To effectively trace unauthorized activities within TechTonic's Windows-based server farm, the best strategy is:
* Centralized Logging:
* Aggregation: Collect all system logs in a centralized logging server. This ensures that all log data is stored in one place, making it easier to manage and analyze.
* Correlation: Correlate logs from different sources to identify patterns and anomalies that might indicate unauthorized activities.
* Pattern-Detection Algorithms:
* Automated Analysis: Use algorithms to automatically detect patterns that are indicative of security breaches. This can include machine learning models trained to recognize signs of intrusion.
* Real-Time Alerts: Set up real-time alerts for suspicious activities identified by the pattern-detection algorithms, enabling swift responses to potential threats.
