Hey there! As I journey through the Foundations of Cybersecurity course, I'm thrilled to share the exciting world of essential tools used to protect and monitor systems. Today, I had a blast exploring Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, which are super important for logging, analyzing, and monitoring security data.

I got to know two awesome SIEM tools:

1. Splunk: It's like a superhero for analyzing an organization’s log data, providing powerful insights to help security teams respond to threats like champs.

2. Google Chronicle: This cloud-native SIEM tool is all about agility and seamless integration with other Google services, making data collection and analysis a breeze.

But wait, there's more! I also dived into other cool security tools besides SIEM tools like playbooks and network protocol analyzers. Playbooks are like detailed guides for incident response, and today I learned about two types:

- Chain of Custody Playbook: This is about maintaining evidence integrity during an investigation.

- Protecting and Preserving Evidence Playbook: Crucial guidelines for safeguarding evidence in legal and investigative processes.

Exploring these tools has opened my eyes to the practical side of cybersecurity and the importance of using the right tools to keep things secure. I can't wait to keep learning and growing as I progress in the course!
