Study Notes

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.
