Transforming Fortinet FortiGate Logs into Actionable Insights Using Falcon LogScale

Transforming Fortinet FortiGate Logs into Actionable Insights Using Falcon LogScale

Fortinet FortiGate firewalls are critical components in safeguarding enterprise networks, offering advanced threat protection and network management capabilities. However, with the vast amounts of log data generated, it can be challenging to extract meaningful insights that drive actionable decisions. Crowdstrike’s Falcon LogScale (previously known as Humio), is a next-generation SIEM solution for parsing, visualizing, and analyzing Fortinet FortiGate logs, empowering organizations to enhance their security posture and optimize network performance. In this blog, we’ll explore how Data Elicit Solutions’ custom-built parser and dashboards can help you gain deeper insights from your Fortinet FortiGate logs.

Parsing Logs

The cornerstone of this package is the fortinet-firewall parser, designed to efficiently parse and categorize various log types generated by Fortinet FortiGate devices. These parsers allows you to transform raw log data into structured formats that can be easily visualized and analyzed. The parser normalizes data to a common schema called CrowdStrike Parsing Standard (CPS). This schema allows you to search the data without knowing the data specifically, and just knowing the common schema instead. It also allows you to combine the data more easily with other data sources which conform to the same schema. It currently supports messages of traffic, event and UTM types.

Pre-Built Dashboards for Quick Insights

To help you maximize the value of your Fortinet FortiGate logs, we’ve created a set of pre-built dashboards. These dashboards provide a real-time view of your network’s security and performance, enabling you to make informed decisions quickly. The package includes dashboards for:

Authentication & Events

Threat & Traffic

UTM Events

VPN Events

Wireless Events

With Fortinet FortiGate logs successfully ingested into Falcon Logscale, SOC team can gain access to a wealth of actionable insights and can proactively address the treats and issues. The Fortinet FortiGate Dashboards provides efficient visualization and insights as shown in the pictures.

Conclusion

Falcon LogScale, combined with the Data Elicit Solutions’ Fortinet FortiGate package, offers a powerful solution for visualizing and analyzing Fortinet FortiGate logs. By leveraging these tools, you can enhance your network security, optimize performance, and ensure compliance with ease.
