CenturyLink, Inc. has upgraded its Security Log Monitoring solution with threat intelligence, new cloud security monitoring features and a real-time mobile application, for rapid threat detection and real-time response. This will help businesses to effectively fight the rapidly evolving cyber-attacks, particularly within their internal ecosystems.

Security Log Monitoring Solution

CenturyLink’s Security Log Monitoring accumulates and tracks malicious attacks in real time, applies advanced analytics, classifies them and sends them to an expert team for review. It integrates with existing infrastructure using automation to monitor devices, endpoints, systems and networks.

Security Log Monitoring delivers visibility into customers' cloud environments and the ability to rapidly identify misconfigurations. The solution recognizes hundreds of common log source types including those from VPNs, firewalls, databases, cloud infrastructure and servers. It also offers complementary log ingestion of up to 10 gigabytes per day and is supported by CenturyLink's seven global security operations centers.

With extended log retention of up to seven years, customers can address industry and regulatory compliance requirements. Also, they can enjoy access to a robust library of advanced algorithms to feed actionable threat intelligence with fewer false positives.

The monitoring service provides a comprehensive view of all network activity from multiple devices across the organization and correlates it into a single dashboard view. It helps pinpoint threat sources and follow attack vectors to evolve to a proactive threat management approach.
