Web server and FTP server auditing

Web server and FTP server auditing

Detect web server attacks and get notified in real time by auditing Microsoft IIS web server logs, FTP server logs, and Apache web server logs using EventLog Analyzer. This versatile FERPA compliance software provides detailed reports on error events (such as client and server errors), password changes, HTTP bad requests, and security attacks (such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and DoS). You can also monitor uploaded, downloaded, and deleted files on the IIS and Unix FTP servers using FTP server reports.

Removable device auditing

Removable device auditing

One way through which sensitive data can be stolen is USB devices. With EventLog Analyzer, you can track the usage of removable devices by collecting, monitoring, and analyzing server and workstation logs from a single console. Based on the collected logs, EventLog Analyzer generates detailed graphical reports, providing insights into each instance of USB usage within the network and into the operations conducted using these removable disks. In addition to generating reports, EventLog Analyzer alerts you in real time whenever a removable device is used for a data transfer.

Database activity monitoring

Database activity monitoring

EventLog Analyzer offers comprehensive database auditing, monitoring access to confidential student records stored on database servers. By collecting and analyzing database server logs, EventLog Analyzer generates reports that help you monitor database logons, queries executed on the database, changes made to the database, permission changes, SQL injection attacks, DoS attacks, and more. Get real-time alerts via email and SMS when any suspicious activity occurs on your database server.

Network attack reporting

Network attack reporting

Detect security threats accurately and identify attack patterns with EventLog Analyzer's threat intelligence and event correlation capabilities. With over 30 prebuilt correlation rules, a custom correlation builder, and dynamically updated threat feeds, our compliance solution helps you detect cyberattacks at the earliest stages. You can also find exhaustive reports on specific attacks, with details on the entry point, involved user, severity level, source, and event ID. This wealth of information helps you take swift remediation measures to avoid full-scale attacks.
