Define Detection Response Pipeline
- Detection-response pipeline means ingesting logs, generating alerts for anomalies, then notifying the team to respond.
- Keep this process simple but flexible to scale with added sources and alerts.
Use Messaging for Alert Delivery
- Deliver alerts to messaging platforms like Slack for easy access on mobile.
- This enables quicker first response without needing to access SIEM directly, helpful for remote teams.
Prioritize Log Sources Strategically

- Use compliance requirements to guide prioritization of applications to focus on.
