# Implementing Zero Trust Logging Monitoring

## Overview

Implement comprehensive logging and monitoring for zero trust environments including SIEM integration and anomaly detection.

## Prerequisites

| Tool / Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| `splunk` | Security tooling |
| `elastic-siem` | Security tooling |
| `microsoft-sentinel` | Security tooling |
| Isolated lab environment for testing | Environment requirement |
| Authorization and signed Rules of Engagement (RoE) | Environment requirement |
| Relevant target samples or systems acquired through authorized channels | Environment requirement |

## Quick Reference

```bash
# Initialize working environment
mkdir -p /tmp/implementing-zero-trust-logging-monitoring/{output,logs,artifacts}

# Execute primary analysis with splunk
echo "[*] Running Implementing Zero Trust Logging Monitoring with splunk..."

# Validate results with elastic-siem
echo "[*] Cross-validating with elastic-siem..."

# Generate summary report
cat /tmp/implementing-zero-trust-logging-monitoring/output/report.json
```

## Workflow

### Step 1: Preparation and Reconnaissance

```bash
# Identify target and gather initial intelligence
file ./target_sample
splunk --version 2>/dev/null || echo "Install splunk"

# Set up working directory
mkdir -p /tmp/implementing-zero-trust-logging-monitoring/{output,logs,artifacts}
```

### Step 2: Primary Analysis

```bash
# Execute primary analysis with splunk
# Refer to Quick Reference above for detailed commands
echo "[*] Running Implementing Zero Trust Logging Monitoring with splunk..."

# Log all operations
script -q /tmp/implementing-zero-trust-logging-monitoring/logs/session.log
```

### Step 3: Deep Investigation

```bash
# Apply elastic-siem for secondary analysis
echo "[*] Deep investigation with elastic-siem..."

# Cross-reference findings
diff /tmp/implementing-zero-trust-logging-monitoring/output/primary.json /tmp/implementing-zero-trust-logging-monitoring/output/secondary.json
```

### Step 4: Documentation and Reporting

```bash
# Generate structured findings report
cat <<'EOF' > /tmp/implementing-zero-trust-logging-monitoring/output/report.json
{
  "technique": "implementing-zero-trust-logging-monitoring",
  "domain": "zero-trust",
  "tools_used": ["splunk", "elastic-siem"],
  "findings": [],
  "recommendations": []
}
EOF
```

## Detection

```yaml

|---|---|---|
| Zero Trust Logging Monitoring Detection | windows/authentication | Sigma rule (medium) |
| ATT&CK Coverage | MITRE ATT&CK | T1562.002 |

## Verification

- [ ] Environment and tools verified and operational
- [ ] Target samples acquired through authorized channels
- [ ] Primary analysis completed with findings documented
- [ ] Secondary validation performed with independent tooling
- [ ] All artifacts preserved in structured output directory
- [ ] Detection opportunities documented for blue team
