BalaBit Announces New Release of Its syslog-ng Store Box™ Log Management Appliance
The turn-key appliance for log management helps meet compliance requirements while lowers the operational risks and costs. BalaBit IT Security – also known as the “syslog-ng company” – today announced the general availability of syslog-ng Store Box™ 3.0, the latest long term supported version of its trusted log server appliance.
New York, NY, May 19, 2012 --(PR.com)-- This latest version includes new features such as real time message rate alerts and improved search and log message rewriting capabilities. The syslog-ng Store Box™ (SSB) is a high-reliability log management appliance to collect, classify, organize, and securely store log messages for enterprises having log infrastructure for compliance and maintenance reasons. As an “out-of-the-box” log server SSB consolidates enterprise-wide logging needs helping organizations to lower operational risks and costs.
Several laws, regulations and industrial standards – such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) – explicitly require central collection, periodic review, and long-time archiving of log messages at organizations. With syslog-ng Store Box™, computer security records are stored in sufficient detail, and provide a simple way to monitor and review these logs. Routine log reviews and continuous log analysis help to identify security incidents, policy violations, or other operational problems. Logs also often form the base of auditing and forensics analysis, product troubleshooting and support.
"The difference between today’s and tomorrow’s logging trends is that today organizations have to log for compliance purposes, while there are more and more cloud-based services handling a loads of data which require dramatically improved performance capabilities to ensure smooth business operation. BalaBit satisfies these upcoming market needs with its latest syslog-ng software developments: the High-Speed Reliable Logging™ (HSRL) technology, and the Reliable Log Transfer Protocol™ (RLTP) to help companies achieve 'Zero Message Loss' and comply with even the most stringent regulations," said Zoltán Györkő, Business Development Director at BalaBit IT Security. “The syslog-ng Store Box™ appliance is based on the proven syslog-ng technology and will contain HSRL and RLTP in the next updates. SSB 3 LTS is now satisfies today’s market needs and allows customers to build an efficient log management system for reviewing and auditing the logs of over 40 platforms, as an out of box solution,” Györkő added.
Key new features of syslog-ng Store Box™ 3.0 LTS:
• Real-time message rate alerts can be received to detect the following abnormalities in SSB: in case one of the clients/sites sending logs is not detectable or one of the clients/sites is sending too many logs, probably unnecessarily, or when syslog-ng inside SSB has stopped working or has been misconfigured.
• Extended searching capabilities helps to search even for wildcards and Boolean expressions.
• Improved log message rewriting enables to rewrite parts of the messages using rewrite rules. Several built-in and all dynamic parts of the message can be rewritten and new fields can be added using this feature.
• A switch to 64-bit architecture is used to power SSB in order to expose the capabilities of the underlying hardware to the fullest.
