ManageEngine, a real-time IT management company, has announced a new API that enables third-party tools to access log data generated by EventLog Analyzer, its security information and event management (SIEM) solution. Available immediately, the EventLog Analyzer API lets security administrators feed reams of normalized log data into any third-party application, including crowd-sourced threat intelligence solutions, vulnerability assessment platforms, business intelligence tools or even custom applications for advanced security intelligence and threat protection.
Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly complex, and cyberattacks have become an international crisis. Though the market is flooded with various types of IT security analytics solutions, no single solution could offer effective protection against all emerging threats. Combating advanced threats requires information security solutions to integrate with each other, share data and intelligence, and ultimately protect businesses.
“While security visibility across all elements of IT infrastructure has become essential, most organizations cannot afford huge investment on big data analytics. The current enhancements in EventLog Analyzer bridge this crucial gap,” said Chenthil Kumaran, Product Manager – EventLog Analyzer – ManageEngine. “The benefits of this integration are numerous, but the effort to leverage them is negligible. It does not require professional services or any additional investment to leverage the benefits.”
