Description: Event log analysis refers to the systematic examination of logs generated by computer systems, applications, and network devices to identify suspicious or unusual activities. These logs, which may include information about access, errors, transactions, and configuration changes, are fundamental to cybersecurity. By analyzing this data, cybersecurity professionals can detect patterns indicating intrusion attempts, malware, or anomalous behaviors that could compromise system integrity. This process not only helps identify threats in real-time but also allows for post-incident audits to understand the scope of an incident and improve defenses. The implementation of automated analysis tools, especially those utilizing artificial intelligence, has revolutionized this field, enabling faster and more accurate detection of anomalies. In an environment where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, event log analysis has become an essential practice for maintaining the security and resilience of digital infrastructures.
