SIEM and Log Management:
The Need is Real
Security professionals have understood for years the need to gather log and event information to facilitate analysis for security operations, compliance and forensics. Security teams have used log management and SIEM tools to avoid becoming buried in an avalanche of events from firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS) systems, network devices and security agents installed on systems across the enterprise, as well as address the exponential increase in log and event data triggered by the use of technologies such as virtualization. And of course, beyond security, log management and SIEM capabilities are mandated by a growing number of regulations, best practices, and standards including
PCI DSS, HIPAA,
NERC CIP,
GLBA and others.
Everyone knows that more data is better than less data - but only you can make sense of what's happening to pinpoint a potential security problem before it becomes a catastrophe.
Unfortunately, as organizations have struggled to implement log management solutions, they have started to run up against the limitations of traditional log management and SIEM point solutions in terms of scalability, flexibility and the ability to support broader security and compliance needs:
 Logs Can be Disabled. The first thing most savvy attackers will do is shut off logging for short periods of time to conceal their tracks. Log management and SIEM tools that only understand log data are blind to this tactic, requiring additional data sources to detect unauthorized configuration or software changes or other anomalous behavior.
Cyber Attacks Are Designed to Evade SIEM. Today's attackers are wise to the level of visibility available via a traditional log management or SIEM tool. Attacks can be stretched beyond the correlation window or make configuration or asset changes that won't be visible via event analysis. Organizations need to analyze all data sources to ensure attacks don't fall through the cracks.
Increased Visibility and Situational Awareness. Information security and compliance organizations of every size are operating an environment where everyone is expected to do more with less - this means the age of point solutions is coming to an end. Organizations need an integrated solution to not only provide not only traditional log management SIEM capabilities, but also log management, compliance reporting, forensics and configuration audit to reduce the cost and complexity of operating the security environment.
As the needs of enterprise security and compliance professionals increase to deal with increasing threats, traditional log management and SIEM tools have become too expensive, too slow, require too much professional services and customization, and ultimately involve too much effort for the value they provide.
