The latest News and Information on Security Incident and Event Management.
While threats continue to evolve every day, modern-day businesses cannot remain in oblivion and wait for the attackers to exploit a vulnerability or disrupt their business operations. Logsign experts recommend that businesses should be proactive while dealing with their cybersecurity. As a proactive measure, many of our clients have implemented Logsign SIEM solution to get a single-point view of their organization’s security posture.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) helps organizations in collecting, correlating, and analyzing log data from a wide range of systems connected to their IT infrastructure. Based on the results, a SIEM solution assists an organization in detecting threats and suspicious activity on their IT infrastructure. If you are already using a SIEM platform such as Logsign, you would know the importance of SIEM reports.
Whether you are a CIO or chief executive of your company, the headlines of cybersecurity threats and attacks might be worrisome for you. There is always a question about how to ensure the cybersecurity of the organization to avoid financial, compliance and reputational risks. Today, to deal with ever-growing, fast, and sophisticated cybersecurity threats and attacks, enterprises either find the correct MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) or build an efficient SOC (Security Operation Center).
Dashboards are an integral part of a SIEM solution as they help you in visualizing the security of your organization’s technical infrastructure in real-time. In our last article, we discussed in detail about the pre-configured dashboards on Logsign SIEM and the information they present for your security team. From threat intelligence to identity management, what types of dashboards are available under each category.
If you have been using a SIEM tool for quite a time, you will know that it can turn out to be a powerful security tool, if appropriately deployed. In your organization’s network, network devices such as IDS/IPS, firewalls, and routers generate a plethora of log data. Like these devices, there are many sources of data for a SIEM solution. The first barrier a SIEM encounters is normalizing the log data before it can detect and alert your team.
Dashboards are an integral component of any effective SIEM solution. After log data is aggregated from different sources, a SIEM solution prepares the data for analysis after normalization. The outcomes of this analysis are presented in the form of actionable insights through dashboards. Many SIEM solutions come with pre-configured dashboards to simplify the onboarding process for your team. Besides, an ideal solution should also allow an organization to customize dashboards as per its requirements.
In the last article, we discussed various types of reports a SIEM solution offers. We also threw light on how reports are arranged block-wise on Logsign SIEM along with other features. In this article, we explore how you can customize an existing report to suit your requirements. To start with, go to the Reports and Analysis section and select any report that you wish to customize.
Security information and event management (SIEM) solutions offer businesses the ability to collect, store, and analyze security information from across their organization and alert IT admins/security teams to potential attacks. In today’s complex digital environments, SIEMs allow IT teams to more effectively detect and respond to a wide range of threats across broad networks.
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution collects log data from numerous sources within your technical infrastructure. This acquisition and normalization of data at one single point facilitate centralized log management. It allows businesses to generate reports containing security information about their entire IT infrastructure. Reporting, out of many benefits of a SIEM solution, also helps businesses in fulfilling their documentation and compliance requirements.
