BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LogRhythm, The Security Intelligence Company, today announced the release of LogRhythm 7.2, a major upgrade to its leading security intelligence and analytics platform. Purpose-built to power the next-generation Security Operations Center (SOC), LogRhythm’s platform is now further optimized to deliver the industry’s most efficient, effective end-to-end threat lifecycle management solution. This release extends LogRhythm’s lead in providing the most accurate security analytics with embedded security automation and orchestration to help customers quickly detect, respond to and neutralize cyberthreats before they result in a material breach.
The risk of a breach is climbing steadily, and cloud and internet of things (IoT) deployments further expand the enterprise attack surface. Enterprise security operations teams recognize that executing end-to-end threat lifecycle management is the only way to effectively manage that risk. However, most are understaffed and overwhelmed, lacking the necessary analytics, automation, and orchestration to stay ahead.
LogRhythm 7.2 addresses these issues by delivering unmatched capabilities in four key areas: scalability; machine data intelligence; user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA); and embedded security automation and orchestration.
“Armed with finite resources to battle a staggering number of possible security threats, CISOs are desperately trying to realize an effective end-to-end threat lifecycle management capability,” said Chris Petersen, CTO and co-founder of LogRhythm. “Whether you support a massive 24x7 global security operations center or a small virtual SOC, LogRhythm 7.2 will amplify your organization’s ability to rapidly detect, investigate, and neutralize threats.”
Large enterprises are already harnessing the power of LogRhythm 7.2. “LogRhythm’s product is soaring to new heights,” said Michael Meline, IT security manager from Kootenai Health. “LogRhythm is putting customers first by developing features collaboratively with users. The Threat Intelligence Service in LogRhythm 7.2 is more actionable and helpful than 7.1 in surfacing important data for better incident response through security automation and orchestration.”
Highlights of the LogRhythm 7.2 security intelligence and analytics platform include:
Greater efficiency, designed for massive environments
LogRhythm
7.2 provides up to 200 percent improvement in data processing and
indexing performance to help customers cost-efficiently scale,
especially in high-volume environments such as those exceeding 100,000
messages per second. What’s more, fully-automated data source onboarding
saves countless hours of administration time in large environments.
Industry’s most accurate security analytics supports even more data
sources
LogRhythm 7.2 extends the depth of the platform’s
patented Machine Data Intelligence Fabric™, a feature that automatically
extracts contextual meaning from data to enable the most accurate and
powerful security analytics. Specifically, LogRhythm 7.2 delivers
advanced threat detection capabilities by expanding its industry-leading
data schema with more than 20 additional metadata fields. These added
fields complement the platform’s industry-leading support for over 785
unique data sources. LogRhythm 7.2 also advances customers’ visibility
into cloud-based systems, including AWS, Salesforce, Box and Microsoft
Office 365.
Only SIEM provider to deliver “one-stop-shop” for holistic threat
detection across user, network, and endpoint-borne threats
LogRhythm
7.2 customers will see accelerated detection and investigation of
user-borne risks—such as compromised accounts and insider threats – due
to extensive enhancements to the User and Entity Behavioral Analytics
(UEBA) module. The UEBA module extensions also include new threat
detection algorithms, stronger kill-chain corroboration and new
real-time dashboards for more targeted threat hunting.
Eliminates costly and inefficient workflow API integrations via
embedded Security Automation and Orchestration
Security teams
will realize improved efficiency and more rapid response to threats
thanks to the security automation and orchestration capabilities
embedded into the new LogRhythm 7.2 platform. What’s more, this embedded
function minimizes total cost of ownership by eliminating the need to
buy, integrate and maintain expensive third-party solutions and API
integrations. LogRhythm 7.2 delivers extensive workflow and UI
enhancements based on real-world customer feedback, such as direct
in-workflow access to threat intelligence services. The release also
adds 20 new SmartResponse™ actions that provide customers with automated
playbooks for optimal incident response.
