Leveraging event correlation

Leveraging event correlation

- [Instructor] Across a complex network, there may be events happening that might be related to the same threat. In this segment, we'll learn how event correlation along with next generation detection can stop threats on the network. Next generation detection capabilities include data mining algorithms which can detect patterns that match characteristics of malicious activity. Once identified, this triggers actions to stop threats on the network. What's an even more powerful option is to couple this capability with event correlation. Event correlation is where multiple events are analyzed to identify patterns and correlations among the events on a single host or a complex system. Working with next generation detection capabilities systems can independently monitor and secure the network even after normal business hours. For example, you might see the following on your dashboard. Where the investigation priority score…
