Logentries Launches Monitoring Service for Windows Security Events

Log management and analytics provider Logentries has unveiled a new alerting and monitoring service for Windows Security events.

Logentries said the new release, Windows Security Event integration, is a cloud-based service that provides automated monitoring, analysis and notifications for Windows Security incidents in real-time.

“With automated notification, users know immediately when a security event has occurred and can easily dig into the log events to quickly understand what their users have been doing,” Logentries co-founder Trevor Parsons said in a prepared statement.

Windows Security Event integration notifies users about events such as:     

“[The integration] makes it extremely easy to get automatically notified when these types of events occur and provides the ability to drill down to key events when an investigation is underway,” Parsons told Talkin’ Cloud.

Logentries’ new integration collects logs in any format and pre-processes them for real-time analysis, alerting and visualization.

The integration also offers custom filtering and tagging, which allows users to correlate security and performance issues with broader infrastructure activity, the company said.

Logentries’ Windows Security Event integration supports all versions of Windows Event Logs, and a free 30-day trial of the company’s log management and analytics service is available for download here.

Logentries adds AWS CloudTrail integration support

Logentries has included its Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudTrail integration with automated alerting system for Windows security activity.

This integration allows Logentries users to “easily centralize, search and analyze their AWS log data in minutes,” according to the company.

“With so many of our users on the AWS platform, Logentries wants to assure that we proactively support their specific security concerns and most common security incidents,” Parsons said.

Logentries supports more than 25,000 users worldwide, and Parsons said his company will continue to help its customers identify and resolve security issues.

“We believe that proactive log monitoring is essential to proactively identifying security incidents and addressing them quickly,” he said.
