Log Management & Security

Audit Log

Following best practices, NetEye provides the ability to track users’ activity in order to verify system security, and keep track of users and the actions they take.

Users’ activity can be tracked with the Audit Log module, which collects and records changes to the configuration of NetEye itself, allowing administrators to track the changes and all their details.

SIEM

SIEM, Security Information and Event Management, helps to perform management and analysis of Logs by collecting them, processing them to detect anomalies and threats, and finally visualizing them.

Machine Learning and a multinode architecture were implemented for scalability, which help to complete these functionalities.

The SIEM solution is based on the Elastic stack and is intended to provide various means to manage—collect, process, and sign—log files produced by NetEye and various services running on it, as well as the logs collected from external systems, with the help of Beats and Elastic Agents.

Typical components of a SIEM solution include:

  • a log collector, which can consist of multiple applications that work together to receive log files and convert them into a given format

  • a storage facility, typically a (distributed) database

  • a visualisation engine, to create dashboards and reports

  • some kind of time-stamping solution to ensure data immutability, which is useful for log auditing and compliance to laws and regulations

Beats and Elastic Agents

Beats and Elastic Agents are used to collect logs and send them to NetEye.

In order to enhance the monitoring of different hosts, using available integrations given by the Elastic environment, Elastic Agent can be used to collect data from local and external sources with a single unified agent per host.

In a similar way, NetEye can receive data from Beats installed on monitored hosts. The agent is to be installed on devices within an infrastructure (mostly servers and workstations) and acts as a client to send data to a centralised server where they are processed in a suitable way.

Logstash

Logstash is an open source server-side data processing pipeline that collects data from multiple sources, transforms it, and then sends it to a preferable storage.

In the context of SIEM solutions, Logstash is responsible for collecting logs, (pre-)processing them, and forwarding them to Elasticsearch or El Proxy.

El Proxy

The purpose of the Elasticsearch Blockchain Proxy is to receive data from Logstash and process it. After the data is signed and integrated into a secure blockchain, it is sent to Elasticsearch.

Elasticsearch

Used mainly as a storage facility for all the log files that have been collected and processed in the context of SIEM solution, Elasticsearch can also be used for multiple purposes, such as serving as search engine over the data stored, or even for processing data.

Kibana software enables you to give shape to your data and serves as the GUI for Elasticsearch. With this you can visualise data stored in Elasticsearch, create dashboards for quick data access and define queries against the underlying Elasticsearch.

You can find more information on how to configure, collect and centralize your log data in the Elastic Stack feature module.
