Event Correlation

Event correlation is a process used by IT systems and security teams to identify connections between multiple alerts or incidents. When several events occur—such as system errors, login failures, or security alerts—correlation analyzes these to determine if they are related, helping to uncover the root cause or ongoing issues. Instead of reacting to each event separately, correlation provides a clearer picture by grouping related events, enabling quicker problem resolution and better system management. It’s like connecting the dots to see the bigger picture behind individual occurrences.
