An appropriate log is generated from the use of the network to enable the detection of actions relevant to cyber security.
The normal state of network traffic (traffic volumes, protocols, and connections) is known. In order to detect anomalies, there is a procedure for detecting events that are different from the normal state of network traffic (for example, anomalous connections or their attempts).
System logs often contain a wealth of information, much of which is irrelevant to security monitoring. In order to identify events relevant to security monitoring, consideration should be given to automatically copying appropriate message types to another log or to using appropriate utilities or audit tools to review and resolve files.
