Data breaches targeting Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) continue to escalate and are particularly challenging for small and under resourced schools. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently introduced Logging Made Easy, a Windows-based log management and protective monitoring solution that is both free and open to the public with no sign-up required. This tool aims to assist organizations, particularly those with limited resources, in providing a basic level of centralized security logging for Windows clients to detect and combat cyber threats more efficiently.
Logging Made Easy may be useful if your institution
Is small with limited resources and needs a centralized logging capability;
Does not have a Security Operations Center, Security Information and Event Management solution, or any active monitoring functions currently in place;
Has small, isolated networks where your existing corporate monitoring practices cannot reach; or
Needs a capability to gather logs and monitor your enterprise’s information technology but lacks resources.
