How can syslog-ng PE help your business?
Regulatory Compliance
If your organization is subject to internal (e.g., COBIT) or external regulations (e.g., PCI-DSS or ISO2700x) and has to audit its IT infrastructure, syslog-ng PE helps you to secure your logging infrastructure by storing the log messages in signed, encrypted, and timestamped log files. Building your logging infrastructure on syslog-ng PE will enable you passing compliance audits easily, and simplify localizing evidence in forensics situations, as well.
Improving SIEM operation
You can significantly improve the reliability of your Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution with only a small extra cost, if you connect your existing system with syslog-ng PE. It is the best tool to optimize preprocessing and to get the best TCO out of your SIEM installation. The syslog-ng application is fully compatible with all widespread log analyzer and SIEM solutions.
