A global financial organization is experiencing difficulties with their current logging and monitoring solution. The security team spends excessive time manually correlating security events from multiple sources, resulting in delayed incident detection. The CISO wants to implement a solution that provides real-time analysis capabilities and centralizes all security data. Which of the following solutions would best address these requirements?
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution is the correct answer because it specifically addresses the key requirements mentioned in the scenario. SIEM platforms are designed to collect, aggregate, and correlate log data and security events from diverse sources across the enterprise network. They provide real-time analysis of security alerts, automated correlation of events, and centralized management of log data.
The other options would not fully address the organization's needs:
An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) would detect suspicious activities but lacks comprehensive log aggregation and correlation features across diverse systems.
Log Management tools focus primarily on collecting and storing logs but typically lack advanced correlation and real-time analysis capabilities.
User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) specifically focuses on identifying anomalous user behaviors using machine learning algorithms, but does not provide the comprehensive event correlation and centralized security monitoring capabilities required in this scenario.
