Upcoming Sessions
Tech Talks: Modern Log Analysis Using Elastic Stack
Wednesday, June 10
3:00—4:00 p.m.
Please join Sascha Mangs and Greg Mackinnon, both Senior Information Security Developers for ITS Information Security for a presentation about the tools they created entitled “Modern Log Analysis Using Elastic Stack”.
Modern IT infrastructures can generate log events varying from thousands to millions of events per second. Processing and analysis of these events is critical to maintaining operational stability and security. In this tech talk, we will discuss the challenges that large-scale log processing deployments must overcome. You then will learn how these challenges were solved within Yale’s Information Security Department using the Elastic Stack and Apache Kafka.
