Not all security information and event management (SIEM) use cases are equally important. Depending on the nature of your business, some will be more useful than others. How to know which ones are crucial for your business? Read on to find out.

It is crucial to invest in cyber security due to state of cybersecurity today. Before making any decisions concerning the security posture of your business, you must consider the Return on Security Investment. In this article, we took a closer look at what ROSI is and how it is calculated.

Data is regarded as the most valuable asset in today’s business world. The examples of critical data include e-commerce data, e-banking data, and Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Therefore, data security is, and data breaches have become an international concern for individuals as well as organizations. The role of the Cybersecurity Risk Management Framework (RMF) in data security is indispensable.

Today, we are excited to announce that Perched, a training and consulting company focused on security analytics, threat hunting and security operations, has joined forces with Elastic. The Perched team will give Elastic's users training and consulting services for building advanced cybersecurity solutions using the Elastic Stack, including practitioner-level expertise for deploying, managing, and operating Elastic SIEM and Elastic's proposed acquisition of Endgame.

Digital transformation is creating rapidly growing volumes of data, leading to new vulnerabilities and attack vectors. At the same time, adversaries are growing increasingly more sophisticated – consider the recent Capital One breach, or the Equifax breach. This combination of factors means SOCs are struggling to fulfill their critical mission of identifying and eliminating threats.

Nowadays, a lot of attention is being paid on the SOAR vs. SIEM debate. To get the most benefit from your security data, it is vital to understand the difference between these essential cybersecurity tools. Although SOAR and SIEM have several components in common, we cannot use these tools interchangeably as they are different in nature.

In our recent article, we outlined the benefits of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, and why it is a must-have for every organization that operates in today’s cyberspace. It remains the best solution that proactively targets proliferating security threats, though SIEM also brings a number of risks and challenges. In this blog, we address these challenges and explain how they can be overcome by opting for SIEM-as-a-Service instead of on-premises or other options.

Identities are easy to fake, but not actions. Closely monitoring the behavior of a person can reveal a lot about their true intentions. Similarly, keeping a close watch on a machine’s activities can expose potential security problems. Blending security information and event management (SIEM) with user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) can bring numerous users and devices belonging to an enterprise under surveillance.

SIEM security that is equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and user behavior analytics can deal with internal threats. AI capabilities in SIEM help security professionals to automate tasks that are otherwise manual and repetitive. Doing so can also help to swiftly detect threats and suspicious activities in network traffic and event logs.

Not investing in Security Incident and Event Management solutions means you’re missing out on significant business benefits. SIEM detects and responds to security incidents in real time, which reduces the risk of noncompliance. It also helps realize greater value across all underlying security technology and systems. Reporting with SIEM is more comprehensive and less time-intensive, helping to reduce capital and operational costs through consolidation.
