Cloudflare: Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, has announced the general availability of Cloudflare Log Explorer. This new tool is designed to provide businesses with immediate access to crucial security and performance insights across their IT environments. With this development, customers can now analyze, investigate, and monitor security threats using log line level insights natively within the Cloudflare Dashboard. This eliminates the necessity of forwarding logs to third-party security analysis tools, thereby saving time for security teams and reducing overall costs.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, security and operations teams depend on logs for essential insights, which help them troubleshoot issues, investigate security incidents, and enhance the performance, reliability, and security of applications and infrastructure. Traditionally, organizations have had to rely on external monitoring tools to capture logs and gain this visibility. This process is often cumbersome and expensive, as it requires businesses to set up and pay for storage, as well as learn a proprietary query language to access their own data. Additionally, switching between platforms can lead to a loss of context regarding potential threats and can delay response times, preventing teams from resolving issues efficiently. The large volumes of data involved further add to the cost and complexity.
