Case Study: ALPS achieves faster threat detection and GLBA‑compliant log retention with LogRhythm

LogRhythm Helps Mutual Fund Administrator Reap Big Returns with SIEM 2.0

ALPS, a Denver‑based mutual fund administrator serving hundreds of clients and managing billions in assets, needed to tighten security monitoring to meet GLBA requirements. The firm had to aggregate and report logs from two data centers (about 200 servers), multiple firewalls and custom web applications, but its previous system was difficult to maintain, weak on log retention and limited in reporting and custom rule creation.

ALPS deployed LogRhythm Log Management & SIEM 2.0 plus File Integrity Monitoring to ingest logs from servers, routers, switches, firewalls and custom apps. The solution simplified ad‑hoc investigation with on‑the‑fly filtering, enabled DB log collection via a Universal Log Adapter, and provided rule‑writing training for DHCP and custom apps. As a result ALPS achieved stronger log retention and compliance, faster investigations and detection of suspicious logins and unauthorized devices, and greater operational self‑sufficiency.
