A syslog-ng Case Study
Data Base Factory, a leading CRM outsourcing provider with operations across Europe and North Africa, needed a way to securely collect and manage logs to meet PCI-DSS requirements for cardholder data protection. The company worked with syslog-ng and its syslog-ng Store Box product to centralize logging from critical systems such as Windows servers, Extreme Networks switches, and Fortinet firewalls.
Using syslog-ng Store Box, Data Base Factory archived logs in encrypted, time-stamped binary files and created dozens of daily, weekly, and monthly reports to support PCI-DSS compliance and ongoing review. The solution improved visibility into critical infrastructure and helped the company monitor high-risk devices more effectively across all sites, enabling faster response to compliance needs.
