Logging and Monitoring in Cybersecurity Quiz

Logs and Log Management

• Logs serve as a purpose for investigating breaches and network analysis.
• Examining multiple logs when investigating a breach is important to gain a comprehensive understanding of the incident.

Log Analysis

• Log messages can help determine network activity, including who, what, when, and where.
• Centralized log storage is important for efficient log analysis and investigation.

FortiAnalyzer

• Log View in FortiAnalyzer allows users to view log messages.
• An A-DOM (Administrative Domain) in FortiAnalyzer is a grouping of devices and VLANs.
• A log group in FortiAnalyzer is a collection of logs from multiple devices.
• Log groups do not occupy additional disk space.

Log Content

• Request and response logs of primary and secondary PLC or RTU devices contain information about device interactions.

Log Analogies

• Logs are often described as the "black box" of a network, providing a record of events.

Fortinet Devices

• FortiAnalyzer provides logging, reporting, analytics, and automation for all on-fabric devices and endpoints.
• The single-pane-of-glass approach in FortiAnalyzer allows for efficient incident response and review.

Unified Event Correlation

• FortiAnalyzer offers unified event correlation and risk management for modern networks.

FortiGuard IOC Intelligence

• FortiGuard IOC Intelligence in FortiAnalyzer provides threat intelligence to aid in incident response.

Centralized Log Management

• FortiAnalyzer provides centralized search and reports for logging and analysis from multiple Fortinet devices.

Security Fabric

• Utilizing the Fortinet Security Fabric in incident response provides a unified and comprehensive security approach.
• FortiSOAR in the Security Fabric environment enables automated incident response and threat hunting.

Threat Hunting

• In the OT network, a crucial element in the framework for auditors is anomaly detection, which helps spot possible threats.

FortiSIEM

• FortiSIEM provides incident response and remediation capabilities for service issues.

Integration

• The Security Fabric can be integrated with other solutions to make threat hunting easier.

Test your knowledge on logging and monitoring in the realm of cybersecurity. Learn about the devices and features that play a vital role in collecting critical information, such as FortiGate, FortiAnalyzer, Sandbox detonation, Deception, FortiSIEM, and FortisOAR. Understand the importance of full log visibility in both IT and OT environments, and how logging and reporting contribute to threat hunting and auditing.
