Case Study: DataPath meets HIPAA and PCI DSS logging requirements with syslog-ng

DataPath secures 25 Windows servers with syslog-ng

DataPath, a company that produces software solutions for employee benefit plans, needed a logging solution to maintain compliance with HIPAA and PCI DSS regulations. Their challenge was to securely transmit encrypted log data from their predominantly Windows environment using TLS mutual authentication to a central location while also supporting a custom format for their intrusion detection system. They sought a single vendor solution to avoid the maintenance difficulty of using multiple products.

The solution was implemented using syslog-ng Premium Edition from One Identity, specifically its Agent for Windows. This provided the required TLS encryption, mutual authentication, and support for the custom SNARE protocol. The results included a simplified, maintainable logging infrastructure that met all compliance demands in one package. DataPath successfully monitors 25 Windows servers with the system and can react to issues faster with near real-time log delivery.
