Graylog: Solutions for Log Management and Cybersecurity

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief 

Graylog supports an open source log management project that centralizes log management, and builds enterprise features on top of the log management functionality to control data storage costs, analyze performance, and detect and prevent cybersecurity threats across a broad range of attack surfaces.

The free Graylog open source project provides basic log capabilities that aggregate and analyse log data from multiple sources. Commercial Enterprise, Security, and API Security products extend these basic capabilities with additional licensed features.

The Enterprise solution identifies performance issues and offers a data tiering capability to reduce cost. 

The Security solution provides a Security Event and Incident Management (SEIM) capability that identifies, prioritizes, and helps remediate cybersecurity threats. 

The API Security solution offers security auditing and controls for custom API formats such as  SOAP, XML-RPC, and gRPC, and for common API payload data formats such as JSON and XML

Graylog’s commercial solutions extract relevant and actionable information from the logs, and display the information in GUI dashboards to surface and remediate performance and security issues. 

Graylog’s commercial tools also provide common responses to high priority threats, offer remediation guidance, ticketing, and compliance reporting.
