Everything that makes employees’ lives easier, makes yours harder. Detecting insider threats — both employees and cybercriminals pretending to be employees — has never been more difficult or more important. The cloud technologies that make everyone else more efficient make security less efficient. They’re noisy. They send a lot of alerts. You’re tired. You’re overworked. You’re overloaded.

Remote workforce models don’t look like they’re going anywhere anytime soon. While your employees need to collaborate, you need to make sure that you mitigate data breach risks. You worked diligently over the last few years to put the right access controls in place. The problem? Data breaches aren’t always threat actors and are not always malicious.

So, you’ve done your homework. You’ve clearly defined business requirements, and you think you want to implement a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution into your organization. Cloud migration and remote work have changed the way threat actors attack, and it feels like every day you read about a new methodology. While a lot of companies added a SIEM to their cybersecurity technology stack, you’re not sure whether you can afford one.

Cyber resiliency is the new norm in cybersecurity. Nothing can be 100% secure, and you’re looking for a cost-effective solution to enhance your security posture. At the same time, the rapidly expanding cybersecurity technology market makes it hard to find something that best fits your needs. Most people looking at Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms want a tool that gives them high fidelity alerts to prevent their security analysts from drowning in false positives.

It’s been a really long few years in IT. You’ve been working nearly ‘round the clock. First, it was “get everyone remote and productive!” Then it was, “make sure everything is secured!” Now, it’s “we need to document everything with all the new security and privacy compliance requirements!” It’s easy to feel like you’re stuck in a perpetual hamster wheel, running continuously and going nowhere.

You’re reading the handwriting on the wall. Your company expanded its cloud infrastructure over the last few years, adding more and more Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications to its stack in response to remote work. Like 86% of other companies, you expect that this will continue at the same or an accelerated pace. In response to these IT changes, new laws and industry standards expect you to move toward a zero trust architecture.

It’s 3pm on a Wednesday, and you’re really just done with the week already. You hear that “ping” from your Slack and know that you set notifications for direct messages only, which means, ugh, you have to pay attention to this one. It’s your boss, and she’s telling you to check your email. Then you see it, the dreaded audit documentation request. This will take you the rest of today and most of tomorrow.

When security analysts choose technology, they approach the process like a mechanic looking to purchase a car. They want to look under the hood and see how the product works. They need to evaluate the product as a technologist. On the other hand, the c-suite has different evaluation criteria. Senior leadership approaches the process like a consumer buying a car.

The phone rings. Your email pings. Your marketing team just told you about a flood of messages on social media and through live chat that there’s a service outage. You thought your Monday morning would be calm and relaxed since people are just returning from the weekend. How do you start researching all of these incoming tickets? How do you know which ones to handle first? Is this just a hardware failure, or are you about to embark on a security incident investigation like Log4j?
