Can an Affordable SIEM Get You Compliant?

SIEMs Need to Be Added to Every Serious Companies Security?

Due to increasing cyber security regulations and pressure by business partners, an increasing number of companies need to add a SIEM (Security Information and Event Manager) to their security. The goal is collection, correlation and analysis of security information and events from all of your security solutions, servers, workstations and other network devices for the purposes of threat alerts and forensic analysis.

Most small and medium sized companies are finding a void in their security around security monitoring, alerting, forensics and reporting. Firewall log monitoring alone is not sufficient.

Typical motivators to acquire SIEM log monitoring are:

• To be compliant with security regulations such as HIPAA, PCI, SOX, banking and financial etc.
• Partners, suppliers or customers that require that they prove or attest to being security compliant
• Protecting important digital assets like financial data, Intellectual property, customer private data (health, financial, SS#, etc) with advanced security.

So, What’s the Problem?

Three things are issues for businesses:

1. The biggest problem is that most small to mid-size companies don’t have a SIEM and don’t understand them
2. SIEMs are complex and require ongoing monitoring and adjustments. Most companies do not have the skill set or resources with time to do this justice.
3. Lastly, Until recently, companies could not afford them. So, the search for affordable SIEM begins.

Most of these companies (68%) believe that outsourcing all their security to security experts is the right way to offload their small IT staffs and to get the best security. Many of these companies treat 3^rd party security partners as an extension of their IT staff.
