Log Management

Compliance, optimization of IT operations or preparation for a security incident: Our log management system makes implementation easier.

How time-consuming is log management?

If you want to implement a log management solution in your company, there are various approaches you can consider. For example:

Using a SIEM solution

Operation of your own ELK stack (Elasticsearch) or a NoSQL database

Using a cloud provider

For every solution approach, you need personnel capacities, specialist knowledge and experience in the area of log management in your IT team.

If you lack the necessary know-how or resources, it makes sense to implement a log management tool “as a service”: Trovent Log Management.

What is Trovent Log Management?

Trovent Log Management is a service where you don’t have to worry about a thing. We take care of everything for you.

All we need is the hardware resources you provide, on-premise or in the cloud. This means your log data remains fully GDPR-compliant in your own data storage.

The Trovent log management system uses common software components from the ELK stack. This means you remain independent in case of doubt and have the option of taking over the further operation of log management internally at any time.

Trovent Log Management:
Your advantages

Data sovereignty
  • Your data remains in the company, under your control (on-premise or cloud).
  • You have easy access to the raw data.
GDPR-ready
  • The solution is GDPR-ready thanks to extensive pseudonymization functions.
Simple connection
  • Log sources are connected using available standard parsers.
  • Connection of non-standardized, unusual sources is possible with little effort.
Scalability
  • Good scalability thanks to a volume-independent pricing model. You get flexible options for long-term storage of log data, without hidden cost escalation.
Delivery as a service
  • Trovent Log Management is ready to go immediately “as a service”, without burdening your existing IT team.
Independence
  • No vendor lock-in: the data is stored in Elasticsearch, the log parsers in Logstash.
  • If desired, the solution can also continue to be operated by your internal IT team as a regular ELK stack – independently of Trovent.
Forensic prevention
  • In the event of a security incident, you are able to provide an IT forensic expert or CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) with all the necessary log data in a central location.
  • By introducing Trovent Log Management, you create the database to enable an IT forensic expert to carry out their work effectively in an emergency.

Seamless upgrade possibilities

By setting up a log management tool and thus having log data sources available in a central location, you create a very good basis for implementing modular and effective attack detection.

This means that you can also use the collected log data to implement an MDR (Managed Detection and Response) solution.

Trovent MDR uses the existing database in log management for rule-based and machine learning-supported attack detection. This enables you to derive maximum benefit from the log data of your IT infrastructure.
