McAfee Enterprise Log Manager

Compliant log collection, storage, and management

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee Enterprise Log Manager automates log management and analysis for all log types, including Windows Event logs, Database logs, Application logs, and Syslogs. Logs are signed and validated, ensuring authenticity and integrity — a necessity for regulatory compliance. Out-of-the-box compliance rule sets and reports make it simple to prove your organization is in compliance and policies are being enforced.

Using this tightly integrated log collection, management, and analysis environment will both strengthen your security profile and dramatically improve your ability to comply with over 240 standards, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, NERC-CIP, FISMA, GLBA, and SOX.

Intelligent log management — Enterprise Log Manager collects logs intelligently, storing the right logs for compliance, and parsing and analyzing those logs for security. You can retain logs in their original format for as long as you require for specific compliance needs. Since we do not alter the original log files, McAfee supports chain of custody and non-repudiation efforts.

Integrated with Enterprise Security Manager — Enterprise Log Manager is an optional, integrated part of McAfee Enterprise Security Manager. While Enterprise Log Manager stores the logs, they can be deeply parsed, normalized, and analyzed by Enterprise Security Manager. Log information is immediately available for real-time security investigations and incident response.

  • No Sleep for Security – McAfee ePO and Intel vPro
    Ed Metcalf - May 15, 2012
    You are not scanning your enterprise for malware often enough. Nobody is. Informal polls of customers and security professionals show that “Wednesday at noon” is the typical schedule for a full virus scan. The explanation for this timing boils down to “people are usually in the office on Wednesday and eating lunch around noon.” Some Read more...
