For organizations that need to remain compliant with specific regulatory standards, requirements can too often be confusing and complex. In our latest white paper Using Logs to Address Compliance Standards, we aim to shed light on the role of logs across three popular compliances: HIPAA, PCI DSS, and Sarbanes Oxley.

While each compliance varies in specificity, log management plays a central role in all three. The below excerpt from Using Logs to Address Compliance Standards explores the different types of events an organization should be actively looking for within their logs based on each of the three compliance standards.
