Using cloud based security to separate log data from actionable events. The ability to employ situational awareness across all the silos of an enterprise creates the necessary context to break through the white noise of network traffic.
\nI recently came across an article regarding the difficulty of separating log data from actionable events. The issue at hand is a network is pinged potentially millions of times a day. Most of it innocuous-the legitimate log on and off of employees, genuine transactions of data, etc\u2026 But what gets lost amidst all this \u201cwhite noise,\u201d are the red flags that indicate breaches or worse malicious activities.
\nIt can be overwhelming. In fact, the article Struggling to Make Sense of Log Data, points out a study by the SANS Institute that the biggest critical concern for security is the ability to discern usable and actionable data from log files.<\/p>\n
