Less than 1% of data breaches discovered via security logs. In this webinar we explore the reasons behind this shocking statistic and learn how to overcome this reality.
ObserveIT Xpress is a free software designed for small office or department-level ad hoc server auditing. This highly valuable software is free for life and is the perfect solution for companies needing to improve their security and compliance with User Activity Monitoring.
Hong Kong, Jan 16, 2012 — Fujitsu today announces its partnership with ObserveIT to introduce a new suite of security and monitoring software applications and services for enterprises in Hong Kong and Macau. ObserveIT, which is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel and specializes in overcoming the complex compliance and security challenges related to user activity auditing, provides solutions to fill in the security gap in enterprise IT systems. With Fujitsu’s extensive local market knowledge and ObserveIT’s market-leading User Activity Monitoring technologies, enterprises can enrich their availability in database and system logs activity monitoring, which previously has been one of the missing pieces in complete compliance and security, especially for private cloud environment and the FSI (financial services institutions), utility and transportation industry verticals.
“For our customers’ security needs in Hong Kong and Macau, we are constantly expanding our servers computing solutions. We are pleased to collaborate with ObserveIT to help enterprise easily capture video recordings of user activity, and generate audit logs for all applications, users, protocols, environments and sessions. We bring ObserveIT’s patent-pending video generation solutions to enable enterprise to analyze user activities videos while minimizing the amount of storage needed and reducing the storage cost. This is an ideal security technology for diverse industries in Hong Kong and Macau with the need for legal system logins,” said Rikiya Kano, General Manager, Marketing, Fujitsu Hong Kong Limited.
Big news for our customers who also use RSA enVison… And for the entire RSA enVision user base…
RSA/EMC has recently published an official “enVision Ready” integration package for adding ObserveIT user activity logs to enVision. With this, you can see all the rich details of ObserveIT’s user activity monitoring platform straight from within enVision’s reporting and dashboard environment.
You can get the integration package on the RSA Solution Gallery here or download the PDF guide doc here.
We’ve been working hard with the RSA engineers to get this up and running, and we’re proud to see it go live. If you have any questions or want to dig deeper than the content on the RSA site, feel free to follow up with Ilan Sharoni, our own integration-meister here at ObserveIT. Ping him here: ilan “at” observeit.com, he’ll be glad to walk you through it.
Many of our customers have long been using ObserveIT to capture user activity within published applications on Citrix XenApp servers. Based on this high volume of usage, Citrix and ObserveIT have worked to certify the ObserveIT auditing platform as Citrix Ready.
We are especially happy to add this sign of approval, because it helps many Citrix customers who don’t have a full Platinum edition deployment, but want to be able to capture user activity audit logs. (Only the platinum edition of Citrix XenApp has built-in user audit recording.)

We are happy to announce that ObserveIT v5.5 is now available online!
This release includes a few important new features. Read about the new features here. They include:
As Linux fans know, there are two kinds of hackers: the good guys who develop free software, such as the Linux kernel, and the bad guys who break into computers.
The bad guys paid the good guys an unwelcome visit earlier this month, breaking into the Kernel.org website that is home to the Linux project. They gained root access to a server known as Hera and ultimately compromised “a number of servers in the kernel.org infrastructure,” according to a note on the kernel.org website Wednesday.
Administrators of the website learned of the problem Sunday and soon discovered a number of bad things were happening on their servers. Files were modified, a malicious program was added to the server’s startup scripts and some user data was logged.
ObserveIT was invited by Pael Dwyer (an industry leader covering the areas of security, risk and compliance in the Irish market) to give a presentation about Blindspots, which exist in many company’s security and compliance audits.
World-reknowned book author and industry consultant Dr. Anton Chuvakin has recently published an in-depth review of the complexities involved in complying with PCI DSS regulations.
Read Anton’s intro on his website here, or download the full whitepaper here.
“The right solution for “cracking the nut” of PCI DSS controls and security for environments where logging and monitoring are next to impossible is in “making your own logs” where none exist or “making better logs” where logs are inadequate for facing the challenges. Technologies such as ObserveIT make that possible.”
His experience provides important insight into how so many retailers, both large and small, are impacted by the PCI hurricane.
We have just released ObserveIT v5.3 to our website
