Strengthening cybersecurity: How Log360 helps SafeRack strengthen its network security

Challenges

SafeRack must constantly guard its security perimeter because it often shares its network resources with third parties such as suppliers and other vendors. This causes the perimeter to expand, leading to more attack opportunities. Securing important data, like intellectual property and sensitive customer information, from adversaries required a solution that would help SafeRack proactively hunt for threats, investigate them, and resolve them.

Loy Dsouza, system administrator at SafeRack, also said that the company faced challenges in detecting identity-based security threats, such as account compromises, privilege misuse, anomalous authentications, and suspicious sensitive data modifications.

The Solution

SafeRack was looking for a solution that could help it proactively hunt for threats, tackle identity-based security threats, monitor and audit its network devices and applications, and also stay ahead in compliance management. ManageEngine Log360, a unified SIEM solution with integrated DLP and CASB capabilities, was able to meet all the company's requirements. "Log360 has become an integral part of our cybersecurity operation," said Dsouza. Using Log360, SafeRack was able to:

• Swiftly audit and analyze security data points from different sources across the network with the intuitive and interactive graphical dashboard.
• Immediately spot and automatically block malicious traffic in the network with the advanced threat analytics module.
• Detect insider threats and user-based attacks more easily than ever before with user and entity behavior analytics.
• Sift through voluminous log data and conduct forensic analysis effectively with the search console.
• Receive audit-ready compliance reports and violation alerts that made compliance audits a breeze with the integrated compliance management component.

"Specifically, SafeRack was able to detect privilege abuse and effectively manage privileged accounts from being compromised," said Dsouza.
