CRISC · Question #484

Which of the following is BEST used to aggregate data from multiple systems to identify abnormal behavior?

The correct answer is D. SIEM systems. SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems are designed to aggregate and analyze security data from various sources to detect anomalous behavior.

Why each option

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems are designed to aggregate and analyze security data from various sources to detect anomalous behavior.

ACyber threat intelligence

Cyber threat intelligence provides context about threats but does not aggregate operational data from internal systems for real-time anomaly detection.

BAnti-malware software

Anti-malware software primarily detects and removes malicious software on individual endpoints, not aggregates data from multiple systems for behavioral analysis.

CEndpoint detection and response (EDR)

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) focuses on monitoring and responding to threats at the endpoint level, offering deeper visibility into individual systems but not the broad aggregation and correlation across multiple diverse systems as SIEM does.

DSIEM systemsCorrect

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems are specifically engineered to collect, aggregate, normalize, and analyze log data and events from diverse sources across an IT environment. This centralized analysis capability allows SIEMs to correlate seemingly unrelated events to identify patterns indicative of abnormal or malicious behavior that individual systems might miss.
