Establishing Security Operation Center

Every organization is preparing itself for the cyber defense mechanism today. Almost all routers available in the market is armed with Access Control Lists (ACLs) to act as a first defense mechanism.

Organizations implement firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), URL filtering, mail filtering and desktop security solutions.

Organizations carrying big budgets for security throw their money to into sophisticated physical security solutions such as access control, biometric, Iris recognition systems, physical space monitoring, or PKI to manage identities.

Organizations talk about having dedicated Security teams, with security officers, network security engineers, and an experienced security head.

However, what we need to look at is the amount of logs we get from these security devices. Few questions come to our mind?

a) What are these logs?
b) What format these logs come in?
c) What they convey to us?
d) What action we are supposed to take on these logs?
e) What are the various levels of alerts?
f) To what serious levels of alerts we need to react?
g) Is there any relationship between the alert from the firewall and the one from the Intrusion Prevention system?
h) Are the devices are time synchronized?
i) Is there a better way to interpret these logs?
j) Do these individual entries tagged together can form an incident?
