Security Logging and Monitoring Assessment: Can You Detect an Attack? — 日本企業向けガイド

Security logging and monitoring assessment evaluates whether your organisation would detect a real attack in progress. Coverage assessment asks: are all critical systems generating security logs? Are authentication events, access control decisions, configuration changes, and error conditions logged? Collection and retention asks: are logs collected centrally, stored securely, and retained long enough for investigation? Alerting asks: do critical events generate alerts? Are alerts tuned to reduce false positives without missing real attacks? Detection capability asks: would your monitoring detect the specific attack techniques relevant to your environment? Response asks: when an alert fires, what happens? Is there a defined process, and does the team follow it? The most common gap: organisations log events but don't monitor them — logs exist but nobody watches.
