The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires that all publicly traded companies implement and affirm a framework of internal controls. These controls support accountability and integrity of the financial reporting process. Executive management and all key financial reporting processes, which include the IT environment, are subject to SOX compliance requirements. Non-compliance may result in financial penalties, potential jail or prison sentences, and possibly the forfeiture of any bonuses or incentives for Senior Management. Additionally, the company may be prevented from listing itself with securities exchanges for material non-compliance. These penalties will likely have a negative impact on the company’s stock value and reputation as a whole.
Today’s companies rely heavily on their IT infrastructure in the financial reporting process. The infrastructure typically consists of heterogeneous devices, systems, and applications - all reporting log data. Millions of individual log entries can be generated daily if not hourly. The task of organizing this information can be overwhelming in itself. The additional requirements of analyzing and reporting on log data have rendered manual processes or homegrown remedies inadequate and too costly.
The collection, management, and analysis of log data are integral to meeting many SOX requirements. LogRhythm can help. The use of LogRhythm directly meets some requirements and decreases the cost of complying with others.
