GFI Launches GFI LANguard Security Event Log Monitor (S.E.L.M.) 3.0

London, England (ots)

Enables a Fast Response to Security Breaches through Centralized
Auditing of the Windows Security Event Logs
GFI today announced the release of
LANguard Security Event Log Monitor (S.E.L.M.) 3, a host-based
intrusion detection system that monitors networks for security
breaches. The product analyses the network security event logs and
alerts administrators of key security events in real time, thereby
permitting immediate action. GFI is offering a free starter pack of
GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. 3 for 1 server and 5 workstations at
www.gfisoftware.com/stats/adentry.asp?adv=137&loc=2.
Offers security administrators peace of mind
GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. scans the security event logs of all Windows
NT/2000/XP machines on a network, consolidates them into a central
log for fast analysis and provides detailed activity reports. It
alerts administrators about critical security breaches in real time,
enabling them to respond immediately to high security events such as
network users attempting to access shares, resources and/or data they
should not view.
"Firewalls and anti-virus software alone do not provide sufficient
network protection because they do not detect internal security
breaches and backdoors. This is why enterprises also require an
effective intrusion detection system to monitor for internal security
breaches," said Nick Galea, CEO of GFI. "By continually auditing all
machines on the network and issuing real-time alerts on high security
events, GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. offers administrators peace of mind."
Because it performs intrusion detection by scanning the event
logs, GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. is not impaired by switches, IP traffic
encryption or high-speed data transfer, as are traditional
network-based intrusion detection products that operate by sniffing
network traffic and analyzing attack patterns.
Reduces the administrative burden
With its ability to archive all security events in a centralized
location, GFI LANguard S.E.LM. eliminates the need for administrators
to spend hours examining individual event logs for each server or
workstation. Pre-built event viewers show all events configured into
security levels, categorizing events by event type (logon, policy
changes, privileges, etc.), and providing filters that make it
possible to drill down to specific users, computers, event types or
other variables.
In addition, GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. provides extensive reporting
and forensic analysis. For example, administrators can view logon and
logoff times of all network users, see which machines are attacked
most frequently, and identify users who are creating too many events
such as failed logons or failed object access. With these reports,
administrators can obtain important information about security
activity on their network.
New features in GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. 3.0
The logs scanned by GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. 3 now include the
application, system, DNS server, directory services and file
replication services event logs, as well as the security event logs.
GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. 3 also offers increased customization and
flexibility, allowing administrators to choose which types of event
logs are to be retrieved per machine and which event categories
should be archived.
  • Other new features include:
  • Ability to enable correct auditing policies on all target machines automatically;
  • Refined event log filtering rules;
  • Colour-coded records for improved filtering methods and instant recognition of which events are of critical, low, medium, high and unclassified importance;
  • Support for three types of database back-ends - Microsoft Access, Microsoft MSDE, and Microsoft SQL Server.
Specifications, pricing and availability
GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. requires no agents or client software, has
no impact on network traffic, and can be scaled to networks of
thousands of servers and workstations. It is available from
distributors around the world or online at the GFI site. Pricing
starts at US$375 for a 2 server/10 workstation package. For more
