The Threat Detection Challenge

Having logs isn’t enough—you need real-time detection and expert analysis to identify threats before they become breaches.

Alert Overload & Fatigue

Data Chaos & Inconsistency

Security data arrives in hundreds of different formats from diverse sources—firewalls, endpoints, cloud platforms, applications. Without expert parsing and normalization, your SIEM becomes a data graveyard rather than an intelligence platform.

Complex Rule Development

Spiraling SIEM Costs

Traditional SIEMs charge per GB ingested, leading to unpredictable costs and pressure to limit data collection. This creates blind spots in your security visibility—the exact opposite of what you need.

24/7 Monitoring Gap

Time-Consuming Data Onboarding

Adding new data sources requires specialized expertise in parsing, field mapping, and schema design. Most teams lack the time or knowledge to do this properly, leaving critical data sources offline for months.

Lack of Security Context

Poor Query Performance

Without proper indexing and optimization, SIEM queries take minutes or hours to complete. When investigating an active incident, every second counts—slow queries mean slower response times and greater damage.

The LogIngest Solution

Expert-managed SIEM detection with 24/7 SOC monitoring, pre-tuned correlation rules, and actionable alerts

 
Threat remediation service workflow for rapid incident response

Expert Data Engineering

Our certified LogScale engineers handle all aspects of data collection, parsing, and normalization. We create custom parsers for your unique data sources and ensure every field is properly mapped for maximum searchability and correlation.

Predictable, Cost-Effective Pricing

LogScale's unique architecture offers unlimited ingest and queries with predictable licensing based on retention. We help you achieve 40% cost reduction compared to traditional SIEMs while actually increasing data collection.

Rapid Response

Lightning-Fast Onboarding

New data sources are operational in days, not months. Our team handles connector configuration, parser development, testing, and validation—you simply point us to the data source and we handle the rest.

Complex Rule Development

Optimized Performance

LogScale's index-free architecture delivers sub-second query responses even on petabytes of data. Combined with our optimization expertise, you get the performance you need for real-time threat hunting and incident investigation.

Core Capabilities

Comprehensive threat detection managed by security experts

 

1

Universal Data Collection

Ingest from any source via syslog, APIs, agents, or custom connectors. Firewalls, endpoints, cloud platforms, applications, network devices—we collect it all.

2

Custom Parser Development

Expert creation of custom parsers for proprietary or uncommon data formats. Every field extracted, typed, and mapped correctly for searchability.

3

Data Normalization

Transform diverse data formats into consistent, structured fields. Standardized schemas enable effective correlation and analysis across all sources.

4

Field Extraction & Enrichment

Automatic extraction of critical security fields—IPs, users, domains, file hashes. Enrichment with threat intelligence, geolocation, and organizational context

5

Data Quality Validation

Continuous monitoring of data ingestion health, completeness, and accuracy. Automated alerts when sources fall offline or data quality degrades.

6

Ongoing Optimization

Regular tuning of parsers and ingest pipelines. Performance optimization, cost management, and adaptation to changing data sources and volumes.

How LogAlert Works

From initial deployment to ongoing optimization

Discovery & Assessment

We start by cataloging your data sources and understanding your security visibility requirements. Our team identifies critical data gaps and prioritizes sources based on security value and compliance needs.

Connector Configuration

Our engineers configure collection methods for each data source—whether via syslog, API integration, agent deployment, or custom connector development. We handle all technical details and security considerations.

Parser Development & Testing

We create custom parsers to extract, normalize, and structure your security data. Each parser is thoroughly tested to ensure accuracy, performance, and completeness of field extraction.

Production Deployment

Once tested and validated, we deploy parsers to production and begin full-scale data ingestion. We monitor initial data flow closely to ensure quality and performance meet expectations.

Ongoing Management & Optimization

LogIngest includes continuous monitoring and optimization of your data pipelines. We proactively identify and resolve issues, add new sources as needed, and optimize performance as your environment evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

LogIngest can collect from virtually any data source including firewalls, routers, switches, endpoints (Windows, Mac, Linux), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS applications (Office 365, Salesforce, etc.), databases, web servers, applications, and custom systems. We support syslog, API integrations, agents, and custom connectors. If it generates logs, we can collect it.

 

Standard data sources with existing parsers can be onboarded in 1-3 days. Custom or proprietary data sources requiring new parser development typically take 5-10 business days from initial configuration to production deployment. We prioritize critical security sources for fastest onboarding.

LogIngest includes 24/7 monitoring of all data sources, proactive alerting when sources go offline or data quality degrades, parser updates when log formats change, continuous performance optimization, quarterly reviews to identify gaps and add new sources, and technical support for any ingestion-related issues. You get peace of mind that your data is flowing correctly at all times.

LogIngest pricing is based on data volume ingested and retained, with predictable monthly costs. Unlike traditional SIEMs that charge per GB ingested, LogScale’s licensing model makes costs more predictable. Our typical customers see 40% cost reduction compared to their previous SIEM while increasing data collection. Contact us for specific pricing based on your environment size and retention requirements.

Absolutely! LogIngest is designed as the foundation for our progressive security journey. You can upgrade to LogAlert (managed SIEM detection), LogRespond (enhanced investigation), or LogRemediate (full managed security) at any time. Your data infrastructure stays the same—we simply layer additional security services on top. Many customers start with LogIngest to solve their immediate visibility challenges, then add detection and response capabilities as their security program matures.

Minimal infrastructure is required. For cloud-native organizations, we can often collect logs via API with no on-premises infrastructure. For hybrid or on-premises environments, we deploy lightweight collectors (virtual appliances or containers) in your environment. These collectors require minimal resources and are fully managed by our team. LogScale itself can be deployed in your cloud environment or used as a SaaS platform—you choose based on your data residency and compliance requirements.

Our 24/7 monitoring system detects when data sources stop sending logs or when data volumes drop below expected thresholds. We immediately investigate and work to restore the data flow. In many cases, we can resolve issues before you’re even aware there’s a problem. For sources under your direct control (e.g., on-premises firewalls), we’ll notify you if action is needed on your side. This proactive monitoring ensures you maintain continuous security visibility.

LogIngest is designed with compliance in mind. We configure retention policies based on your regulatory requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOX, etc.). LogScale supports flexible retention policies—you can retain different data types for different periods based on compliance needs and storage costs. We provide audit-ready documentation showing what data is collected, how long it’s retained, and verification that collection is complete and continuous. Our SOC 2 Type 2 certification provides additional assurance of our operational controls.
