Acenseo - Cloud Auditing

 

  Cloud Auditing

  Automates monitoring, enforcement, and reporting of security controls and processes...

 



Cloud computing transforms the way organizations deliver and manage IT services. But auditing virtualized servers and other cloud-enabled services presents the same challenges as physical systems. Enterprises still need to monitor and analyze system data, regardless of where it’s deployed.

If your business runs virtual systems and applications, you need to know how and how often these assets are being used and how well the underlying physical and virtual infrastructure components are performing. As is the case with physical systems, when it comes to the cloud, enterprises must also manage compliance, incident response, eDiscovery requests, massive amounts of log data, and increasingly-demanding service level agreements.

If your business provides cloud or managed services, you face challenges similar to running a massive physical infrastructure. This includes assuring performance and availability across highly-complex IT environments, meeting audit and compliance requirements for clients, and ensuring continuous situational awareness while securing client infrastructures.

LogLogic addresses these cloud auditing challenges by indexing any data in any format—from both physical systems and virtual environments—without normalization or connectors since LogLogic does not rely on back-end databases or predefined schemas. IT can thus analyze data to troubleshoot and resolve problems with time-based correlation and ad-hoc discovery of fields and values. IT also gains rich analytics on user behavior, usage patterns, operating anomalies, and workflow deviations.


Virtualization and Cloud Readiness

  • Utilizes data about application performance, usage-related analytics, and end-user behavior to improve the efficiency of your cloud operations
  • Provides real-time, operationally-contextual, built-in auditing and reporting of both physical and cloud-enabled services
  • Automates monitoring, enforcement, and reporting of security controls and processes
  • Reduces risk and exposure to attack by searching and analyzing all IT data, audit trails and other security-related data across the entire cloud infrastructure
  • Improves end-user satisfaction by ensuring adherence with service level agreements
  • Mitigates the risk of critical system and application downtime by automating troubleshooting based on behavioral-based correlation rules
  • Helps troubleshoot breaks or latency in the end-to-end workflow of business operations to prevent prolonged system and application issues from impacting business
