DE.AE-03.294

Does your organization centralize log data by continuously transferring logs from multiple sources to a consolidated set of log servers?

Explanation

Centralizing logs on dedicated servers improves security monitoring capabilities by creating a single location for analysis, correlation, and alerting on security events. This approach protects log integrity by separating logs from the systems that generate them, making it harder for attackers to tamper with evidence of their activities. It also simplifies compliance requirements by standardizing log management and retention practices across the organization. Evidence could include documentation of the log collection architecture showing log sources and destination servers, screenshots of log aggregation tool configurations, or a network diagram illustrating the log data flow from source systems to centralized log servers.

Implementation Example

Constantly transfer log data generated by other sources to a relatively small number of log servers

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
