How can I effectively monitor logs for security threats?

To effectively monitor logs for security threats, you should implement a centralized logging system, use automated tools for analysis, and establish baseline behavior to identify anomalies.

What types of logs should I focus on?

Focus on system logs, application logs, security logs, and network logs. Each type provides valuable insights into different aspects of security.

How often should I review these logs?

It's best to review logs regularly, ideally daily for critical systems, and at least weekly for less critical ones. Automated alerts can help with this.

Are there any specific tools you recommend for log monitoring?

Yes, tools like Splunk, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), and Graylog are popular for log monitoring and analysis.
