The Challenge

Regulatory pressure is outpacing SIEM economics

Financial institutions run high volumes of sensitive transactions across legacy core banking systems, trading platforms, and modern cloud services — each generating log data that has to be retained, protected, and made audit-ready. Ingestion-based SIEM pricing punishes exactly the organisations that need to log the most.

SOX | PCI DSS | DORA | APRA CPS 234 | GDPR | GLBA

  • Legacy core systems and cloud platforms generate large volumes of unstructured, inconsistent log data

  • Per-GB SIEM ingestion drives teams to trim sources — creating visibility gaps that surface during an incident or audit

  • Compliance teams spend weeks reconciling fragmented logs across systems ahead of SOX and PCI DSS reporting cycles

  • Multi-year retention mandates (SOX, DORA) are costly to satisfy with “hot” SIEM storage

  • Auditor requests for historical data windows are slow and expensive to fulfil under continuous-ingestion models

Compliance Coverage

Purpose-built reporting for SOX, PCI DSS & beyond

Snare Agent

Collects tamper-resistant logs from core banking systems, trading platforms, endpoints, and cloud workloads — encrypted and chain-of-custody protected at the source.

Snare Reflector

Filters and routes logs in real time to your SIEM, data lake, or archive in parallel — no duplicated ingestion, no vendor lock-in.

Snare Central

Archives compressed, searchable history at a fraction of SIEM storage cost. Log Replay pushes only the relevant window back into a SIEM for an audit or investigation.

AskSnare

Compliance and audit teams query the full data estate in plain English — “show every privileged access event in Q2” — with explainable, auditable answers.

The Snare Solution

One pipeline: collection, archive, routing, and plain-Language audit prep

Identity & access events

User login, logoff, login failure, and account validation (successful and unsuccessful) tracked across every system.

Privileged & account changes

Account management changes, user group changes, and audit policy changes captured for SOX internal-controls reporting.

System & object access

Object access, system events, and host session status logged for PCI DSS and general security requirements.

Individual user tracking

Track individual user actions and application access — who touched what, and when — for forensic-grade accountability.

Long-term retention

Compressed archive in Snare Central meets multi-year SOX and DORA retention windows without keeping years of data “hot.”

Explainable AI audit prep

AskSnare surfaces gap analysis and answers in plain English, with reasoning drawn from the same tamper-evident log data auditors already trust.
