Log Management: a growing imperative for security and diagnostics!
WHAT ARE LOG FILES AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MANAGE THEM PROPERLY?
Log files contain an "image" of operations (events) that occur during daily production activities of a hardware and/or software systems. The operations performed (events) are recorded in chronological order.
An adequate management of logs allows monitoring the activities and facilitates the reconstruction of an entire production process, including the identification of any anomalies, faults, or violations. Log files are therefore very useful to support safety and diagnostics, helping to accelerate the resolution of issues and identifying unauthorized events. Furthermore, keeping remote copies of the log files allows you to analyze any system troubles, even though the system is not accessible.
Outstandingly, log files become important assets to meet data-protection and service-continuity requirements. Some economic forecasts maintain that Log Management market is expected to grow from $2.24 billion in 2021 to $5.21 billion by 2028. it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.8% (Source: The Insight Partner April, 2022 ).
It is therefore important and valuable for companies and production systems to invest in log management software, such as BChaniLogManager, a powerful and effective tool that enables recording, archiving and analyzing event logs of production activity.
WHY USE BChainLogManager FOR LOG MANAGEMENT?
BChainLogManager is an all-in-one software solution designed to manage infrastructure and security event logging, from acquisition to security-audit and analysis. BChainLogManager allows real time acquiring and recording event logging information. By reviewing the log files, it is possible to monitor and analyze the production processes flow.
Log files are recorded under a special data structure (blockchain), which main functionality is to mask and preserve the content of each record throughout its life cycle, from acquisition to storage. Records integrity is a fundamental requirement for safety and compliance. Blockchain technology also allows complete traceability of any abuses or violations, which constitutes digital proof.
The software was created to be used in applications with high security levels or with compliance requirements, such as the banking business, but it can be used by all businesses for security monitoring of IoT, SaaS, customized applications, and more. Audit logs can be kept for as long as it is required, thanks to its featured data-storage intelligent management.
BChainLogManager is compatible with CIM softwares and, by using its API interface, it can be integrated with common production software and corporate infrastructures, even in complex organizations.
