LOGwatch

Establishing and maintaining a compliant infrastructure is a key business requirement for many organisations, often enforced by stringent regulation as in recent years there has been significant growth in regulatory mandate and compliance obligations across all industries. The seemingly daunting task of logging, detecting and alerting on the millions of events occurring daily can be overwhelming. For those companies able to overcome the technical and aspects of deploying the necessary technology there is then the more challenging question of how to deliver the on-going daily management and response to alerts.

LOGwatch is the managed services wrap that uses the CNS Service Desk and consultants to provide 24x7x365 monitoring and response to compliance events on the client infrastructure. As well as performing a daily inspection of the logs and alerts, the CNS Service Desk will respond to the client when an event is detected and offer assistance based on pre-defined conditions configured during the implementation process. Seasoned security cleared personnel in the CNS UK operations centre monitor events in real time and respond using our knowledge of security best practice and the individual client mandate.

Key benefits include reduced security costs and professional implementation and management of your infrastructure twenty four hours a day, every day of the year, by seasoned network and security experts. The LOGwatch benefits are:

• Flexible 24x7x365 monitoring, management and response to events.
• Reduces the cost of ownership as using service provider experts allows you to outsource the 24x7 security tasks more cost effectively and focus internal personnel and resources on your key business initiatives.
• Maximize client’s investment in IT estate, security policies and controls through supporting operational efficiency, system performance and critical service availability.
• Keep inherent security risks to a minimum.
• Helping a client’s security team to spend less time gathering information and more time enhancing their security posture.
• Advising client’s on economical ways of meeting regulation and compliance mandate through smart deployment and management of IT.
• Providing access to a pool of technical experts holding industry certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, MCSE, QSA, CLASS, ISO27001 as well as SC and MV cleared and trusted by government bodies.
• No data or support is off shored - all client data is kept in the UK and all support is delivered from our UK NOC based in London.
