Conducting forensic analysis for breach impact

In the event of a security breach, archived logs are invaluable for forensic analysis. Log360 plays a crucial role in facilitating incident response and forensic investigation. By providing detailed logs and audit trails, this HIPAA compliance tool empowers you to conduct thorough log forensic analysis. Leveraging its powerful log search functionality and high-speed log processing, you can effectively drill down into raw logs related to any security incident using a variety of search queries, including wildcard, phrase, boolean, and grouped searches. You can also use event IDs, severity, source, username, and IP address to identify unauthorized access, unusual logons, application errors, and more. Through this, security teams can quickly access relevant log data to understand the scope and impact of the breach, identify the root cause, and take appropriate remedial actions.

Log archival for evidence gathering

In accordance with HIPAA compliance regulations, logs must be retained for a minimum of six years. Log archiving creates a comprehensive audit trail that not only meets regulatory requirements but also bolsters data integrity and accountability. In the event of a security incident, a detailed user audit trail allows investigators to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the incident, identify the scope of the impact, gather evidence, and determine the root cause. They help in understanding how the breach occurred, the scope of the breach, and the data that was compromised. This information is crucial for effective incident response and for preventing future breaches.
