Why GFI LANguard S.E.L.M.
Security is becoming more and more important in todays world:
Internet security breaches cost businesses more than $15 billion a year - Datamonitor report, November 15, 2000
90% of organizations experienced computer security breaches in the past 12 months - Computer Security Institute survey, May 2000
At least half of all respondents experienced insider security breaches related to unauthorized installation of computing tools, misuse of company resources and abuse of access controls - The Information Security survey, September 2000
Companies experiencing an electronic theft, sabotage or disclosure of proprietary information grew by 41 per cent in the last year - The Information Security survey, September 2000
"Insider hacking represents about 70% of all malicious attacks and causes $1 billion in damages each year to US businesses" - Business Week, December 13, 2000
Many companies mistakenly assume that unauthorized access is only attempted by external parties. Actually, the majority of corporate security threats stem from internal sources, such as users accessing confidential data. Of course, your network provides for security, but many 'backdoors' exist. A firewall will offer no protection against attacks from within the company. Furthermore, how can you verify that your firewall is actually blocking out all external attacks?
LANguard Security Event Log Monitor (S.E.L.M.) is a revolutionary new intrusion detection product that will alert you to any unauthorized activity occurring on your network.
Detect significant security breaches on your servers or workstations
By analyzing the NT/2000 event logs in real time, GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. can alert you about significant security events happening on your workstations and servers (for example, a user attempting to log on as an administrator, or a person being added to the administrator group).
Intrusion detection the right way!
Many 'network based' intrusion detection products are difficult to deploy because they rely on sniffing network traffic. Because of the deployment of switches, traffic encryption (IPsec) and the high speed of today's networks, current IDS products simply go 'blind' and can't function, unless you set your network a few years back!
GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. however, analyses Windows NT/2000 event logs in real time, and is not impaired by switches, IP traffic encryption or high-speed data transfer. Yet, it will alert you about all important security events!
