Explanation
According to the CHFI v11 objectives related to Network Forensics, Incident Detection, and SOC Operations, the primary technology used by a Security Operations Center (SOC) to monitor, correlate, and analyze security events in real time is a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. A SIEM system centrally collects logs and events from multiple sources such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, servers, endpoints, applications, authentication systems, and network devices. It then performs real-time correlation, normalization, alerting, and analysis to identify suspicious patterns such as brute-force attacks, lateral movement, malware activity, data exfiltration attempts, and insider threats. CHFI v11 emphasizes SIEM solutions as a core component for incident detection, investigation, and evidence correlation within SOC environments.
