CorreLog, Inc. Issues Statement on Spectre and Meltdown CVE Mitigation with CorreLog SIEM Correlation Server
NAPLES, Fla. (PRWEB) January 31, 2018 -- CorreLog, Inc., the leader in multi-platform IT security event log management, today issued a statement regarding Spectre and Meltdown CVE vulnerabilities with CorreLog SIEM Correlation Server. Spectre and Meltdown are two vulnerabilities that affect virtually all Intel and AMC processors built in the last 20 years. These vulnerabilities affect the chip and access information as it is being used by a legitimate process on the computer. Spectre, attacks the chip, and tricks the processor into starting a speculative execution process, making information momentarily easier to access. The other vulnerability, Meltdown, lets attackers access secret information through a computer’s operating system such as Microsoft Windows or Apple’s High Sierra.
“Spectre and Meltdown may prove to be the worst hardware vulnerabilities ever,” said George Faucher, president and CEO of CorreLog. “With CorreLog’s Server organizations are alerted of attempts to insert malicious software immediately and have a constant monitoring of internal firewalls and systems with 24/7 protection and alerts in real-time against any malware, Spectre and Meltdown included.”
CorreLog’s SIEM Server provides real-time alerts and monitoring from all threat vectors by collecting all system log messages in your network and correlating them into understandable threats across Windows/UNIX and mainframe systems. CorreLog’s Server can assist with the mitigation of Spectre, Meltdown, or any other malicious software through a variety of techniques.
- CorreLog agents watch processes and can alert on anomalous process execution.
- The CorreLog Server can monitor and alert on internal firewalls and systems to determine who has access to critical and confidential machines.
- The CorreLog Server reputation database can watch internal traffic to external websites or machines that have bad reputations.
- The CorreLog FIM (File Integrity Monitor) agent can continuously scan directories and files, and report on additions, deletions, or changes to files, executing on a wide variety of platforms including Windows, UNIX, Linux, and MAC OSX systems.
- CorreLog agents can track user access to platforms, including changes to active directory groups and privileges, to identify attempts to change permissions (that might grant access to malicious individuals) and issue immediate alerts as text, email, or notification to service desk.
- CorreLog can furnish a global watch and overview of system updates, A/V programs, and other defense measures that can be used to verify good internal security.
- CorreLog can furnish behavioral analysis of users and programs to verify that a managed network is operating within expected and normal tolerances.
If you think you may have been affected by these vulnerabilities, CorreLog is interested in talking with you and reviewing the settings and real-time alerting capabilities of your installation to verify coverage of the threats described here, as well as other threats that may put you at unnecessary risk.
