Protect your Organization from Cyber Attacks

When it comes to protecting your organization from cyber attacks, it’s never enough to simply collect logs and alerts on possible security breaches against your IT infrastructure. Effectively fighting malicious attacks requires continuously monitoring all the elements of your infrastructure, correlating security events for meaning, adding historical context and trending information, and analyzing the outcomes to smartly extract key event data to prioritize action.

CenturyLink Security Log Monitoring collects and tracks incidents in real time, applies advanced analytics, categorizes them and sends them to an expert team for review. Teams then investigate leads and prioritize events into the top incidents that require greater analysis or immediate action.

Our advanced platform takes an industry best-practice approach by leveraging automation in combination with rigorous human review. We weed out a greater number of false positive alerts than standard systems by combining log data from the risk profiles of each customer asset with real-time threat intelligence data from CenturyLink’s global corporate network and partner threat intelligence feeds.

Gain immediate visibility into systems and a deeper understanding of your security posture.
We help you apply a more strategic approach to threats by identifying and focusing on the most critical issues.
