CenturyLink Security Log Monitoring Increases Visibility Across Hybrid Networks

CenturyLink updated its Security Log Monitoring service with correlated threat intelligence, new cloud security monitoring features, and a real-time mobile application for threat detection and response. These new capabilities give companies greater visibility across their hybrid network environments, said Chris Richter, vice president of global security services for CenturyLink. “We’re finding that environments are changing at a very rapid pace, and hybrid networking is becoming very common,” Richter said. “We’re seeing customers migrate their applications from on premises to cloud or SaaS [software-as-a-service], replacing hardware with clouds.But with this comes security risk. Log and event management tools, which provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network infrastructure, can help mitigate threats across disparate environments.
