerful SQL-based report generator, LT Auditor+ for Syslogs offers users the ability to define and run reports based on the content within the Syslog messages and consolidate the audit data to a centralized database to simplify historical analysis and cross-platform reporting.
"LT Auditor+ for Syslogs, v2.0 elevates our solution to the next level,” said Bill Rudolfsky, chief security officer, Blue Lance. "We have responded to our customers needs for new data harvesting capabilities, including the ability to pull events out of native operating system audit trails in real-time and perform integrity checking on critical files. We are not guided by a what-we-get is what-you-see philosophy. Through our structured reporting and other message enhancement strategies, we help our customers receive the information they need in a simple, organized format.”
