Why is SIEM Important for Regulatory Compliance? A security information and event management (SIEM) system can improve the security of your business’ computer network with real-time automation, monitoring, logging and event alerts. By leveraging SIEM Software, your security team is able to track events concerning your company’s information security, such as potential data breaches, helping you to react in a timely manner.

In today’s dynamic world, the fifth generation of global wireless technology (or as we know it, 5G) is driving innovation in the financial sector, and the global pandemic is changing everyone’s lifestyle and payment habits, online payments become more and more important. Against this backdrop, the most dominant tendencies are mobile and online banking, as well as investment banking.

Security information and event management (SIEM) has been “reserved” for large enterprises for a long time and therefore vendors largely ignored smaller customers. “Smaller customers” are medium enterprises and mid-market companies, according to various definitions and brackets, and they range from a hundred to more than a thousand employees. But the problem that SIEM solves are problems that these SME/mid-market organizations have as well.

At Illuminate 2020, Kashif Iqbal, Head of Corporate Technology and Cyber Security at SEGA Europe, shared their data security challenges and how they currently leverage Sumo Logic for their security needs. Kashif spoke about the four main benefits their security team have experienced since switching to Sumo Logic.

Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming a topic for legislators, especially for the public sector, critical infrastructure, healthcare, education, the financial and insurance sectors. In the US, in addition to several federal laws (HIPAA, HITECH, GLBA, SOX, FISMA, CISA), there are many state-level laws that impose some level of cybersecurity requirement (we have excluded the ones regarding election security in particular, as that’s a separate topic of discussion)

Threat intelligence has been a very important asset to cybersecurity- knowing in advance some properties of malicious actors is key for preventing security incidents. Most typically these properties are IP addresses, domains, emails and file hashes, and being able to compare them to what’s happening in your infrastructure allows for quick response and prevention.

At Sumo Logic Illuminate 2020, The Energy Authority’s IT Director for Service Delivery and Support Scott Follick spoke about the TEA, how they do things, what they have learned in the process of searching for a SIEM solution, and why they chose Sumo.

LogSentinel’s vision is to provide a security monitoring solution to any organization that needs it and thus reduce their risk of security breaches. That vision requires many innovations and here we’re sharing our high-level roadmap for the next 2 years. Each part of LogSentinel SIEM roadmap is accompanied with a detailed list of stories in our backlog so that can be easily brought to market.

During Sumo Logic’s Illuminate user conference, Heath Hendrickson, senior security architect at the Clorox company, and Gary Conner, senior threat protection lead, presented how they are leveraging Sumo Logic across security operations, threat hunting, IT operations, and more.
