Event life cycle of any siem solution

Question

Accepted Answer

The event life cycle of a SIEM solution involves several stages from data collection to incident response.

Data collection: SIEM collects logs and events from various sources such as network devices, servers, and applications.
Normalization: The collected data is normalized to a common format for easier analysis and correlation.
Aggregation: Events are grouped together based on common attributes to identify patterns and trends.
Correlation: SIEM correlates events from different sources to detect potential security incidents.
Alerting: When a security incident is detected, SIEM generates alerts to notify security analysts.
Investigation: Analysts investigate the alerts to determine the nature and severity of the incident.
Remediation: Once the incident is confirmed, appropriate actions are taken to mitigate the impact and prevent further damage.
Reporting: SIEM generates reports to provide insights into security incidents, compliance, and overall system health.
