What features does EventLog Analyzer offer?

Centralized log collection and management

EventLog Analyzer comprehensively collects logs from multiple sources, including Windows and Linux operating systems, firewalls, routers, databases, and cloud applications such as Microsoft 365 or AWS. The data is centralized in a single interface, streamlining management for security teams and administrators. For example, an IT manager in a healthcare company can monitor logs from patient data servers while overseeing access to sensitive databases.

Real-time threat analysis and monitoring

With its real-time analysis engine, EventLog Analyzer identifies and notifies users of anomalous activities or suspicious behavior. Automated alerts detect critical events such as:

• Unauthorized privilege escalation on a server.
• Waves of failed login attempts, indicating brute-force attacks.
• Massive file transfers outside of office hours.

This functionality is particularly useful for large enterprise security teams, enabling them to respond before threats cause damage.

Advanced compliance reporting

EventLog Analyzer includes report templates for regulations such as GDPR, SOX, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. These reports can be generated with a few clicks, making them essential for regulated sectors like finance or government. For instance, a bank can easily demonstrate that it monitors and limits access to critical systems during external audits.

Advanced event correlation

With its powerful data correlation, EventLog Analyzer links events to detect complex attacks or security incidents. For example, it can combine login logs, file modification logs, and network activity to identify a potential ransomware attack, enabling immediate team action.

Detailed network activity monitoring

The software provides a comprehensive analysis of network traffic, including configuration changes on devices, unusual downloads, or malware activity. For instance, a government institution can monitor unauthorized access attempts to critical infrastructure and receive instant alerts to mitigate threats.

Customizable alerts and incident management

EventLog Analyzer allows organizations to set up granular alerts tailored to their specific needs. Alerts can be delivered via email, SMS, or third-party apps like Slack. For example, university administrators can be notified if a student attempts to access a restricted administrative server.

Secure and compressed log archiving

To meet audit requirements and ensure full event traceability, EventLog Analyzer stores logs in a compressed and encrypted format, maintaining their integrity. This is especially valuable for companies that must retain data for years while complying with information management regulations.

Fast and simplified search

The software features an advanced search bar to filter and find precise information within large volumes of logs. For example, an administrator can quickly search for logs related to a specific IP address, streamlining the resolution of complex incidents.
