Audit and Trace Log Management: Consolidation and Analysis
is both a timely and much needed compilation of useful information around a topic
that is becoming more and more critical to not only IT professionals and
security practitioners, but to many other departments, such as legal, risk,
and compliance, as well as auditors and business stakeholders. It is well
known and documented that the current body of regulation and legislation
will continue to evolve over the next decade, thereby creating an evergrowing
and critical need for a cost-effective and efficient audit and
monitoring solution.
Security practitioners have always diligently incorporated audit and
monitoring into their security management systems, and in support of
that, have documented some level of audit and monitoring requirements
in their security policies and procedures. However, these new rules are
moving the industry and organizations into an entirely new realm, where
most of us are ill-prepared to go on our own. This book not only provides
an excellent introduction and explanation of the requirements and the
problem definition, but it goes further to offer a multidimensional solution
set with broad applicability across a wide range of organizations and their
needs.
