How to anonymize personal data from events

If you need to comply with laws that require personal data from logs that should only be revealed to authorized persons, you can use the Anonymization feature in GFI EventsManager since it encrypts the personal data found in Windows Security logs, SQL Server and Oracle audit logs.

If you are interested in this feature we recommend:

  • Enabling anonymization from Configuration > Options > Console Security > Audit Options > Anonymization
  • Collecting a few Windows events and see how the anonymized columns look in the Browser.
  • Decrypting the anonymized data by turning off the anonymization.
