Why Criminals Erase Your Logs and How to Stop Them
Millions of firms are attacked by criminals on a daily basis. Some of them are prepared for cyber-crimes but some are still easy targets for virtual criminals. But why is it that these hackers are only rarely traced and found?
It is all about system logs. A log is a fingerprint of a cyber-criminal activity that he or she leaves in an attacked system. In order to avoid their exposure, hackers try to stop logging as soon as possible. Then they always sweep and clean these logs behind, so they become virtually untraceable. It is their way of cleaning up the crime scene. According to up-to-date ISO norms, companies must archive their system logs for a certain period of time ideally off-site. Apparently, this norm helps to increase cyber-security for businesses and their clients.
In Binary Confidence, we are all ready to deal with changed, hidden or deleted system logs. In order to protect our clients to the maximum extent, we first transfer their logs to our secure environment where we store or even analyze them. In this off-site environment, we are capable of discovering what server logs have been deleted either by hackers, inappropriate system maintenance or even as a result of a disaster.
We can detect and identify changed or deleted logs together with their original form and all changes they went through while the system was under attack. What our clients need to do? Absolutely nothing, we are here for the hard work.
