| GFI EventsManager Discovers What Is Happening on Your Network GFI has launched GFI EventsManager, its next generation solution for centralized event log management and reporting. GFI's latest release delivers insight into all that is happening on the IT infrastructure and ensures maximum network uptime; acting as an early-warning system for all potential hardware and software failures, whilst monitoring and alerting on possible security breaches. GFI EventsManager has also been developed to satisfy the increasing demands of event-log based legal compliance. Research shows that 44% of companies do not perform event log management, primarily quoting sheer volume of data to manage as well as the cryptic nature of the information contained within them as the main reasons. These challenges often lead to event logs being unmanaged, underutilized and ignored – until disaster strikes. Events constitute an invaluable source of information, answering core questions about security breaches, IT infrastructure health status, legal compliance and forensic investigation. GFI EventsManager is a results-oriented event log management solution which integrates into any existing IT infrastructure; automatically collecting event data from all network components, normalizing it to a central database and providing meaningful reports on its findings. With continuous 24 hour activity monitoring and alerting, GFI EventsManager empowers the administrator to prevent network disasters through notification of illicit activity or possible hardware and software failures on their network, supplying info such as; which software is being installed/uninstalled, health status of Microsoft Exchange and other servers, which users are accessing sensitive files, login related activity and more. More experienced IT managers know that the data contained in event logs is their most valuable resource in examining system failures and security breaches. Companies are now also legally bound to retain and proactively review their event logs as part of their daily business operations. The retention of secure archives of events in their native format is critical in providing evidence of legal compliance. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
