Getting started
The BMC Defender SyslogDefender product forwards syslog messages from syslog senders to syslog collectors, which provides the following primary benefits:
- Enables syslog collectors to receive syslog messages using protocols that are not directly supported: IPv6, TCP/IP, or SSL/TLS
- Provides a single, reliable, and encrypted pipeline between various syslog senders to a syslog collector, potentially reducing the number of open ports needed in firewall configurations
This information is intended for the following roles:
- System administrators who are responsible for installing the software components on the Windows platform
- Security administrators who want to extend the range of their syslog collection network
Refer to the BMC Defender SIEM Correlation Server documentation for further information about its features.
