The significance of the subject is explained quite clearly in the 2nd paragraph of the article - Log data provides a record of all corporate system activity and is critical for improving security[3], complying with requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA[4] and PCI-DSS, and optimizing IT operations [5]. However, given the large number of logs produced by different devices, their inherent obscurity and the lack of a standard logging format, system-specific expertise is typically needed to extract any meaningful intelligence[6].

I concur. This article doesn't fall under A7. JoJan (talk) 17:09, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
