SANS Log Mangement Summit 2007 Moves to San Jose
The SANS Institute has announced the 2007 Log Mangement Summit. Besides moving to San Jose this year, the event has expanded and includes even more vendors and customers, offering an in-the-trenches look at how log management is changing the face of IT.
Ignoring data security mandates could cost your company a bundle this year. As high profile breaches are making headlines and consumers nervous about their data and privacy, enforcing security is taking a center stage. From the halls of US Congress to the European Commission (EC), new laws are being proposed whereby firms across the globe would have to inform regulators and customers of all security violations. Log Management and Intelligence can help meet these regulations.
In fact, log management, as we have come to see from our customers, is addressing stringent regulatory requirements to keeping IT operations running optimally. In fact, the Global 2000 are investing in log management and intelligence, according to a report from the SANS Institute that we commissioned. “The Log Industry: An Untapped Market” is the first study to identify the business and technology issues faced by IT executives and examines how log data is being used to address their critical needs.
Want to learn more? From SANS Research Director Alan Paller's announcment on the Summit:
The Log Management Summit is a user-to-user, non-commercial conference on what works in log management. It is the only place where you can learn about the strengths and weaknesses of competing technologies, where users will share the lessons they learned about what to log and what to keep and what to report.
Nearly every major regulation affecting cyber security now demands or implies the need for continuous logging and effective log management -- HIPAA, SOX, ISO 27001, COBIT. Even the Processing Card Industry (PCI) standard appears to demand it. And regulations governing information security technology are evolving as fast as the technology itself. Beginning in 2007, for example, a significant motivator for compliance with HIPAA is that "whistleblowers" for violators of the new guidelines may be awarded 15% of any associated fines.
Organizations that have implemented log management systems have found that they provide far more value than simply meeting compliance requirements. Their greatest value lies in the improvements they create in your defensive posture, but great benefits also accrue to the operations managers who have, for the first time, visibility into the details of what has happened on every system in their network.
The event will be held April 23-25 in San Jose, CA. This is SANS' second Log Management Summit. If you are planning to implement log management or have a compliance need, it is a must-attend!
