How to Perform Network-Wide Security Event Log Monitoring

Overview Microsoft Windows machines have basic audit facilities but they fall short of fulfilling real-life business needs (i.e., monitoring Windows computers in real-time, periodically analyzing security activity, and maintaining a long-term audit trail). Therefore, the need exists for a log-based intrusion detection and analysis tool such as GFI LANguard Security Event Log Monitor (S.E.L.M.). This paper explains how GFI LANguard S.E.L.M.'s innovative architecture can fill the gaps in Windows' security log functionality - without hurting performance and while remaining cost-effective.
