\"You<\/p>\n

We here at Solutions Review tout the effectiveness and the necessity<\/a> of SIEM solutions. We stand by those statements wholeheartedly. Given how the cybersecurity paradigm continues to shift from a prevention-based model to a detection and response based model, we can back up our claims.<\/span><\/p>\n

\t\t\t

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

SIEM provides, among other capabilities, threat intelligence, threat detection, threat remediation, log management, security event alerting, and compliance reporting. These capabilities prove essential when dealing with modern threats designed to evade preventative detection<\/a> and dwell for months if not years on the enterprise network. <\/span><\/p>\n

While SIEM once only appealed to the largest enterprises for its compliance tools, businesses of all sizes need what SIEM can offer. SIEM does come with its own challenges, sure. But these SIEM issues often reveal themselves as little more than paper tigers. Here\u2019s why.<\/span><\/p>\n

SIEM Issues: An Outline of Arguments<\/b><\/h3>\n

SIEM solutions carry the connotation of being complex tools in the cybersecurity arsenal. <\/span><\/p>\n

While no InfoSec solution fits the definition of \u201cset-it-and-forget-it,\u201d SIEM can require more involved maintenance and reexamination than other solutions. Its threat detection can depend on both a continual threat intelligence feed and regular detection parameter updates by your IT security team. <\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, SIEM may need an investment of time and resources beyond the usual patching of other cybersecurity solutions to function optimally. While well worth it, it can also cause exhaustion among your InfoSec professionals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, SIEM\u2019s alerting functions can bombard your security operations center with potential threat alerts, both legitimate and false positive. Solution providers offer contextualization<\/a> and stronger correlation to combat this issue, but it can still cost enterprises some resources to track down leads, especially if following the leads results in a dead end. <\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, deploying SIEM itself can pose its own set of challenges. Some enterprises report SIEM as being too complex for their teams or proving overwhelming in its scope.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crucially, as stated before these SIEM issues may not be actual size… \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You Can Solve SIEM Issues On Your Own<\/b> \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

We want to stress <\/span>none of the potential SIEM issues described above are insurmountable<\/span><\/i>. In fact, with the right investment and training, your IT security team should prove more than capable of handling these problems efficiently. <\/span><\/p>\n

Often the perception itself causes the SIEM issues, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Enterprises hear about the complexity of SIEM, then refuses to invest the time or resources into selecting and deploying it properly, thus making it much harder to deploy and maintain \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, some enterprises choose SIEM to solve a particular problem without considering how SIEM\u2019s other features might integrate with the other cybersecurity platforms. This unthinking deployment obviously causes more challenges down the road; if you select a solution without understanding why it works, then you create more pain for your business long term. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, with the right attitude and tactics, you can transform SIEM issues into easy usage. <\/span><\/p>\n
