MySurveillance is a security monitoring system application that collects and analyzes security reports from all network devices and system application such as firewall, database, web server and switches. MySurveillance client-server architecture helps organisations/individuals to monitor all devices or applications from a central location (MySurveillance server).

Each client will be installed with the MySurveillance sensor which will collect the security event logs and Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format (IDMEF) will translate the log to common language before sending it to the MySurveillance server for analysis. Reports of all security events will be displayed at the MySurveillance Console.

Complex and large organizations such as government agencies benefit from the flexibility that MySurveillance offers them. In addition to being compatible with security systems on the market, there are many variations in infrastructure that are possible with MySurveillance such as filtering system and sensor error detection system with status reporting.
