New OSCC R&D Product: MySurveillance
MySurveillance is a security monitoring system application that collects and
analyzes security reports from all network devices and system application
such as firewall, database, web server and switches. MySurveillance client-
server architecture helps organizations/individual to monitor all devices or
applications from central (MySurveillance server).
Each client will be installed with the MySurveillance sensor which will
collect the security event logs and Intrusion Detection Message Exchange
Format (IDMEF) will translate the log to common language before sending
it to the MySurveillance server for analysis. Report of all security events will
be displayed at the MySurveillance Console.
Complex and large organizations such as governmental agencies benefit
from the flexibility that MySurveillance offers them. In addition to being
compatible with most security systems on the market, there are many
variations in infrastructure that are possible with MySurveillance such as
filtering system and sensor error detection system with status reporting.
Objectives

Public Sector agencies to achieve the following objectives:
● To collect and analyze security event logs from various network
and system devices.
● To centrally monitor overall network and system security.
● To identify critical security events rapidly and effectively.
Features
Some of the features available in MySurveillance are:
● Able to support log files generated by various devices and
applications available in the market.
● Real-time analysis of events received from MySurveillance
sensor
● Built-in event log filter enables only critical and error messages to
be displayed at central server.
