OpenSOC

OpenSOC combines a range of open source big data technologies to provide a centralized tool designed for effective security monitoring and analysis.

It offers features for log aggregation, full packet capture indexing, storage, advanced behavioral analytics, and data enrichment. Additionally, it applies the latest threat intelligence information to security telemetry, all within a single platform. OpenSOC can be categorized into four key areas: 1. A mechanism to capture, store, and normalize any type of security telemetry at extremely high rates. 2. Given that security telemetry is generated continuously, there must be an efficient method for ingesting this data at high speeds and directing it to various processing units for advanced computation and analytics. 3. Real-time processing and application of enrichments such as threat intelligence, geolocation, and DNS information to the telemetry being collected.

The immediate application of this information to incoming telemetry enhances context and situational awareness. It also provides critical details about who is involved and where the events are taking place, which is essential for effective investigation. Efficient information storage is based on how the information will be utilized: Logs and telemetry are organized in a way that allows for efficient querying and retrieval.
