Correlation searches in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) are a critical component of Security Operations Center (SOC) workflows, designed to detect threats by analyzing security data from multiple sources.
Primary Purpose of Correlation Searches:
Identify threats and anomalies: They detect patterns and suspicious activity by correlating logs, alerts, and events from different sources.
Automate security monitoring: By continuously running searches on ingested data, correlation searches help reduce manual efforts for SOC analysts.
Generate notable events: When a correlation search identifies a security risk, it creates a notable event in Splunk ES for investigation.
Trigger security automation: In combination with Splunk SOAR, correlation searches can initiate automated response actions, such as isolating endpoints or blocking malicious IPs.
Since correlation searches analyze relationships and patterns across multiple data sources to detect security threats, the correct answer is B. To identify patterns and relationships between multiple data sources.
