Explanation
Juniper Secure Analytics (JSA) is a security information and event management (SIEM) system that consolidates, analyzes, and manages surveillance data from network devices, endpoints, and applications1 JSA uses two features to configure alerts based on certain criteria: building blocks and events2 Building blocks are reusable components that define common characteristics of network activity, such as IP addresses, ports, protocols, usernames, or threat categories. Building blocks can be used to create custom rules, searches, reports, and filters that can trigger alerts when certain conditions are met2 Events are records of network activity that are collected and normalized by JSA. Events can be classified into different categories, such as offenses, flows, logs, or anomalies. Events can also be correlated with other data sources, such as vulnerability scanners, threat intelligence feeds, or asset databases, to provide more context and insight. Events can trigger alerts when they match predefined or custom rules that specify the severity, frequency, or duration of the activity2 References: 1: JSA Series Secure Analytics - Juniper Networks 2: Juniper Secure Analytics Users Guide
