SLAC – Secure Log File Analysis Service
Automated and Secure Log File Analysis Service – SLAC.
An Intelligent Log File Analysis System to keep you informed about your Web Servers safety and your Checkpoint FW-1. No software required!
Interesting idea…I am just not sure that administrators will feel safe enough to send their corporate logs to an external service like this.
Obviously there’s precedence, Counterpane is a monitoring and log analysis service.
What do you think?

Being the founder of the company and running the service, I may be biased… However, the idea is this: If you are a security aware admin, and want to know what is going on in your logs – but don’t have the time/funds/interest/whatever to build your own system or purchase tools to perform the analysis – then the SLAC is an option. Simply e-mail the logs or submit them via the web-interface, and an analysis will be returned in minutes. Concerned about security? PGP-encrypt the logs before submitting them.
A system designed with the term ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ in mind.
