Security logs are vital for monitoring and analyzing the security posture of an organization. Here are some common types of security logs:
1. **Perimeter Device Logs**: These are generated by firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS systems, and other devices that monitor and regulate traffic to and from the network.
2. **Windows Event Logs**: These logs capture events from Windows operating systems, including login attempts, system changes, and application errors.
3. **Endpoint Logs**: These are collected from endpoint devices, such as computers and mobile devices, providing insights into user activities and potential security threats.
4. **Application Logs**: Generated by software applications, these logs track user interactions, errors, and other significant events.
5. **Proxy Logs**: These logs record web traffic that passes through proxy servers, helping to monitor and control internet usage.
6. **IoT Logs**: Collected from Internet of Things (IoT) devices, these logs assist in monitoring and securing connected devices.
These logs are essential for detecting and responding to security incidents, ensuring compliance, and maintaining a secure IT environment.
