2.5 Design a log analysis solution.

2.5 Design a log analysis solution. - In this episode, we explore the crucial skills and knowledge required to master log analysis for the AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 exam. Listeners will learn how AWS Engineers design scalable log analysis solutions using key services like Amazon Athena, CloudWatch Logs Insights, and OpenSearch, transforming vast amounts of raw data into actionable security intelligence. We discuss the importance of understanding log formats and componentssuch as CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, and Route 53 DNS logswhich is essential for effective threat detection, forensics, and compliance reporting. The episode covers advanced techniques in identifying anomalies and known threats by behavioral pattern recognition, including the use of machine learning, metric filters, and correlation across multiple log sources. We also delve into the skills of normalizing, parsing, and correlating logs, turning siloed data into unified intelligence for enhanced threat hunting and incident response. By mastering these tools and processes, engineers can proactively uncover hidden attacks, ensure compliance, and build a data-driven security operations center in cloud environments.
