GLBA, also known as the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, was enacted to secure protection over customer records and information. To satisfy the riles and provisions of GLBA, financial institutions are obligated to perform security risk assessments, develop and implement security solutions that detect, prevent, and allow timely incident response effectively, and to perform auditing and monitoring of their security environment.
The collection, management, and analysis of log data are vital to meeting many GLBA mandates. LogIT directly meets these requirements. This lessens the cost of complying with others and it features a pre-configured GLBA report package. LogIT provides central monitoring of activity and conditions by gathering log data from hosts, applications, network devices, etc. Plus, LogIT helps clients become complaint with event monitoring, notifying, and reporting on specific activity and conditions.

GLBA Safeguards Rule updates
The FTC updated the GLBA Safeguards Rule in 2021, with most requirements in force since June 2023. Covered financial institutions must now monitor and log the activity of authorized users and detect unauthorized access, use multifactor authentication, encrypt customer information and report security events affecting 500 or more consumers to the FTC within 30 days (in force since May 2024).
Centralized log management covers several of these requirements at once. See LogIT log management or estimate your plan with the log management assessment.
