Detection notes an auditor can follow
A defensible detection record connects the rule, its data, a test, an event, and the action taken. Keep that chain readable without requiring someone to reconstruct it from unrelated screenshots.
Investigations
A defensible detection record connects the rule, its data, a test, an event, and the action taken. Keep that chain readable without requiring someone to reconstruct it from unrelated screenshots.
The order shown by two log systems may reflect clock settings, time zones, or ingestion delay rather than the true event sequence. Preserve those distinctions while building a timeline.
A useful log source answers a specific incident question. Start with identities, affected services, and the actions you need to reconstruct, then preserve the records with their time context.
