Optimize IT security & simplify compliance with SIEM tools
Security threats continue to be more sophisticated and advanced with each day, with the majority often going completely undetected. Organizations are usually scrambling to keep up and implement new security controls to protect themselves, which adds a new layer of
complexity.
Situation
Not everyone’s process needs are the same. These differences drive out different categories and niches within the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) market space. Understand your own business’s processes and the unique technical and functional requirements that accompany them. Use your own set of requirements to determine the SIEM solution that best fits your organization.
Complication
- With the rise of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and insider attacks, it becomes extremely difficult for security staff to detect all the risks.
- Many IT and IT Security staff are already stretched thin by keeping track of many different security technologies that already exist.
Anyone looking to purchase a SIEM product must understand what they want and need from this technology. Many are quick to get any SIEM product and assume that it will satisfy their requirements, while it may not be the correct choice for them.
Others may find greater value in the capabilities of another security technology rather than a SIEM. This can also go beyond what your peers at similar organizations are doing. As each company has its own unique processes and internal controls, their requirements become very specific and can differ widely from that of others in the same industry.
