New EventLog Analyzer API Enables Company?s SIEM Solution to Feed Reams of Normalized Log Data into Any Third-Party Application
PLEASANTON, Calif. - July 16, 2014 - ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced a new API that enables third-party tools to access log data generated by EventLog Analyzer, its security information and event management (SIEM) solution. Available immediately, the EventLog Analyzer API lets security administrators feed reams of normalized log data into any third-party application, including crowd-sourced threat intelligence solutions, vulnerability assessment platforms, business intelligence tools or even custom applications for advanced security intelligence and threat protection.
Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly complex, and cyberattacks have become an international crisis. Though the market is flooded with various types of IT security analytics solutions, no single solution could offer effective protection against all emerging threats. Combating advanced threats requires information security solutions to integrate with each other, share data and intelligence, and ultimately protect businesses.
"While security visibility across all elements of IT infrastructure has become essential, most organizations cannot afford huge investment on big data analytics. The current enhancements in EventLog Analyzer bridge this crucial gap," said Chenthil Kumaran, product manager at ManageEngine. "The benefits of this integration are numerous, but the effort to leverage them is negligible. It does not require professional services or any additional investment to leverage the benefits."
Though SIEM solutions have been offering provisions to import data from varied sources, such integrations are fraught with many limitations. In the absence of proper correlation and data processing, feeding terabytes of data to the SIEM solution will not offer the required protection. EventLog Analyzer shatters all these limitations by opening up its database for integration with any third-party application.
Security administrators can leverage this integration to bolster their security framework in such use cases as:
EventLog Analyzer provides Thrift IDL-based APIs which security administrators can use to pull all required data and achieve integration. The power of the API has been demonstrated through a Python-based client as the reference implementation.
EventLog Analyzer collects, normalizes, analyzes, correlates and stores voluminous logs from heterogeneous sources. Now, the API can provide actionable intelligence and help security admins trace, thwart and combat evolving threats.
The Professional Edition of EventLog Analyzer starts at $795, and a fully functional, 30-day trial version is available for download at https://www.manageengine.com/products/eventlog/download.html.
