Identity management logs that contain information about authentication and access events are typically the best suited for being sent to a security information and event management (SIEM) solution. These logs can provide valuable insights into user activity and can help organizations to identify potential security threats.
Examples of identity management logs that can be sent to a SIEM solution include:
1. Authentication logs: These logs contain information about user login and logout events, including the time, date, and location of each event, as well as the user’s identity and the result of the authentication (e.g. successful, failed, or blocked).
2. Access logs: These logs contain information about user access to sensitive systems and data, including the time, date, and location of each access event, as well as the user’s identity and the resources that were accessed.
3. Privileged access logs: These logs contain information about privileged user access to sensitive systems and data, including the time, date, and location of each access event, as well as the user’s identity and the resources that were accessed.
By sending these types of identity management logs to a SIEM solution, organizations can gain a better understanding of user activity and can more easily identify potential security threats. This can help organizations to improve their overall security posture and reduce the likelihood of security breaches or other security incidents.
