What to Log
Effective security monitoring starts with capturing the right data. Log authentication events, privilege escalations, network connections, file access on sensitive paths, and all administrative actions across every system.
SIEM Architecture
A SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform ingests logs from across your environment, normalises them into a common schema, and applies correlation rules to detect multi-step attack patterns invisible in individual logs.
Key Use Cases
- Detecting brute-force login attempts across multiple systems
- Identifying impossible travel (login from two geographically distant locations simultaneously)
- Alerting on privileged account activity outside business hours
