The challenge: Finding a comprehensive SIEM solution for all its security needs
Direct Transact needed a solution that could help ensure data security by keeping the network safe from mishaps arising from inadvertent security breaches and also help comply with regulatory mandates. The organization also needed help in spotting ongoing attack attempts from hackers. Though this may sound simple, finding a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that caters to all these security needs is no easy task.
The solution: ManageEngine Log360 for advanced threat detection and mitigation
When the other SIEM solutions Direct Transact evaluated didn't meet its security and monitoring needs, it decided to give ManageEngine Log360 a shot. The solution's capabilities in monitoring and auditing network devices, detecting and mitigating cyberattacks and threats, and actively helping comply with regulatory mandates convinced the company to continue using Log360 after the 30-day, free trial.
When asked about the security challenges faced by the company, Arthur Spickett, an ICT systems engineer at Direct Transact, mentioned that failed logons and authentication and port scans from malicious sources were the main security threats it faces. With regard to the hacking attempts, he said,
"An active hacking attempt was picked up by the network team and the evidence needed was pulled from Log360."
He added that, unlike the previous solutions, Log360 helped Direct Transact resolve all its security needs and has become an integral part of the organization's cybersecurity operations.
