Abstract: In today's rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape, incident response plays a crucial role in safeguarding organizations against cyber attacks. Live logs, real-time records of system activities, have emerged as essential tools for incident response teams to detect and respond promptly to security incidents. However, archive log search speed is often insufficient for mitigating cyber attacks in a timely manner. This research paper explores the significance of live logs in incident response and the challenges associated with maintaining sufficient log retention to effectively mitigate cyber attacks. The paper also examines real-world case studies, recommendations, regulations, and RFP requirements related to live log retention. Additionally, it delves into the benefits of live log monitoring and emphasizes the importance of adhering to industry best practices to strengthen an organization's cybersecurity defense.
