Solution Overview
Unauthorized access can be monitored by using the ETERNUS DX's audit log collection and transfer function. Use
acquired audit log information as audit trail information to monitor and track suspicious operations and access.
Centralized administrative control of SED authentication keys in an external server can be performed by linking
with the key server. Even if a data drive in the ETERNUS DX is stolen, data leakage can be prevented by safely
storing the authentication key. Automatic updating of the authentication key on a periodic basis also enhances
the security of the entire system.

Configuration Procedure
Use the ETERNUS DX to enable the audit log transmission function and to register the Syslog server as the
destination to which audit logs are sent.
When key management server linkage is used, set up SED key management in the operation management
server (ETERNUS SF KM). Use the ETERNUS DX to create a key group and to register the key server. Keys are
created in the operation management server. The ETERNUS DX requests the key to be extracted from the
operation management server or requests the key to be updated when required.
● Required Environment
A Syslog server is required for the destination for the transmission of the audit log that is collected.
Note that ETERNUS SF KM is required when linking with the key management server.
