Network Event Correlation (NET-007-R006) - NET-007

Requirement Details & Guidance

NET-007-R006 · NET-007

Why This Requirement Exists

Supports network telemetry, traffic visibility, anomaly detection, performance, correlation and alert management by ensuring that network event correlation is governed and implemented consistently, reducing unauthorized access, network attack exposure, service disruption, and security control gaps.

Implementation Guidance

Document the required control objective and scope; assign an accountable owner; define approved standards and configurations; implement the control across applicable network environments; integrate it with monitoring and change management; retain evidence; and review effectiveness periodically. For network event correlation, correlate network events with related security telemetry to identify meaningful activity.
