Staff time, log processing, and legacy issues can turn free, open-source or low-cost SIEMs into one of your organisation’s most expensive investments. You’re not alone if you’re baulking at the idea of paying upwards of tens of thousands of pounds for a new or renewed SIEM licence. Many security decision-makers feel the same way. One survey showed that almost half (40%) of existing SIEM users feel like they are overpaying for their SIEM.

Cybersecurity is a team sport, as malicious actors and advanced persistent threats are constantly evolving their tactics. In this ever-changing landscape, it is crucial for organizations to collaborate and learn from one another’s experiences. At Devo, we recognize the importance of teamwork in combating these threats. We are committed to enhancing our product capabilities and content to empower every customer to participate in this collective defense.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, having a robust and efficient security information and event management (SIEM) system is crucial. One powerful solution that has gained significant traction is the Elastic® integration with Amazon Security Lake. This integration not only facilitates the collection of security-related log and event data, but also empowers organizations to analyze and understand their security posture comprehensively.

Security information and event management (SIEM) systems play a pivotal role in cybersecurity: they offer a unified solution for gathering and assessing alerts from a plethora of security tools, network structures, and software applications. Yet, the mere presence of a SIEM isn't a magic bullet. For optimal functionality, SIEM systems must be appropriately set up, governed, and supervised round-the-clock.

CISOs and IT leaders are tasked with the critical responsibility of safeguarding their organisations against an ever-increasing array of threats, all while striving to optimise costs and drive business growth. CISOs are grappling with the demand to achieve more with limited resources this year—a challenge that many have not encountered before.

The Elastic InfoSec Threat Detection team is responsible for building, tuning, and maintaining the security detections used to protect all Elastic® systems. Internally, we call ourselves Customer Zero and we strive to always use the newest versions of our products. This blog details how we are building packages of detection rules that work together to create a high fidelity alert for strange user behavior.

Change is constant in any career, and the world of cybersecurity is no exception. Hackers and cybercriminals devise new tactics regularly, and cybersecurity professionals must stay current with emerging threats and new technology. While keeping pace with these shifts is essential, it’s also important to balance your commitment to the field with your personal career goals.
