In a security operations center (SOC), which of the following best describes the primary security-focused purpose of a centralized log management program?
Providing verifiable evidence to reconstruct and investigate security incidents
Forecasting storage capacity needs for future infrastructure growth
Meeting regulatory and industry compliance reporting requirements
Facilitating routine system troubleshooting and debugging activities
Log management collects, preserves, and correlates event records so investigators can reconstruct a reliable timeline, identify responsible systems or users, and present an admissible audit trail. Although the same data set can help satisfy compliance reporting, streamline troubleshooting, or support capacity planning, those objectives are secondary. Without trustworthy logs, incident responders would lack the factual foundation needed to understand what happened and to support legal, regulatory, or disciplinary action.
