SY0-701 - Security Operations - Section 4.4

Explain security alerting and monitoring concepts and tools.

Describe how a SIEM centralises log aggregation and correlation to generate security alerts, and explain how SNMP and scanning tools contribute to continuous visibility across the environment. Distinguish between reactive alerting on known signatures and proactive monitoring approaches, recognising that effective alerting requires tuning to reduce false positives without suppressing genuine threats.
