About GFI EventsManager

GFI EventsManager collects event log data from all devices and systems that use Windows event logs, W3C, and Syslog and applies the best rules and filtering in the industry to identify key data. This allows you to track when staff swipe their fob, pick up the phone to call home, turn on their PC, what they do on their PC and which files they access during their work day. Event logs are a first reference when something goes wrong. They provide a history of events, however, it is often difficult to build a timeline of events using basic logs. Logs produce fragmented audit trails, because each computer on the network has its own security log. Consequently, the important security activity you need to see is scattered among all your computers; you have no way to view and analyze your network's security activity as a whole. GFI EventsManager solves fragmented audit trails by consolidating all security events into a single database. It provides a range of search and drill down tools, comprehensive reporting capabilities and customizable reports. All this information is available instantly without having to employ expensive consultants to carry out forensic investigations.
