1. Log the right events
- Authentication and access to sensitive data.
- Administrative and privileged actions.
- Changes and security events.
2. Centralise and retain
Aggregate logs (SIEM), synchronise time, and retain per your obligations — e.g., CERT-In’s 180 days stored in India.
3. Monitor and alert
Automated review and alerting turn logs into timely detection — a requirement in PCI DSS v4.0.1 and most frameworks.
How CyberSigma helps
We design your logging and monitoring to meet framework requirements and to actually detect attacks.
