Tripwire updates Log Center solution

Tripwire announced the availability of its Log Center TLC 7.0 featuring the first phase of integration with IP360, as well as Tripwire’s new VIA Agent, log intelligence, and correlation analytics designed to improve log intelligence.

The increase in sophisticated, targeted attacks in combination with an explosive increase in the volume of security data makes it increasingly difficult for enterprises to respond quickly to security events connected with cyber attacks.

The sheer volume of log data alone makes it hard for organizations to provide the high-speed analysis and filtering of event data necessary to respond quickly and efficiently to the expanding number of security events.

In addition, auditors are demanding evidence of complete log collection. Advanced evidence of log information is required for compliance with version five of the North American Electric Reliability Standards (NERC CIP v5) and is expected to be required soon by the PCI DSS and HIPAA.

The Tripwire Log Center solution, powered by the Tripwire VIA agent, collects, analyzes and correlates log data from devices, servers, applications and automated security processes to improve security and simplify compliance. Collected data is analyzed and filtered so only actionable and relevant events are sent to IT security teams or forwarded to SIEM systems.

“Our customers are focused on protecting critical data and infrastructure, and it’s paramount that they detect data breaches quickly and accurately,” said Dwayne Melancon, chief technology officer for Tripwire. “TLC 7.0 is designed to deliver strategic value to our customers by helping them meet these challenges in the face of increasingly-intense cyber attacks. This release also represents the first significant milestone in the integration of the former nCircle product line into Tripwire solutions.”
