Log management experts from Dell SecureWorks have co-written,
with another security expert, a basic, fundamental book on computer
network logs for IT administrators.
“Logging and Log Management: The Authoritative Guide to
Understanding the Concepts Surrounding Logging and Log Management”
is written in simple terms for new system administrators,
application developers, IT managers, and anyone else who may be
interested in keeping track of and understanding logs that are
constantly created on company computer networks.
“My co-writers and I find that so many people we meet collect
logs but don’t know how to use them as wisely as they could,” said
Kevin Schmidt, a senior manager of engineering at Dell SecureWorks,
who co-wrote the book with SecureWorks colleague Christopher
Phillips and Anton A. Chuvakin, Ph.D., a former independent
security consultant and now a research director at Gartner. “We
wrote this book so it would be easy for most anyone with a
technical background to understand how to reap the full benefits of
logs to help protect their networks.”
The guide explains how to plan, build and use a log collection
and management system, and describes how to collect, analyze and
store log data. Readers will also learn how to develop a
tailor-made incident response plan based around log data. Other
topics include authentication and authorization reports, cloud
logging, manual log analysis, and automated analysis.
Ben Rothke, an information security manager who also reviews
books on digital security for Security Management magazine and
Slashdot, said the authors “bring significant real-world experience
to the reader” and show “how to maximize the gold that often lays
hidden in your large stores of log data.”
Logs are digital fingerprints of everything that happens within
a company’s network and its systems, and create a trail of all
users and resource activities. In addition to alerting IT
administrators to suspicious activity within their organization’s
network, Log data and monitoring can be used to attain and maintain
compliance regulations for different industries.
Co-writer Phillips is a manager and senior software developer at
Dell SecureWorks. Chuvakin is a recognized security expert in the
field of log management, SIEM, and PCI DSS compliance.
