Event Correlation

Uncover connections between events to bolster security and resilience

In complex IT environments, it can be difficult to understand how events and incidents relate to each other. That opens your organization up to inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities. Event correlation with OpenSearch’s built-in Security Analytics solution accesses time-series data across different apps to help you understand relationships and resolve issues.

Define and configure detectors that correlate events across different log types.

Set up alerts to receive notifications according to custom rule criteria.

Visualize and identify the log type, severity, timing, and information associated with correlated events.

Eliminate disruptions and maintain efficiency

Break down data siloes for greater visibility at scale and minimize manual investigations to speed up incident response and resolution

OpenSearch Security Analytics’ correlation engine unites and compares findings from different log types to help you triangulate issues so you can eliminate disruptions and maintain operational efficiency.

Informed decision-making

OpenSearch delivers the insights and contextual information you need to make data-driven decisions, optimize resource allocation, and improve strategic planning.

Improved operational efficiency

Pinpoint the relationships between events to optimize your troubleshooting process and reduce the time and resources you devote to manual investigations.

Enhanced predictive capabilities

By understanding the patterns and dependencies between seemingly separate events, you can predict and address potential issues proactively to improve operational resilience.

Faster incident resolution

Rapidly triangulate the root causes of incidents to resolve problems more quickly and reduce their impact on business operations and customer experience.

Scalability and future-proofing

Scalable and flexible architecture expands your anomaly detection capabilities seamlessly as data volume grows alongside infrastructure complexity.

Explore event correlation with OpenSearch Security Analytics

With a single, highly configurable place to identify and observe events across widely dispersed datasets, you can implement a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that matches your organization’s scale and specifications. OpenSearch Security Analytics saves you the cost and effort of cloning data in multiple places to deliver greater visibility, proactive remediation, and long-term retention of security event data.
