Data Security Threats of Log Aggregation

Abstract

The development of cloud computing and distributed technologies has shifted log management operations to an aggregated form. Diverse information devices as well as information systems perform data collection and status analysis through a unified log aggregation management system. However, with the increasingly diverse business forms, the threats confronted by log aggregation systems are also mounting, among which data leakage, data tampering, data loss, and security vulnerabilities dominate the main positions. Data leakage imposes a severe challenge to the data privacy of enterprises and users, data tampering misleads the information system of enterprises and even adversely affects the decision-making of enterprises, data loss devastates the past data of enterprises and impinges on the operation of enterprises, and security vulnerabilities inflict potential safety hazards to the information systems accessed to log aggregation.
