Risk Management

Risk management is an integral component of Graylog’s suite of security features, critical for the early detection, assessment, and mitigation of potential threats. It encompasses a comprehensive set of tools designed to elevate an organization’s ability to preemptively manage risk effectively.

Risk Management

How It Works:

Graylog’s risk management functions as a multi-layered safeguard against internal and external threats. The watchlist indicator constantly monitors for predefined or anomalous patterns, flagging any matches for immediate attention. Users can utilize the field actions menu to drill down on the flagged data, perform inline actions, and quickly understand the scope of a threat.

Risk Scoring in Graylog

Integrating threat intel lookups, Graylog correlates logged events against a vast array of threat intelligence sources, enriching logs with actionable insights. This helps in identifying if observed anomalies are known threats, saving valuable time in TDIR (threat detection, investigation, and response)

Risk scoring assigns a numerical value to data messages based on the likelihood and potential impact of a threat, allowing security teams to prioritize and respond to the most critical alerts first. This scoring system is essential for efficient risk management, ensuring resources are focused where needed most. With Graylog’s risk management, organizations can proactively navigate the complexities of security and threat landscapes, ensuring resilience and continuity.
