In Italy, we have to be compliant with the Garante for privacy. We have to log every login, logout, or login failure made by a system administrator. We store all syslog data of the infrastructure. All our data centers can send logs over TLS or in plain text, and our syslog server can receive all these servers. We can concentrate all logs on a single machine. If we have to search for an intrusion or if an auditor asks us for a log of an administrator that logged into a machine, we can provide all the information they need. Our current goal is to be compliant. We chose syslog-ng because it is easy to install, easy to maintain, easy to update, and due to the fact that all data arrive in raw format, we can manipulate it as we want. First and foremost, it was important for us to be compliant with Italian law.

I use syslog-ng for log processing.
We use it for compliance issues, like law enforcement for the Brazilian government.
I use syslog-ng to perform enterprise security audits for compliance with data regulations like GDPR in Brazil.
We use syslog-ng to aggregate all our logs. We were looking for a SIEM solution, so syslog-ng is serving as a temporary replacement.
