Question

Accepted Answer

A Security Analyst's role involves managing and monitoring a Security Operations Center (SOC), preparing daily reports, integrating various log sources with SIEM, and responding to security alerts.

SOC scenario involves monitoring network traffic, analyzing security alerts, and responding to incidents
Daily reports include summaries of security events, incident response activities, and trend analysis
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a software solution that aggregates and analyzes security event data
Common log sources integrated with SIEM include firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems
SIEM communication port numbers vary depending on the specific solution being used
Integrating a Windows server with SIEM involves installing an agent or forwarding logs to the SIEM server
Integrating a Syslog device with SIEM requires configuring the device to send logs to the SIEM server
Rule types on ArcSight SIEM include correlation rules, threshold rules, and anomaly detection rules
Correlated events are security incidents that are linked together based on predefined rules or patterns
Event aggregation involves combining multiple related security events into a single, more meaningful event
Creating a report on SIEM involves selecting relevant data, defining report parameters, and generating the report
If a Security Analyst receives a virus detection alert, the next stage would involve investigating the alert, containing the threat, and remediating the affected systems
