What solution should an organization implement to centralize its security event logs and automate analysis?

Implementing a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution allows an organization to centralize its security event logs and automate the analysis of those logs. SIEM systems collect and aggregate log data from various sources within the organization, such as servers, network devices, and applications. By consolidating this data, SIEM solutions provide a comprehensive view of security events, making it easier to identify suspicious activities, detect threats, and respond to incidents in a timely manner.

Additionally, SIEM solutions come equipped with tools for analyzing the collected data, which allows for automation in the identification of patterns and anomalies that may indicate security breaches. This enhances the organization's ability to respond to incidents effectively by improving the alerting mechanism and providing insights into security incidents as they evolve.

The other solutions—File Integrity Monitoring, Intrusion Detection Systems, and Data Loss Prevention—serve specific functions in the cybersecurity framework but do not offer the same centralized logging and automated analysis capabilities that a SIEM does. File Integrity Monitoring focuses on changes to files and directories, IDS identifies potential threats based on traffic patterns, and DLP protects sensitive information from being misused or leaked. While these tools are valuable, they do not provide the comprehensive log management and automation features that a SIEM solution offers
