Generating Business Value

Generating Business Value from Log Management

Most organizations today realize and accept that a Log Management solution has clear business value – automating of regulatory processes, improved efficiency of forensic investigations, increased troubleshooting turnaround times and an overall better security posture but with LogInspect there are even further benefits of a Log Management solution:

Increase agility

In these tough economic times, the margin for business error is very slim. When services are IT dependent, unexpected performance issues and security breaches can severely impact a company's competitiveness. An effective Log Management solution increases your business and IT agility by allowing you to quickly respond to unexpected situations and problems before performance is affected or revenue is lost.

Business process improvement

Considering that logs are records of what a system does minute by minute, the right LogInspect solution can provide a detailed understanding of most aspects of a business, from identifying operational bottlenecks, to tracking resource utilizations. The insight that log data provides into business operations can help you measure and optimize critical processes.

Business risk mitigation

A security breach can cause long-term damage to corporate reputation. The negative press resulting from loss of sensitive customer data such as credit card information or social security numbers can not only create customer distrust and subsequently impact sales and revenue, but also hinder business relationships and partnerships. The direct costs associated with clean-up activities after a security incident can also be substantial. Large fines as a result of non-compliance, litigation fees, and civil lawsuits can all add up to a significant amount of money.

LogInspect solutions substantially reduce the risks and costs associated with security breaches by proactively detecting patterns indicative of a breach and enabling personnel to perform remediation activities before costly damage is caused.

Increased management visibility

Executive Management benefits from the LogInspect dashboards and reports that provide visibility into cross-departmental activities such as operational and security metrics, corporate governance, and regulatory initiatives. Summary reports and analysis capabilities allow them to make a quick assessment of progress and get an overview of the DNA in the overall IT structure.

Reduced costs

LogInspect solutions accelerate the time to identifying critical security and performance issues to significantly reduce costs associated with service disruptions, security breaches and non-compliance. With the automation of compliance processes and predefined reports, the costs associated with preparing for audits and remaining in compliance are also significantly reduced.

In addition, LogInspect help increase service levels without increasing staff and reduce burdens on existing resources by automating routine tasks. In times of tightening budgets and staff cuts, LogInspect helps companies do more with less by addressing multiple requirements across departments.
