In a perfect world, security technology would block all traffic that is malicious or geared to somehow deliver malware to an organization. However, the reality is that security technology degrades network performance (bandwidth), is inaccurate in terms of what it identifies as a threat (false positives) and are noisy by inaccurately, though constantly, alerting security staff that they may have a threat or breach (false alarms). Thus, IT and IT security must work together to find a balance between security and performance.
Log Monitoring and Management or Security Monitoring or Network Monitoring or Enterprise Security Monitoring should probably be our next step as we go through Network Security Analysis and Monitoring. Incidentally, all of those terms essentially mean the same thing in the IT Security world. MSSP’s like SecureOps do a great job of managing the time-consuming, arduous task of collecting, correlation, and analyzing the data to ultimately generate reports concerning what these logs mean from a security, regulatory, and compliance perspective. So next time let’s dig into what log monitoring and management are and why so many organizations struggle with logs.
