About InTrust
For most enterprises, collecting, storing, and analyzing data from all users and privileged accounts requires significant storage space and substantial time to gather event data and expertise. This is exactly the challenge that Quest InTrust is designed to solve.
With Quest® InTrust®, you can monitor all user workstations and administrator activities, including everything from login to logout and every action in between. By leveraging 20:1 data compression, it significantly reduces storage costs while retaining event logs from Windows, UNIX/Linux servers, databases, applications, and network devices for years. InTrust’s real-time alerting feature automatically responds to suspicious activities, enabling you to quickly address potential threats.
Product features
Centralized Log Collection
Gather and store all local or third-party workstation logs from various systems, devices, and applications in a platform with search capabilities. This platform provides real-time security and compliance reports.
InTrust offers a unified view of Windows Event Logs, UNIX/Linux logs, IIS and web application logs, PowerShell audit trails, endpoint protection systems, agents and firewalls, virtualization platforms, network devices, custom text logs, and Quest Change Auditor events.
User Workstation Log Monitoring
Monitor user workstations and administrator activities, tracking everything from login to logout and all actions in between. This ensures protection against modern cyberattacks, such as phishing and ransomware.
Collect and store detailed information about user access, including who performed what actions, when they occurred, on which server, and from which workstation source.
Simplified Event Log Analysis
InTrust consolidates encrypted event logs from distributed sources into a standardized format, including key details such as users, content, time, and location. This helps you better understand log data, especially when dealing with diverse system logs from various applications.
With InTrust®, you can analyze structured data within system event logs and accurately parse the information. Its unique full-text indexing feature enables effortless searches of historical log data, facilitating quick reporting, troubleshooting, and security investigations.
Scalable Intelligent Event Log CompressionScalable Intelligent Event Log Compression
Collect vast amounts of data and store it in a highly compressed repository (indexed data at a 20:1 compression ratio, non-indexed data at a 40:1 compression ratio), effectively reducing storage costs by up to 60%. This ensures compliance with data retention policies and regulatory standards such as HIPAA, SOX, PCI, and FISMA.
An InTrust server can process up to 60,000 events per second and supports simultaneous log writing from 10,000 agents, enabling greater efficiency, scalability, and significant hardware cost savings. For large enterprises requiring additional capacity, simply add another InTrust server to distribute the workload—scalability is virtually unlimited.
Real-Time Alerts and Response Actions
Instana monitors unauthorized or suspicious user activities, such as creating files exceeding threshold limits, using file extensions associated with known ransomware attacks, or executing suspicious PowerShell commands. Threats are addressed immediately through real-time alerts.
InTrust enables automated responses to suspicious events, such as blocking activities, disabling non-compliant users, revoking changes, and/or initiating emergency audits with ease.
Log Tamper Protection
InTrust enables the creation of a cache space on remote hosts to store copies of event logs as they are generated, safeguarding them from tampering or deletion.
Seamless SIEM Integration
InTrust supports reliable integration with Splunk, QRadar, ArcSight, and other common system log formats (RFC 5424, JSON, Snare), significantly reducing your annual SIEM licensing costs.
By collecting and storing event log data long-term, InTrust filters the data according to industry standards and forwards relevant logs to existing SIEM solutions for real-time security analysis.
Enhance Insights with IT Security Search
Centralize the management of all Quest security and compliance solutions to gain deeper insights. With IT Security Search, you can correlate data from InTrust, Change Auditor, Enterprise Reporter, Recovery Manager for AD, and Active Roles in a Google-like IT search engine, enabling faster security incident response and forensic analysis.
Leverage rich visualizations and event timelines to easily analyze user permissions and activities, event trends, suspicious patterns, and more.
Automated Best Practice Reporting
Effortlessly convert results into various report formats, including HTML, XML, PDF, CSV, TXT, and Microsoft Word, Visio, or Excel. Schedule reports to be automatically delivered to departments, or choose from a library of built-in event log reports.
With data import and integration workflows, subsets of data can be automatically forwarded to SQL Server for more advanced analysis.
