An organization ingests logs from many systems in one place. Which method is the best for finding suspicious activity that may be overlooked when examining each source separately?
Use a process that links events from different sources
Keep everything in storage until it is requested
Place all logs together in one location for simpler management
Inspect device-specific data by hand for deeper insights
Log correlation combines data from multiple sources to detect patterns or anomalies that may not be visible when reviewing logs in isolation. While centralizing logs is necessary, it doesn't automatically reveal threats unless correlation logic or rules are applied. Manual review is inefficient and error-prone, and archival storage does not provide the analysis needed for threat detection.
