Operational risk management is an essential element of modern business management. Within the IT environment, it requires operational tracking and verification of all security-relevant activities that take place in the information system. This practice is also increasingly imposed by regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley, PCI, FISMA, HIPAA, GLBA, and European privacy laws.

To comply with this requirement, logs with audit data produced by IT equipment, systems, middleware, and applications must be collected along with context-relevant information, consolidated in a tamper-proof data warehouse for the required retention period, and immediately made available to compliance, fraud management, threat management and incident response applications.

The main obstacle in achieving this task is outlined in the substantial inability of traditional products to handle the data volumes involved within reasonable time and cost constraints.

iknoplex Log Manager has been developed with scalability and performance as its primary design goals. It constitutes a robust log management infrastructure that collects and instantly processes terabytes of audit logs across the enterprise, delivering the fastest data warehouse infrastructure for high-volume log data currently on the market. To manage extraordinary large data volumes with high throughput and low latency, iknoplex leverages an innovative architecture based on parallel computing, high availability clustering, and column-oriented data storage.
