  • Why Rule-Based Log Correlation Is Almost a Good Idea (Part 8)

    Updated: 2012-03-07 01:11:08
    You bought a static rule-based correlation and you want to get the most out of it, or are you planning on getting and deploying one?

The main use case for correlation is real-time incident management, so you need a 24x7x365 team of forensics experts to validate and follow-up on alerts - in real time. No need to have real-time correlation if you only have a 9-5 operation... If an alarm goes on at 3.a.m., do you have the skilled staff to act on it? If the answer is no, can you afford such a team? If you can't afford a 24x7 staff of experts, ask yourself if correlation is really the most appropriate effort for you.read more
