Provide audit record reduction and report generation to support on-demand analysis and reporting.

"Audit record reduction" is a process that takes collected audit records (e.g. computer logs) and organizes them in a manner that is more meaningful to someone reviewing them. This can be accomplished by using a SIEM that filters system logs based on important criteria such as their event type or code. A person may only want to review security-related logs, this can be accomplished using the filtering capabilities of a SIEM to filter out warning or information message logs so that only security-related logs are visible to the reviewer. Using a SIEM, you can create dashboards that display useful security event information, automated alerts and reports allowing you to correlate events occurring throughout your organization to identify security incidents.

Configure a security information and event management (SIEM) system that filters system logs (audit record reduction) from your Syslog server to create reports (report generation) that allow you to create dashboards with relevant information that can be reviewed at any time to identify security incidents (on-demand analysis).
