Microsoft Application Security Event Reporter : MASER
Would you like a Product Evaluation?
MASER was developed and created by CST using commercially supported toolkits along with 10 year of experience. CST developed the MASER to augment the Microsoft operating System and maximise the return on existing investment. A software solution to centrally capture, log, archive and analyse Microsoft system events.
A typical Microsoft server or application will log literally millions of events in a 24 hour period. Such events contains valuable data, however such logs will be ignored due to the vast quantity and time required to review such events. MASER simplifies the process of capturing MS events and converting the logs into useful information.
