What do parsed data from received logs allow FortiSIEM to standardize?

Parsed data from received logs enables FortiSIEM to standardize structured information. Standardization in this context refers to the process of converting the varied formats and layouts of incoming log data into a consistent structure that can be easily analyzed, compared, and reported on.

When FortiSIEM parses log data, it extracts key fields and organizes them into a coherent structure, allowing it to effectively correlate and analyze data from different sources. This structured information is crucial for tasks such as threat detection, compliance reporting, and performance monitoring, as it allows for efficient querying and data manipulation.

Conversely, unstructured information, which lacks a predefined format or structure, would not benefit from the same level of standardization when parsed. While some unstructured data can be useful in security contexts, the primary strength of FortiSIEM lies in its ability to transform received logs into a standardized, structured format that simplifies and enhances security operations.
