A managed SIEM solution takes away all headaches and ensures a company gets the full value from their important investment. A properly managed SIEM solution will keep a watchful eye on all data points, look for suspicious activity, provide quick visibility and deliver fast responses to ensure timely alerts. By monitoring network traffic and threat points, a managed SIEM solution can also aggregate all logs into one source to detect and flag any type of compromise or suspicious activity, such as malware or multiple failed login attempts. What’s more, SIEM can help companies meet compliance requirements by logging events and enabling the creation of reports, which can be used to support audits and forensic analysis.

Brings data together from different systems throughout a customer’s IT environment into a centralized repository so that it can be analyzed and cross-referenced to provide a holistic picture of what’s happening on the network.

Provides crucial context to make sense of data and understand how multiple seemingly unrelated security events are indicative of specific types of attacks.

Allows tasks to run repeatedly to save valuable time and accelerate response efforts, which is crucial when an attack is underway.

Operators and engineers must have continuing education on your technologies, threats, vulnerabilities, and how they are exploited to establish the actual residual risk for each threat/vulnerability pair.

Extends the capability of existing tools to seamlessly “talk” with one another and ensure the right information gets to the right systems and people at the right time.

Alerts from the technology need to be vetted against current vulnerabilities and have the risk rated appropriately for the correct response. Security Incidents with HIGH risk should execute the Incident Response Plan, vs. low risk incidents may just open a ticket.

“Security Incidents” with high risk immediately execute a clients incident response plan with clear plans of action and assistance provided for remediation.
