Description: Event filtering is a critical process in the field of cybersecurity that involves the selective selection and processing of security events. This process allows security analysts to identify, prioritize, and respond to potential incidents more efficiently. Through filtering, irrelevant or low-risk events can be eliminated, thereby concentrating resources on those that truly require attention. This approach not only enhances operational effectiveness but also optimizes the use of analysis and monitoring tools, such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. Event filtering is based on predefined rules and criteria that determine which events are significant and which can be discarded. This includes assessing the severity, the source of the event, and its context within the organization’s security infrastructure. In an environment where the amount of data generated is overwhelming, event filtering becomes an essential tool for maintaining the security and integrity of information systems.
