A security analyst is investigating a potential breach. The SIEM shows a single alert for a suspicious login, but the analyst suspects the attacker moved laterally across multiple systems. What should the analyst do to confirm this?

Review correlated events across all relevant log sources

Check the SIEM's reporting schedule

Disable the alert to reduce noise

Reconfigure the log source for the firewall

Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of a SIEM platform?

To manage user identities and enforce access control policies across applications

To store encrypted backups of all organizational data for disaster recovery purposes

To block malicious traffic in real time by enforcing security policies at the network perimeter

To collect, normalize, correlate, and analyze log data from multiple sources to provide security monitoring and reporting

A security operations center (SOC) is using a SIEM to monitor for suspicious activity. The team wants to ensure that when a correlation rule fires, the appropriate analyst is notified immediately and the incident is tracked until resolution. Which SIEM feature set should the team utilize?
