LogPoint as a tool for compliance automation
Meeting compliance can be costly and complicated. But that investment is minimal compared to the costs of fines, legal costs and a damaged reputation.
While regulations vary, compliance is usually tied to your ability to act according to audit requirements.
That means:
- Identifying the risks your business faces
- Designing and implementing controls to protect your business from those risks
- Monitoring and reporting on the effectiveness of those controls
- Resolving compliance difficulties as they occur
- Advising on rules and controls
That’s a lot to take in – and there’s also the task of managing the mountains of log data you’re compiling. But don’t worry, we have a solution for this.

User activity monitoring
User Activity Monitoring has long been the cornerstone of any efficient defense strategy. By design, LogPoint provides analysts with an intuitive and powerful tool to identify malicious activities, create alerts, dashboards, and reports so they can get an overview and counteract immediately. Primarily for data privacy and regulations, user activity monitoring focuses on activities associated with file access. LogPoint can monitor this using native object access audit records. Additionally, LogPoint’s FIM application monitors any access attempts to privileged file share systems and provides information on the type of access and the actions performed in the file. Additionally, the original and the altered checksums can also be compared to better understand access behavior.
Example
Object access attempts
Query
label=Object label=Access | chart count() by user, access, object order by count() desc
Monitoring international data transfers
LogPoint’s intuitive visualization helps to plot data points for connection requests across the geopolitical boundaries. With an overview of top destination and source countries along with top inbound/outbound connections, LogPoint provides any organization with a detailed overview of cross-border data flow, ensuring lawful data transfer complying with the GDPR.
Example
Trend of outbound data transfer by geo location
Query
source_address=* destination_address=* | process geoip(destination_address) as country | timechart sum(sent_datasize) as OutboundData by country
Spotting and tracking unauthorized network or systems access
LogPoint enables you to detect any suspicious and/or unauthorized network behavior such as connection attempts on closed ports, blocked internal connections, connections made to known-bad destinations, requests initiated from untrusted zones, suspicious system access and many more.
Example
Threats in higher privilege systems
Query
label=Connection label=Allow source_address IN PRIVILIGE_SYSTEMS | process ti(source_address)|search et_ip_address=* | rename et_category as category | chart count() by ip_address, category order by count() desc
