LogStare Launches Integrated Log Management Appliance

In a significant development for IT security, SecureAvail Group's subsidiary, LogStare, has unveiled the LSC Appliance, an integrated log management solution that simplifies the security oversight for businesses. This appliance is designed to be as simple as placing it in the office, allowing users to effectively manage logs without the need for extensive IT expertise.

Addressing the Needs of Businesses

With the rise of digital threats, companies of all sizes are increasingly at risk from supply chain attacks, insider data breaches, and ransomware incidents. To implement effective security measures, organizations must monitor access logs and system usage to understand their current security landscape. In the event of a security incident, swift action and thorough analysis of logs are crucial for identifying breaches and preventing future occurrences.

However, many businesses delegate the management of their network devices, security tools, and servers to IT vendors, which often leads to fragmented log management. The process of integrating different log systems becomes complicated when multiple vendors are involved, making it challenging to collect and analyze critical data.

LogStare's new LSC Appliance is specifically designed for companies facing these challenges. Pre-installed with LogStare’s proprietary log management software, LogStare Collector, this appliance minimizes the burdens of procuring servers and installing operating systems that typically accompany traditional software deployments.

Key Features of the LSC Appliance

The LSC Appliance can collect and store logs up to 100GB. For businesses requiring additional log retention, LogStare also offers a cloud-based storage service. To enhance the user experience, LogStare provides optional services such as log collection setup, log analysis advisory, and a help desk for log management.

LogStare's service offerings include:

• - Initial configuration for log collection and management (optional)
• - Configuration support for devices generating logs (optional)
• - Long-term log storage solutions on the cloud (optional)
