Tripwire SIEM benefits include passing IT audits and more

Need to prove PCI compliance? Tripwire has it covered with out-of the-box compliance solutions. All the reports and alerts necessary to ensure compliance are included, plus real-time notifications that help IT maintain continuous compliance.

Tripwire Log Center was built from the ground up with integrated log and event management. Because Tripwire Log Center shares log collectors, consoles, reporting correlation rules and more, both normalized event data and raw log data can be accessed seamlessly from one interface with lightning speed.

Tripwire Log Center is an all-software solution that makes it possible to scale quickly and easily without the overhead of traditional appliance-based security information and event management systems.

Search for events from the raw log date or use freeform, Google-like keyword searches to provide quick access to forensic evidence.

Tripwire Log Center provides real-time alerting, making it possible to track sequences of events from multiple sources. Plus, immediate notification of suspicious activities reduce the cost and complexity normally associated with SIEM solutions.

Tripwire Log Center supports all popular log transmission protocols (e.g. Syslog, UDP/TCP, SNMP v1-3, database, Windows WMI, Cisco SDEE, SQL, FTP, SFTP, File Copy, CheckPoint OPSEC, you get the picture) so you immediately start collecting logs from virtually any source.

Tripwire includes a massive set of pre-defined normalization rules for the most popular devices and applications (see list below). This means it’s possible to collect both log and event information from virtually any hardware.

Unlike traditional log and event management tools, Tripwire Log Center applies normalization rules on raw log data after it is captured, not before. This means there’s no need to know the log schema to capture logs from a new device or application. Plus, Tripwire makes it simple to dynamically add to or edit the schema to support a new log format based on raw data already collected.

Tripwire makes advanced correlation rule creation extremely simple. Tripwire Log Center delivers a drag-and-drop rule creator that makes it easy to create and customize correlation rules to identify and alert IT teams to a complex combination of events. Sophisticated rules can be created in Tripwire Log Center as long as Visio is available.

Tripwire Log Center captures and stores all events so IT teams can hit rewind and watch the replay. With slow motion visual activity maps, it’s easy to see the impact of suspicious activities. This can be used as a forensic tool for pinpointing the parts of the infrastructure affected by an incident, or for replaying events to see how an attack entered and dispersed through the network.

From within Tripwire Log Center, Tripwire makes it possible to generate tickets so incidents can be prioritized and tracked. Plus, this functionality can be integrated with a third-party ticketing tool.
