SECURITY EVENT LOGGING
& MONITORING
Make quicker, more informed decisions
Diagnosing and Assessing the Health of Your Application Environments
Security event logging and monitoring involves the continuous collection, storage, processing, and analysis of data from various programs and applications to enhance system performance, detect technical issues, optimize resource management, strengthen security, and ensure compliance.
Every action within your environment constitutes a security event. Logging all these events is essential for maintaining visibility and control over your technology infrastructure.
How can security monitoring benefit you?
Security event logging and monitoring services assist clients in efficiently filtering through system and audit logs, ensuring that only relevant records are retained for analysis.
By implementing effective logging and monitoring, organizations can safeguard sensitive information and, through detailed trend analysis, uncover valuable insights to enhance their security management strategies.
Devfuzion's Security Event Logging
& Monitoring Services
Devfuzion’s Security Logging and Monitoring Services assist clients in managing information overload by focusing on critical events that affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their sensitive data.
Our team uses a comprehensive log data collection and analysis process to examine audit logs for key events such as:
- Failed login attempts – Multiple unsuccessful login attempts could indicate a brute-force attack.
- Successful login attempts – Tracking who logged in and from where can help identify unauthorized access.
- Privilege escalation – Changes in user roles or permissions, especially to administrative levels.
- Access to sensitive data – Monitoring when sensitive or classified data is accessed, copied, or modified.
- Changes to firewall settings – Any modification to firewall rules or security configurations.
- System crashes or errors – Unexpected system crashes or application errors that may indicate potential vulnerabilities.
- Malware detection or alerts – Notifications related to detected malware or suspicious behavior.
- Network traffic spikes – Unusual increases in traffic, which could indicate a DDoS attack or data exfiltration.
- File modifications or deletions – Unusual changes or deletions of important system or user files.
- Unauthorized access attempts to restricted areas – Access to areas of the network or systems that are protected by higher levels of security.
- New user account creation – Creation of new accounts, especially if done by unauthorized users.
- Failed or delayed patch installations – Issues related to the application of security patches, which could leave vulnerabilities unaddressed.
- Changes in system configurations – Alterations to system settings that could weaken security controls.
- Device or system joins/disconnects – New devices connecting to the network or the disconnection of critical devices.
- Anomalous behavior or patterns – Unusual activity patterns that might suggest insider threats or external breaches.
- Privilege assignment/removal – Assigning or removing user privileges, especially those related to access control or admin rights.
- Access to or changes in security logs – Unauthorized attempts to view, delete, or alter security logs.
- Suspicious use of encryption – Unusual encryption or decryption activity that may indicate data theft or exfiltration.
- System or security tool tampering – Changes or disabling of antivirus software, SIEM tools, or other security measures.
- Changes in multi-factor authentication settings – Adjustments to multi-factor authentication configurations that could weaken security.
A key feature of our service is the continuous and long-term trend analysis, which helps identify unauthorized activities and assess the effectiveness of existing security controls. Security event logging and monitoring act as a vital detective control within an organization’s information security framework.
