Detect more threats faster and investigate with greater intelligence. Falcon LogScale delivers real-time performance for system monitoring and investigation allowing users to ingest huge amounts of data for ad-hoc queries and search.

Monitoring and searches
With Falcon LogScale’s instant visibility, security teams have continuous insights that enable immediate responses and actions to strengthen the performance across systems, prevent infrastructure breakdowns and protect against attacks.

Developers, security teams and operations managers require visibility across the state of their applications, services, servers, devices and more, all in real time. Falcon LogScale enables teams to understand all of their data to optimize the performance of their applications, prevent infrastructure breakdowns and protect against malware.

As systems become more complex, more surfaces reveal themselves to hackers looking to steal data or inject malware into environments to ultimately bring organizations down. Falcon LogScale enables enterprises to achieve an aggregated view of all relevant network security data sources to explore and manage ever increasing threats and vulnerabilities within one cost effective platform in an easy and intuitive search language.

Ingestion and retention
Limited data retention makes it nearly impossible for teams to see the complete history of an attack, minimizing threat context and hindering an investigator’s ability to effectively find and remediate threats. This lack of access to historical data and contextual information can lead to slower time-to-detect and cause security teams to potentially miss key threat activities as they fall through the visibility gaps, increasing dwell time and putting organizations at risk of a breach.

Falcon LogScale provides the ability to ingest over 1 PB of data each day, allowing organizations to expand the horizon for data retention. Falcon Long Term Repository (LTR) gives you the ability to combine a wide variety of structured, unstructured and semi-structured data and provides access to extended data retention for a year or longer. By giving access to more data — and a longer timeframe to retain that data — your team can gain visibility and threat context across your growing attack surface.

With Falcon LTR, you get deep, contextual and faster analytics on massive amounts of log data combined with enriched security data across endpoints, workloads and identities, including the correlation of Falcon IOCs. With powerful search and threat hunting capabilities, you can observe, analyze and act from all data — both real-time and long-term historic data — and detect potential threats faster and more accurately.

Investigations and responses
The Falcon LogScale data-driven security solution provides incident responders and threat hunters the ability to instantly visualize, search and explore their network data through an intuitive UI.

Falcon LogScale provides network security teams data-driven exploration in a cost effective solution to enable comprehensive log data analysis vs log management processing costs.

Falcon LogScale is significantly advancing threat hunting capabilities with a comprehensive border security platform that encompasses all of the system data, structured and unstructured. The platform is purpose-built to ingest and aggregate large log data volumes instantly, analyze and correlate across all of that data within all types of infrastructure.

Through Falcon LogScale’s live, proactive monitoring, security teams can investigate any threats or compromises and are able to analyze and explore the events being logged every second on network boundary devices.

Imperative in security incident response, Falcon LogScale users have instant access to explore and monitor their logs through centralized logging to make audits quick, easy and secure by enabling the transmission of data from any source.

Falcon LogScale’s instant observability is a critical asset for security event monitoring organizations tasked with thwarting attacks and minimizing dwell time and other time-critical scenarios.
