Your organization’s most valuable asset is its data and the users who have access to it — but you’re only as secure as your user workstations. Collecting, storing and analyzing all user and privileged account data generally requires large amounts of storage, time-consuming collection of event data and in-house expertise about the event data collected. That’s where we come in.
Quest InTrust is a smart, scalable event log management tool that lets you monitor all user workstation and administrator activity from logons to logoffs and everything in between. Slash storage costs with 20:1 data compression, and store years of event logs from Windows, UNIX/Linux servers, databases, applications and network devices. InTrust real-time alerting enables you to immediately respond to threats with automated responses to suspicious activity.

Key capabilities
Centralized log collection
Central log collection
Collect and store all native or third-party workstation logs from various systems, devices and applications in one, searchable location with immediate availability for security and compliance reporting. Get a unified view of Windows event logs, UNIX/Linux, IIS and web application logs, PowerShell audit trails, endpoint protection systems, proxies and firewalls, virtualization platforms, network devices, custom text logs, as well as Quest Change Auditor events.
Event log compression
Event log compression
Collect and store years of data in a highly-compressed repository, 20:1 with indexing and 40:1 without, so you can save on storage costs by up to 60%, satisfy data retention policies and ensure continuous compliance with HIPAA, SOX, PCI, FISMA and more.
Simplified log analysis
Simplified log analysis
Consolidate cryptic event logs from disparate sources into a simple, normalized format of who, what, when, where, where from and whom to help you make sense of the data. Unique, full-text indexing makes long-term event data easily searchable for fast reporting, troubleshooting and security investigation.
Alerting and response actions
Alerting and response actions
Watch for unauthorized or suspicious user activity, such as file creation beyond threshold limits, using file extensions of known ransomware attacks or fishy PowerShell commands. Respond to threats immediately with real-time alerts. InTrust enables you to easily trigger automated responses to suspicious events, like blocking the activity, disabling the offending user, reversing the change and/or enabling emergency auditing.
SIEM integration
SIEM integration
InTrust delivers easy and reliable integration with Splunk, QRadar, ArcSight and any other SIEM supporting common Syslog formats (RFC 5424, JSON, Snare). With InTrust’s predictable per-user license model, you can collect and store as much data as you need for as long as you want. Then use pre-built filters based on industry best practices to forward only relevant data to your SIEM solution for real-time, security analytics. This integration enables you to slash your annual SIEM licensing costs.
Additional features
User workstation log monitoring
Protect your workstations from modern cyberattacks, such as pass-the-hash, phishing or ransomware, by monitoring user and administrator activity — from logons to logoffs and everything in between. Collect and store all essential details of user access, such as who performed the action, what that action entailed, on which server it happened and from which workstation it originated.
Hyper scalability
One InTrust server can process up to 60,000 events per second with 10,000 agents or more writing event logs simultaneously, giving you more efficiency, scalability and substantial hardware cost savings. And for large, enterprise organizations who need more volume, you can simply add another InTrust server and divide the workload — scalability is virtually limitless.
Improved insights with IT Security Search
Leverage the valuable insights from all of your Quest security and compliance solutions in one place. With IT Security Search, you can correlate data from InTrust, Change Auditor, Enterprise Reporter, Recovery Manager for AD, and Active Roles in a responsive Google-like, IT search engine for faster security incident response and forensic analysis. Easily analyze user entitlements and activity, event trends, suspicious patterns and more with rich visualizations and event timelines.
Automated best practice reporting
Easily convert investigations into multiple report formats, including HTML, XML, PDF, CSV and TXT, as well as Microsoft Word, Visio and Excel. Schedule reports and automate distribution across teams or choose from a vast library of predefined best practice reports with built-in event log expertise. With data import and consolidation workflows, you can even automatically forward a subset of data to SQL Server for further advanced analysis.
Tamper-proof logs
Protect event log data from tampering or destruction by creating a cached location on each remote server where logs can be duplicated as they are created.
