Features, benefits and possibilities of SIEM and SOC
Our specialists monitor your complete ICT environment 24/7 and in real time using a Security Information and Event Management System (SIEM). This is a combination of software and hardware that automatically collects, combines and analyzes IT-related security information. That security information primarily involves event and log data created by host systems, applications, operating systems, security software and hardware (including antivirus filters and firewalls) and databases. The analyses are particularly focused on the timely detection of suspicious behavior and anomalous patterns.
Prevention
When the SIEM software identifies potential security problems, security alerts are generated. Using a set of predefined rules, your organization can set these alerts as low or high priority. The system exposes the full extent of an attack and provides the responsible analysts with orchestration and automation capabilities to nip threats in the bud. As part of SIEM, the so-called Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) system then ensures that this incident-response process runs efficiently.
Compliance
A SIEM system can also help an organization with regard to compliance, for example with regard to the protection of personal data and ISO certification, by automatically generating reports that contain all the recorded security events from these sources. Your organization can use this data to submit enhanced security logs to auditors. Your digital resilience is thus increased on multiple fronts simultaneously through a SIEM. The deployment of SIEM and SOC are even mandatory for municipalities since 2020, and for good reason.
