SIEM: The security solution every organisation must have

12 Apr 2024

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a solution that helps organisations detect, analyse and respond to security threats before they harm your business. This is achieved by collecting security-related logs from various systems, as well as using endpoint protection (EDR). Collected information is automatically analysed by detection rules and potential malicious activity is alerted. With the increasing frequency of security threats and breaches, it's more important than ever to have insight and protect your platform. Early detection of potential compromises is key to minimising damage and acting quickly.

3 challenges

Increased complexity and amount of data
With the ever-increasing amount of data generated and stored by businesses, it can be difficult to identify and analyse potential security risks in real time. SIEM solutions can collect and analyse data from various sources, including networks, servers, applications and cloud solutions, to detect abnormal patterns or anomalies that may indicate a security incident.
Lack of early detection and rapid response
Many security incidents can go on for a long time before they are detected, giving attackers time to cause damage or steal sensitive information. SIEM solutions can help detect threats in real time by monitoring and analysing events in the system and generating warnings or alerts about potential threats. In addition, they can automate response activities to deal with threats quickly and efficiently.
Compliance and reporting requirements
Companies may be obliged to comply with various laws and regulations that require the protection and reporting of sensitive information and personal data. Examples of such regulations are SOC2, ISAE3402, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR and the NIS2 directive. SIEM solutions can help ensure compliance by tracking and documenting security incidents and generating reports for auditing and reporting to regulatory authorities.

A solution

By addressing these challenges, SIEM solutions can effectively help to protect data and ensure that organisations can manage security risks in a proactive and efficient manner.

To complement the SIEM solution and relieve the customer, Orange Business offers the Security Operations Centre (SOC) as a service. Our security and monitoring centre takes a holistic approach to IT security and can take full responsibility for monitoring and responding to alarms 24/7/365. The SOC is staffed with certified security analysts who review and act on security incidents in your environment. SOC is a service that allows you to analyse anomalies quickly and efficiently, enabling you to take appropriate action. This will result in lower costs for your security incidents.
