Enhanced Security Monitoring & Evidence Collection System

Abstract

This report details the deployment of an Enhanced Security Monitoring & Evidence Collection System to detect unauthorized login attempts and support forensic investigations. The system integrates key functionalities such as monitoring Windows event logs to identify suspicious activities, capturing memory dumps to preserve volatile data, and extracting file hashes to analyze potentially malicious files. The development process incorporates specialized tools like ProcDump for system process analysis, Volatility for memory forensics, and WinPmem for memory acquisition, ensuring thorough data collection and analysis. These tools contribute to a systematic and effective threat analysis workflow. By automating security monitoring and evidence collection, this system addresses the complexities of modern IT environments and enhances the organization’s ability to respond to cyber threats. Its deployment significantly strengthens defenses, streamlines forensic investigations, and supports regulatory compliance, promoting a secure and efficient IT infrastructure.
