Choice Hotels International has selected the HP Compliance Log Warehouse 2.0 security appliance to automate compliance processes and reduce risk to its business.

According to HP, Compliance Log Warehouse (CLW) 2.0 provides real-time collection, storage and retrieval of network activity logs to detect unusual events that could lead to a security breach. The data management appliance consolidates event logs across the enterprise – applications, databases and unstructured data – to provide a single view of activity within a network.

Part of the HP Secure Advantage portfolio, HP CLW 2.0 collects, stores and analyzes data created by a myriad of systems in an enterprise. These include application logins, failed login attempts and software changes to management logs.

Chad Mason, director of test engineering at Choice Hotels, said: HP CLW enables Choice Hotels to more easily identify malicious network activity, protect intellectual property and increase productivity at a lower cost to the business than the manual systems that we previously relied on. With an intuitive user interface and simple reporting, we are able to monitor, manage and gain unmatched insight into a high volume of event logs from a variety of sources that support sensitive consumer transactions throughout the organization.
