6 ASPECTS TO CONSIDER WHILE CHOOSING SIEM SOLUTIONS
1. USER ACTIVITY MONITORING Security threats can be external or internal. However, lot of companies focus more on external threats and think little of the threats that can come from within. Internal security threats are as important as the external ones and they can even cause more serious damages. Therefore, it is important tto monitor all user activity in your company.
2. REAL TIME MONITORING & ALERTING Real time monitoring and alerting will help your security team to quickly swing into action and stop any type of security threat (minor or major) before it causes any damage or disruption to your system. With this feature, it will be impossible for any threat to stay undetected in your system.
3. LONG TERM EVENT STORAGE If your organization is a large one, you need a SIEM that has larger space than the one for a smaller organization. Also, in other to do proper analyses, more data may need to be stored long-term, which further buttresses the point that you need a SIEM with enough space for long-term storage.
4. THREAT DETECTION ACROSS THE ENVIRONMENT In order to make sure every area is covered in your bid to quickly discover security threats, ensure your SIEM can process Windows, Linux, databases, Mac, applications, equipment, or applications. Every source within your organization’s environment must be covered.
5. SCALABILITY You must choose a SIEM solution that functions at every stage of your organization’s growth. It must be effective in your organization’s current and future states. As an organization expands, more data is produced; therefore, it is important that your SIEM solution licenses on a more predictable measurement, so as to avoid huge licensing fees.
6. REPORTING An organization’s security team must provide reports to auditors and executives regularly. Reporting is difficult because most organizations need to comply with multiple regulations. Your SIEM solution must be able to deliver relevant reports to you and your team.
