Abstract

As an increase in the amount of data breaches, hacking attempts and other malicious activities have harmed corporate environments, regulations have arisen to address the concerns of the public in regards to these events. As a result, corporations have to address the need for log management and data retention within their environments. This requires an abundance of resources and policies to ensure that the log data collected meet integrity standards and can be assured to be accurate. A review of (1) why log management and retention is important, (2) the barriers of good log management policies, types of log files, and (3) the future security concerns are surveyed to better understand the needs of the corporate environment.
