his filter matches the message rather than the program name. i do not have the doc at hand but i guess replacing "message" with "program" should do the trick.

Hello Experts, My in-house cybersecurity guy has a question regarding Syslog-ng filters.&nbsp; He's trying to apply a filter that drops all powershell logs forwarded to a collector if it matches certain message criteria. On the script path, he wants to drop anything that contains a specific path with a wild card at the end to catch different auto generated folder path names/PS1 script names. See an example below " Script Name = C:\Program Files (x86)\&lt;program name&gt;\&lt;random generated folder name&gt;\&lt;random generated powershell script name.ps1&gt;"&nbsp; Currently has a filter applied that is not working. { not(message("C:\Program Files (x86)\&lt;program name&gt;\*")); }; Any feedback or whether this is the right place to ask is appreciated.&nbsp;

Applying Filter with Syslog-NG


Hello Experts,
My in-house cybersecurity guy has a question regarding Syslog-ng filters. 
He&#39;s trying to apply a filter that drops all powershell logs forwarded to a collector if it matches certain message criteria. On the script path, he wants to drop anything that contains a specific path with a wild card at the end to catch different auto generated folder path names/PS1 script names. See an example below
&quot; Script Name = C:\Program Files (x86)\&lt;program name&gt;\&lt;random generated folder name&gt;\&lt;random generated powershell script name.ps1&gt;&quot; 
Currently has a filter applied that is not working.
{ not(message(&quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\&lt;program name&gt;\*&quot;)); };
Any feedback or whether this is the right place to ask is appreciated. 

The cyber security specialization covers the fundamental concepts underlying the construction of secure systems, from the hardware to the software to the human-computer interface, with the use of cryptography to secure interactions. Cyber security refers to the protection of personal or organizational information or information resources from unauthorized access, attacks, theft, or data damage. This includes controlling physical access to the hardware, as well as protecting against the harm that may come via network access, data and code injection, and due to malpractice by operators, whether intentional, accidental, or due to them being tricked into deviating from secure procedures.
