Title: Log management and compliance: What's the real story? by Dr. Anton Chuvakin
One of the problems in making an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) strategy work with compliance initiatives is that compliance needs accountability at a very granular level. Consequently, IT shops are turning to log management as a solution, with many of those solutions being deployed for the purposes of regulatory compliance. The language however, regarding log management solutions can sometimes be vague which can lead to confusion. This session will lend some clarity to the regulations that affect log management. Topics will include:
Best practices for how to best mesh compliance ECM and compliance strategies with log management
Tips and suggestions for monitoring and auditing access to regulated content, with a focus on Microsoft Sharepoint logging.
An examination of a handful of the regulations affecting how organizations view log management and information security including The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), ISO 27001, The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), HIPAA and the HITECH Act.

Log management and compliance: What's the real story? by Dr. Anton Chuvakin
1. Log Management and Compliance: What's the Real Story? Dr. Anton Chuvakin 2010
2. Outline Introduction to Logs and Log management Compliance Mandates Affecting IT Compliance and ECM = Disaster Brewing! Logging, an Ultimate Compliance Technology Logging for Compliance Practices Conclusions and Action Items
18. Why Manage Logs? Threatprotection and discovery Incidentresponse and forensics Regulatory compliance and audit Internal policies and procedure compliance IT system and network troubleshooting System performancemanagement
19. Unfortunately … “The company’s server logs recorded only unsuccessful log-in attempts, not successful ones, frustrating a detailed analysis.”
20. Compliance – Why is it Here? 1. Corporations Stole 2. Got Caught Sarbanes Oxley 4. Bill gets passed 5. Now we have to obey them 3. Politicians wrote laws
48. Retain audit logs“Get fined, Get Sanctioned” “Lose Customers, Reputation, Revenue or Job” “Get fined, Go To Jail” At the Same Time…
49. More Laws! Privacy Laws Mostly in Europe Thus affect transnational companies Govern not what MUST be logged, but what MUST NOT be logged! Logging is typically mentioned as something that might help violate privacy E.g. Google query logging and retention
50. More Laws! Breach Laws Affected IR Laws that control consumer notification in case of a security breach Yesterday CA 1386 Today more than 45 US States Tomorrow the world Who to notify is key: 200,000 vs. 40,000,000 notifications? Major $$$ in play!
52. Congressional Hearing: Subcommittee on Emerging Threats, Cybersecurity and Science and Technology April 2008 http://geer.tinho.net/geer.housetestimony.070423.txt “In a free country, you don't have to ask permission for much of anything, but that freedom is buttressed by the certain knowledge that if you sufficiently screw things then up you will have to pay.” Daniel Geer, Sc.D.
53. Why Logs for Accountability Everybody leaves traces in logs! Potentially, every action could be logged! Control doesn’t scale, accountability (=logs!) does! More controls -> more complexity -> less control! The only technology that makes IT users (legitimate and otherwise) accountable:logging!
54. Control vs Visibility Myth: Stringent access controls will stop all attacks! What about those that have legitimate access? What about those who “break the rules”? The only control you can get is based on visibility and accountability!
55. Corporate Accountability Accountability Accountability is answerability, enforcement, responsibility, blameworthiness, liability Log Management Log management is collecting, retaining and analyzing audit trails across the organization There is a strong link between accountability and logging Big Picture: Logs as Enabler of Corporate Accountability

57. Six Mistakes of Log Management 1. Not logging at all 2. Not looking at the logs 3. Storing logs for too short a time 4. Prioritizing the log records before collection 5. Ignoring the logs from applications 6. Only looking at what you know is bad
58. “Compliance+” Model At Work You bought it for PCI DSS You installed it Your boss is happy Your auditor is … gone What are you going to do next?
59. Conclusions In today’s complex IT, the only control comes from visibility and accountability Logs and log management is what enables it across all systems Start logging – then start collecting logs – then start reviewing and analyzing logs Prepare for incidents by deploying log management system!

Title: How to Gain Visibility and Control over Compliance Mandates, Security Threats and Data LeaksData integrity and confidentiality is critical. 62% of fraud is committed by insiders. Downtime is measured in millions of dollars per minute. Constant security threats and intense scrutiny by regulators and auditors require complete visibility and accountability, both in real-time and historically. Organizations face significant risks and exciting rewards during this period of economic and regulatory change.To meet the growing demands, you need to make a shift from worrying about the unknown to gaining a visibility and control over your operational threats. Top organizations are effectively managing their security threats and compliance requirements by building a foundation for internal investigations, forensics, and compliance that allows them to correlate information and detect real-time threats and fraud. By building pre-defined response plans they are able to significantly reduce the costs of managing network security and firewall policies. During this session we will cover how you can leverage the logs that you are already collecting to achieve regulatory compliance, protect valuable customer information and improve the efficiency of your IT operations team.
