What is Event Correlation?

Event correlation is a process that analyzes and correlates several events or log entries from different sources to identify patterns, connections, and potential security problems. It involved collecting and consolidating event data from various systems, applications, and network devices, using correlation rules and algorithms to find significant relationships or abnormalities. By giving security analysts a comprehensive understanding of events and their effects on the overall security posture, event correlation enhances their ability to recognize and respond to security threats and operational problems.
