How often do you check your event log monitor<\/a> for potential security breaches? Did you know that many potential security breaches, events, and other problems are logged to event logs? Unfortunately, even the most skilled IT professionals have a hard time making sense of what to watch for that could indicate security issues or even a potential breach until it is too late.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Event logs contain a ton of information that can be useful. Yet, it requires knowing how to monitor the event log, what to look for, and when to conduct regular audits. Most businesses lack the resources and time needed to review event logs daily, let alone weekly.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best-case scenario for many businesses is a monthly review. Even still, this does not always occur. Therefore, security breaches frequently are not discovered for weeks or even months! With hackers constantly evolving, you need to stay on top of your server security.<\/p>\n
