1.0 Introduction
This document describes how to integrate Fortanix-Data-Security-Manager (DSM) with Sumo Logic (SIEM) on Linux Server.
2.0 Terminology
DSM – Data Security Manager
Data Security Manager is the cloud solution secured with Intel® SGX. With Fortanix DSM, you can securely generate, store, and use cryptographic keys and certificates, as well as secrets, such as passwords, API keys, tokens, or any blob of data.
Sumo Logic
Sumo Logic is a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that provides security analysts with enhanced visibility across the enterprise to thoroughly understand the impact and context of an attack. Sumo Logic offers streamlined workflows that automatically triage alerts to maximize security analyst efficiency and focus.
