What is logging?
Logging is the practice of storing data about actions performed within an IT system. Typical examples include understanding why an application stopped working or determining whether someone successfully logged into a system.
Centralized logging, on the other hand, focuses on collecting logs in a single location to analyze events and activities across systems, applications, networks, and cloud services. Every time a user logs in, a service fails, or a configuration changes, this activity can be recorded as a log event.
Centralized logs provide valuable insight into what has actually happened across an environment and across log sources, both in near real time and retrospectively. They are used for troubleshooting, performance analysis, audits, regulatory compliance, and, most importantly, for detecting and responding to security incidents.
Sicra and logging
Logging is a core part of Sicra’s work with security monitoring, incident response, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Through Sicra SOC MDR powered by Arctic Wolf, logs are collected and analyzed from endpoints, networks, identity services, cloud platforms, and applications to identify suspicious activity and advanced attacks.
Sicra also helps organizations establish appropriate logging levels, ensure log integrity, and use logging as a foundation for security audits, risk assessments, and compliance efforts, including NIS2 and ISO 27001, and the implementation, operation, and troubleshooting of the centralized logging platforms Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise.
