71% of desktops are running Windows OS. Chances are, your organization is using it, or at least one of the many Microsoft applications. Yet, too many organizations are not tracking the events in their Windows OS or applications, despite its usefulness for security, compliance, and troubleshooting.

Event logs provide detailed information about system events, application errors, and security issues. By ingesting and examining these logs, SOC teams gain a complete view of their ecosystem. Not ingesting Windows Event Logs, or doing so in a fragmented manner, can hamper effective threat hunting and correlations.

This increases the risk of breaches, as attackers can operate undetected for extended periods.
