ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question
In the context of security event monitoring, what is the primary benefit of deploying a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform instead of examining each system's logs separately?
It physically isolates critical servers from the network.
It replaces the need to apply security patches by blocking exploits.
It aggregates logs from multiple sources and correlates events to highlight suspicious activity.
It automatically encrypts all logs to prevent tampering.
A SIEM collects log data from many sources, normalizes and correlates the information, and then presents a consolidated view of suspicious patterns. This unified analysis speeds detection and reduces the chance that related events on different devices will be missed. Simply encrypting logs, isolating servers, or blocking exploits are important security measures, but none of those functions represent the core purpose of a SIEM.
