What is a SIEM and what should you log for effective detection?
Answer
A SIEM aggregates logs for detection and investigation.
Log:
- Auth events (success/failure)
- Privileged actions
- Network flows
- API access patterns
- Endpoint events
Quality matters: normalize fields, add correlation IDs, reduce noise, and build detections tied to real threats.
