About this template
This OKR is centered on improving the potency of SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) event management and correlation. It aims to bolster the security landscape of a firm. Objectively it targets to mitigate risks linked with potential security incidents and ensure robustness of the infrastructure.
The first objective under this OKR calls for building a substantial training regime centered on SIEM event correlation for the security staff of the organization. This includes scheduling training sessions for the staff, pinpointing relevant SIEM event correlation training curriculums and ensuring that at least 80% of the security staff attends these training sessions.
The second objective emphasizes increasing the capability of detecting and alerting for correlated events by 35%. It stresses on improving the existing detection and alerting techniques and implementing sophisticated correlation algorithms. It also caters to improving the alert system for linked event notifications.
The final objective is targeted at reducing false positive alerts by 30% through enhanced correlation rules. This objective pushes for formulating more concentrated correlation rules and implementing them successfully. Also, it encourages an inclusive review of the existing alert correlation rules to gauge their effectiveness.
