This presentation reviews Raz-Lee's syslog solution for integrating with all SIEM solutions offered, and lists our business partners in this area.

1. Syslog for SIEM Products
Using iSecurity
Real-Time Monitoring of
IBM i Security Events

2. Syslog – Why and How?
• Fact: Multi platform environments are increasingly the norm worldwide
• Goal:
• To consolidate relevant event information from multiple environments to a
single console
• This requires a SIEM (Security Information & Event Manager) solution
• Optimally, security event information should be both infrastructure related
and also application related.
• Method: Syslog is the most widely used protocol for sending alert messages
in real time to SIEM solutions.
• iSecurity products for IBM i security, auditing and compliance interface
with the SIEM solutions on the following slide

8. iSecurity Syslog Features (1/2)
• Sends security event alerts simultaneously to up to 3 SIEM products / IP
addresses
• Sends security event information originating from:
• the system’s infrastructure (QAUDJRN, network access, virus detection, user profile
changes, user requests for stronger authorities, etc.)
• business-critical applications, both from field level writes & updates and also
unauthorized READ accesses to sensitive data
• Single keyword support for LEEF (QRadar) and CEF (ArcSight) formatted
messages
• Supports UDP, TCP and encrypted TLS syslog types

9. iSecurity Syslog Features (2/2)
•Includes advanced filtering capabilities and specific severity settings to fine-
tune which events are sent to a particular SIEM
•“Super fast” iSecurity Syslog implementation enables sending extremely high
volumes of information with virtually no performance impact.
•Syslog message structure is easily definable by each site and can include
event-specific values such as user profile name, IP address, field-level before &
after values, etc.
•Syslog Self-Test enables pre-testing syslog messages to a local server before
actually sending the messages to a remote Syslog server

10. Syslog Success Stories (names available upon request)
• Large insurance company
• Sends all field-level data changes via AP-Journal’s Syslog facility to SIEM
• Monitors changes to ensure that only authorized PROD* users who also have
“change” authority, are the ones who changed data by more than X% or by a
specific amount.
• More than 1000 transactions/second are sent via Syslog; CPU overhead <1%
• Benefit: It is much easer to manage the journal change file on a PC rather than on
an IBM i
• AP-Journal also produces field-level change reports which are sent to corporate
and application managers
• Second phase of the project was the integration of Syslog from Audit (based on
QAUDJRN system journal) and Firewall

11. Syslog Success Stories (names available upon request)
• Very large mortgage bank
• Monitors all Firewall network access rejects, sending reject information via Syslog
to SIEM
• Monitors all QAUDJRN system journal activities via Audit, sending important event
information via Syslog
• SIEM performs advanced forensic analysis on Firewall and Audit log information
• Use iSecurity to provide audit reports to both internal and external auditors

12. Syslog Success Stories (names available upon request)
• Large national airport authority
• For years they sent alerts to internal AS/400 message queues. Simply by checking
message headers, the Syslog facility now sends SNMP alerts to a SIEM product.
• All definitions of new user profiles with high authorities, or changes to such user
profiles, are sent as SNMP alerts.
• Implemented “mass SNMP” capability; they defined which QAUDJRN audit types
DO NOT send SNMP traps, and all QAUDJRN entries with the other audit types
therefore automatically send, en masse, event information. Accomplished with very
little overhead.

13. Main Control Screen for SIEM & DAM
Up to 3 SIEM
servers are
supported.

14. Syslog Attribute Definitions
Maximum message
structure flexibility.
Support for LEEF
& CEF formats.
Syslog
Parameters are
easily defined.
This option is
shown on the
following slide.

15. Set Syslog handling per Audit sub-type
Severity level
can be set for
each audit
entry-type /
sub-type
combination
and for each of
up to 3 SIEM
servers.

16. Syslog Self-Test: Pre-test syslog messages locally
before sending to remote Syslog server

17. GUI- Set Syslog handling per Audit sub-type

18. Variables beginning with & are
replaced with actual event values.
&DPRICE(B) is the previous
price (“before value”) of the item.

19. Syslog messages: note multi-
product, multi-system & multi-
IP messages.

20. Note real-time user-defined messages
from AP-Journal include before and
after quantity and price values.

21. Syslog in iSecurity – Summary
• Easy to define, Easy to use, Easy to implement
• Fully parameterized, includes event-specific variable substitution
• Proven integration with nearly all SIEM products; native support for
LEEF (QRadar) and CEF (ArcSight)
• Sends messages to up to 3 SIEM products simultaneously
• Supports UDP, TCP, TLS
• Includes Self-Test to send messages locally prior to sending to a
remote Syslog server
• Case studies available
