LogClarityÂ's innovative and unique analyze first approach to Windows security logmanagement has IT professionals taking a serious look at LogClarity for itsintelligent automated data reduction methods which vastly improves forensics andsecurity.
A typical domain controller server can generate over 1000 times more data than anycritical server. This volume needs to be strategically handled and analyzed forsecurity threats and stored for compliance initiatives. Without an intelligentautomated solution in place, effective use of this data is a next to impossible toprocess and log retention goals are unachievable.
Consider the number of domain controller servers and other critical servers and thepicture becomes clear that the management of this data can be overwhelming, even fora small enterprise. Most organizations are starting to get the picture and areimplementing some form of automation of their log management processes to lower theadministrative burdens associated with collecting and analyzing logs.
LogClarity 3.0 empowers IT professionals by automating and simplifying Windows logmanagement.
The LogClarity Design Framework removes the complexities involved with log filteringby collecting only the actual true instances of the logs and automatically filteringout all the redundant and duplicate logs which ensures true compliance with commonlog retention targets. The LCDF advanced technology enables securityadministrators a solid framework to assist them in successfully deciphering andmaneuvering though the non-descript Windows security logs. This cutting-edge designwas essential to overcome the serious inconsistencies and limitations of the Windowssecurity log structure. Most security administrators are puzzled and frustrated whenattempting to use  Event Viewer or other log tools that don't address theunderlying issues.
 The dire need for simplified forensic analysis capabilities is undeniably thebiggest limitation of all other log management solutions on the market today saysMichael Johnson, Product Manager for LogFidelity. LogClarity 3.0 fills the enormousvoid in the ability to perform log forensics with ease which has been a problem formany years.

Improved GPO Tracker enables security administrators a streamlined approach toclearly and immediately track down any change to group policy objects. Being alertedis the first step in a proactive approach to security however; having an easy touse, quick response tool to attack serious issues that could affect the health of the enterprise is a hugebenefit to security conscious IT professionals.

 LogClarity has exceeded our internalAdministrative and Log Management needs. The ease of use is unlike any log management solution we have evaluated to date saysMark Sewell, Sr. Administrator for Software Lifecycle Group.  The forensic search capabilities havesaved me a lot of time. My manager feels that the hardware savings by the improved dataretention alone, has justified the cost of LogClarity. Mark adds that he is looking to expand LogClarityacross his entire organization by years end.
Sparked by compliance initiatives and auditors pushing for longer retention levelsand more detailed reporting, IT personnel finally understand the importance of managing andanalyzing security logs.
