Event logs register information about software and hardware events that occur in a system, and they are a key weapon in the arsenal of computer security teams. Windows Server has offered Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) for aggregating system event logs from disparate systems to a central event log server for several versions now.
High end security information and event management (SIEM) or security, orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) systems are the ideal in an enterprise environment because of their ability to not only collect and correlate log event data, but also to add context, perform deep analysis, and even to initiate incident response.
