Collect the right logs, for defined scenarios.
A SIEM generates value when sources are reliable, use cases respond to real risks and alerts trigger a process. SOAR adds orchestration and automations, but requires quality data, permissions, and error handling.

- audit of executions and measurement of benefit.
Continuous improvement
NESQ maintains a catalog of use cases with objective, sources, logic, owner, severity and tests. Incidents, threat hunting, Vulnerability Assessment and Red Teams fuel new rules. Metrics include coverage, quality, false positives, and time saved, not just event volume.
