CenturyLink Security Log Monitoring Increases Visibility Across Hybrid Networks

CenturyLink updated its Security Log Monitoring service with correlated threat intelligence, new cloud security monitoring features, and a real-time mobile application for threat detection and response. These new capabilities give companies greater visibility across their hybrid network environments, said Chris Richter, vice president of global security services for CenturyLink. “We’re finding that environments are changing at a very rapid pace, and hybrid networking is becoming very common,” Richter said. “We’re seeing customers migrate their applications from on premises to cloud or SaaS [software-as-a-service], replacing hardware with clouds.” But with this comes security risk. Log and event management tools, which provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network infrastructure, can help mitigate threats across disparate environments. “Companies need a tool that can follow the data, follow the applications, follow the databases wherever they go,” Richter said. “We built Security Log Monitoring so that our collectors can be placed anywhere in the form of virtual appliances, and we’ve also got collectors built into our backbone. The idea is that log analysis and log collection must happen easily and cost effectively wherever the applications go.” Security Log Monitoring Security Log Monitoring is a SaaS-based log collection and security information and event management (SIEM) platform. It is built on open source and proprietary tools and uses technology acquired from the service provider’s 2016 purchase of netAura, a security log management and SIEM company. The service recognizes hundreds of common log source types, including those from VPNs, firewalls, databases, cloud infrastructure, and servers. “The primary update in this release is the ability to take in additional log traffic,” Richter said. In fact, the service now offers free complimentary log ingestion of up to 10 gigabytes per day. Customers can upgrade the service to pay for additional ingestion capacity, as well as advanced threat intelligence, incident response, and cloud and security operations center (SOC) monitoring.
