IT PAIN POINTS
4
IT pain points (1/2)
» Protecting business entails prompt detection of the security incidents
» This requires event log analysis – a very tedious process if
performed manually
» Almost 50% of organizations have experienced a security breach
– CSI Computer Crime and Security Survey 2010
» More than 83% of the UK companies experienced a security breach in
2009, with each security incident costing up to £690,000
– Information Security Breaches Survey 2010
5
IT pain points (2/2)
» Meeting regulatory compliance requirements is almost
impossible without an automated log management solution
» Businesses can also suffer from system downtimes and other IT incidents;
it is critical that these are detected and solved quickly to minimize
business loss
» Forensic investigation of IT incidents can be very costly unless event log
data is centralized in a database and proper analysis tools are available
» IT systems usually generate large volumes of event log data which cannot
be reviewed in an efficient manner without a log management tool

What’s new in GFI EventsManager 2011? (1/2)
File-based storage engine
» The new version of GFI EventsManager uses a file-based storage
engine, which has been developed by GFI to store and work with a
large number of events. This new engine performs solidly even when
working with hundreds of millions of events in the same database.
New reporting engine
» A new reporting engine is integrated into the main interface of the
product. It allows administrators to create reports with custom layouts
and either view them directly in a browser or export them to HTML or
PDF format.
15
What’s new in GFI EventsManager 2011? (2/2)
Drill-down browsing and global search
» Ships with a single browser which is capable of showing all events
from all sources, irrespective of the log type, with views that can be
customized. The browsing experience is also easier to use thanks to
its new drill-down feature and because you can now perform searches
across all the events.
Database encryption and compression
» The product’s new storage engine provides the option to encrypt the
log data that is written into the database; this is based on a password
supplied by the administrator. As the new storage engine is file-based,
the user can also opt to save space by enabling Windows
compression for the folder that hosts the database files.
