Project Overview
This assessment evaluated whether security-relevant activity was being logged, monitored, and acted upon effectively. The objective was to determine if an incident could be detected early, investigated accurately, and responded to without chaos or guesswork.
Challenges
1
Security logs scattered across systems with no central visibility
2
Critical events logged but never actively reviewed
3
Lack of defined alert thresholds or response ownership
4
Gaps between detection capability and incident response plans
5
Overconfidence in tooling without validation of real coverage
Solutions
1
Reviewed log sources across infrastructure, cloud, and applications
2
Identified blind spots in authentication, network, and system activity
3
Assessed alerting logic for signal quality vs. noise
4
Mapped detection capability to realistic incident scenarios
5
Provided prioritized recommendations to improve visibility and readiness
Outcome
The organization gained clearer insight into what could be detected, what could not, and how quickly incidents could be acted upon—turning logging from passive data collection into actionable security intelligence.
