This information is key to businesses who use such collated data for troubleshooting and getting more insights into their strategy. Data is also essential for business compliance and for securing their hardware and software resources. Data is vulnerable to cyber security threat. Safeguarding logs is one core activity for businesses and IT managers store logs in protected folders preventing any internal security fissures as well and recognises potential peril along with the mismanagement of Information. It prevents internal security fissures as well and recognises potential peril along with the mismanagement of information.
Significance of Log Management in IT / OT
OT is the latest term for industrial automation, processes, or production control systems. Data mostly includes information on the operational processes to enhance insights into triggers out of operational changes and identify any gaps in the process.
As OT involves analysis of process data and change request response, extensive data access is required to analyse and identify root cause of issues if any. Also, safety takes prime importance and requires significant data processing.
OT processes are the central nerve of industrial organizations. A malicious attack on the process, device stoppage or disruption incurs lot of money. Monitoring the data logs for any deviations in behaviour or new requests can be highly valuable.
IT sector must deal with cyber threats that impact the integrity and data availability. Computer networks these days are largely interconnected and the infrastructure, data transmission, and threats overlap with each other.
IT process determines optimizing the user perspective and involves huge data from usage of applications and systems. Efficient system of logging helps in the operative use of the data and helps to monitor the resources in times of detrimental events.
Log management helps in the very salvage of the impairment, within a short span of period during the damage control in case of a security breach.
