EventLog Analyzer tracks logon and logoff activities, privileged user access, unsuccessful logon attempts, system events, successful or unsuccessful user account validations, and terminal service sessions across the network.

Audit object access

Audit object and log access to spot malicious activities

Easily drill down to the root cause of critical network events like log clearance or confidential object modification by unauthorized users. The file integrity monitoring module of EventLog Analyzer enables you to probe and receive a detailed overview about who or what accessed your organization's confidential data.

The solution also facilitates forensic analysis and conducts exhaustive SOX compliance audit trails for log accesses to find out if any logs have been tampered with. You will also comply with SOX's section 302 (a) (4) (A), (C) & (D) by monitoring these activities.

Monitor user and policy change

Track individual user actions and policy changes

SOX Section 302 (a)(5) expects organizations to implement procedures to audit internal controls and user management policies. EventLog Analyzer's individual user action report allows you to keep track of users' logons and logoffs, session activities, file or directory accesses, privileged user activities, and more. The solution conducts SOX compliance audits to notify users about security level changes to the audit policies.

Review user account changes

Review user account and group changes in the network

Adhere to SOX Section 302 (a)(6) by monitoring and tracking all security configuration changes at the user and group levels as well as computer and user account management changes. Described here is the process for Unix systems, but this approaching is generally applicable to other systems. EventLog Analyzer sends instant alerts via email or SMS when critical changes are made to user and group accounts, such as adding or removing groups, user accounts, and members.

Frequently asked questions

What is SOX?

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, is a law enacted in the United States to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and protection of financial information from unnecessary disclosures by business entities. This compliance regulation is designed to increase the transparency around financial reporting with defined processes for internal controls. SOX protects the public's financial data from unwanted exposure, insider threats, cyberattacks, and security breaches.

What are the different sections listed in SOX compliance?

SOX compliance has 11 titles, and each title is further divided into sections. The most important sections within SOX are listed below:

  • Section 302: Mandates a set of internal audit procedures to ensure accurate financial disclosure.
  • Section 404: Requires management and external auditors to audit internal and access controls.
  • Section 409: Mandates disclosing financial conditions or operational changes in the enterprise to the public.
  • Section 802: Explains the criminal charges and sentencing for companies that fail to comply with SOX.
  • Section 906: States the implications of filing misleading or fraudulent reports.

Who must comply with SOX?

The following industries and companies are mandated to comply with SOX and conduct SOX compliance audits:

  • Publicly-traded companies, foreign institutions, and subsidiaries
  • Accounting firms
  • Private companies planning an IPO

Charities, private companies, and nonprofit organizations are not required to comply with SOX. However, when any organization destroys or exhibits false financial information, SOX holds the authority to issue penalties for non-compliance.

How does SOX compliance relate to data security?

SOX focuses on ensuring that organizations that deal with the public's financial data maintain the necessary standards to protect this information from data breaches and unauthorized accesses. There are dedicated clauses, like SOX sections 302, 404, and 409, that require monitoring, logging, and regular auditing of network activities. These include database, login, account and user activities; internal controls; and information access.

Monitoring these actions helps organizations gain better understanding of what's happening in the network and detect anomalies, breaches, and cyberattacks in the early stages. With SOX reporting software like EventLog Analyzer, you can automate these actions and curb cyberattacks effectively.
