SIEM Primer:Security Information and Event Management  Dr. Anton Chuvakin SecurityWarrior LLC www.securitywarriorconsulting.com Rochester Institute of Technology 4/2011
Outline What is SIEM? What are logs? How SIEM helps security? Promises and failures of SIEM! Conclusions 2
SIEM? Security Information and Event Management! (sometimes: SIM or SEM)
SIEM vs Log Management  LM: Log Management Focus on all uses for logs SIEM:  Security Information  and Event Management Focus on security useof logs and other data
The Big Picture
Big 3 for SIEM/LM Compliance Security Ops
SIEM and LM Defined Security Information and Event Management = relevant log collection, aggregation, normalization, retention; context data collection; analysis (correlation, prioritization); presentation (reporting, visualization); related workflow and relevant content. Log Management = comprehensive log collection, aggregation, original  log retention; analysis; presentation (search, reporting, visualization); related workflow and relevant content.
What SIEM MUST Have? Log and Context Data Collection Normalization Correlation (“SEM”) Notification/alerting (“SEM”) Prioritization (“SEM”) Reporting and report delivery (“SIM”) Security role workflow (IR, SOC, etc)
Just What Is “Correlation”? Dictionary: “establishing relationships” SIEM: “relate events together for security benefit” Why correlate events? Automated cross-device data analysis! Simple correlation rule: If this, followed by that, take some action
What SIEM Eats: Logs <18> Dec 17 15:45:57 10.14.93.7 ns5xp: NetScreendevice_id=ns5xp system-warning-00515: Admin User anton has logged on via Telnet from 10.14.98.55:39073 (2002-12-17 15:50:53)  <57> Dec 25 00:04:32:%SEC_LOGIN-5-LOGIN_SUCCESS:LoginSuccess [user:anton] [Source:10.4.2.11] [localport:23] at 20:55:40 UTC Fri Feb 28 2006 <122> Mar  4 09:23:15 localhostsshd[27577]: Accepted password for anton from ::ffff:192.168.138.35 port 2895 ssh2 <13> Fri Mar 17 14:29:38 2006 680 Security SYSTEM User Failure Audit ENTERPRISE Account Logon Logon attempt by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0    Logon  account:  ANTON    Source Workstation: ENTERPRISE    Error Code: 0xC000006A     4574
What SIEM Eats: Context http://chuvakin.blogspot.com/2010/01/on-log-context.html
Example SIEM Use Case Cross-system authentication  tracking Scope: all systems with authentication  Purpose: detect unauthorized access to systems Method: track login failures and successes Rule details: multiple login failures followed by login success Response plan: user account investigation, suspension, communication with suspect user
What do we know about SIEM? Ties to many technologies, analyzes data, requires process around it, etc What does it actually mean? Many people think “SIEM is complex” Thinking Aloud Here…
Broad SIEM Usage Scenarios Security Operations Center (SOC) RT views, analysts 24/7, chase alerts Mini-SOC / “morning after” Delayed views, analysts 1/24, review and drill-down “Automated SOC” / alert + investigate Configure and forget, investigate alerts Compliance status reporting Review  reports/views weekly/monthly
The Right Way to SIEM Figure out what problems you want to solve with SIEM Confirm that SIEM is the best way to solve  them Define and analyze use cases Create requirements for a tool Choose scope for SIEM coverage Assess data volume Perform product research Create a tool shortlist Pilot top 2-3 products Test the products for features, usability and scalability vs requirements Select a product for deployment Update or create procedures, IR plans, etc Deploy the tool (phase 1)
The Popular Way to SIEM Buy a SIEM appliance
Got Difference? What  people WANT to know and have before they deploy a SIEM? What  people NEED to know and have before they deploy a SIEM?
Got SIEM?Have you inherited it? Now what?
One Way to NOT Fail With SIEM SIEM Project Plan: Goals and requirements Functionality / features Scoping of data collection Sizing Architecting
SIEM/LM Maturity Curve
Best Reports? SANS Top 7 DRAFT “SANS Top 7 Log Reports” Authentication  Changes Network activity Resource access Malware activity Failures Analytic reports
Best Correlation Rules?  Nada Vendor default rules? IDS/IPS + vulnerability scan? Anton fave rules: Authentication Outbound access Safeguard failure ?
Secret to SIEM Magic!
Conclusions SIEM will work and has value … but BOTH initial and ongoing time/focus commitment is required FOCUS on what problems you are trying to solve with SIEM: requirements! Phased approach WITH “quick wins” is the easiest way to go Operationalize!!!

  • 12. Example SIEM Use Case Cross-system authentication tracking Scope: all systems with authentication Purpose: detect unauthorized access to systems Method: track login failures and successes Rule details: multiple login failures followed by login success Response plan: user account investigation, suspension, communication with suspect user
  • 13. What do we know about SIEM? Ties to many technologies, analyzes data, requires process around it, etc What does it actually mean? Many people think “SIEM is complex” Thinking Aloud Here…
  • 14. Broad SIEM Usage Scenarios Security Operations Center (SOC) RT views, analysts 24/7, chase alerts Mini-SOC / “morning after” Delayed views, analysts 1/24, review and drill-down “Automated SOC” / alert + investigate Configure and forget, investigate alerts Compliance status reporting Review reports/views weekly/monthly
  • 15. The Right Way to SIEM Figure out what problems you want to solve with SIEM Confirm that SIEM is the best way to solve them Define and analyze use cases Create requirements for a tool Choose scope for SIEM coverage Assess data volume Perform product research Create a tool shortlist Pilot top 2-3 products Test the products for features, usability and scalability vs requirements Select a product for deployment Update or create procedures, IR plans, etc Deploy the tool (phase 1)

Editor's Notes

  1. No “incident”, not “intelligence” (open or otherwise), not anything else.
  2. Another way to decide is to look at what problem you’re trying to solve with the tool. Over the years, the following areas where SIEM and log management tools can deliver value have emerged: Security, detective, and investigative: sometimes also called threat management, this focuses on detecting and responding to attacks, malware infection, data theft and other security issues. It is very useful to see this as two separate factors: monitoring and detection of security issues vs investigation and forensic analysis of security incidents.Compliance, regulatory (global) and policy (local): this focuses on satisfying the requirement of various laws, mandates and frameworks. Most of the mandates have the intention of helping you improve security, so there is a lot of overlap between this and the previous item.Operational, system and network troubleshooting and administration: specific mostly to log management, this use case has to do with investigating system problems as well as monitoring the availability of systems and applications.
  3. Security Information and Event Management = security-relevant log collection, aggregation, normalization, retention; context data collection; analysis (correlation, prioritization); presentation (reporting, visualization); related workflow and relevant content.Log management = comprehensive log collection, aggregation, original log retention; analysis; presentation (search, reporting, visualization); related workflow and relevant content.
  4. What is correlation? Different definitions given by different people.Dictionary: “establishing relationships”Why correlate events?Cross-device data analysisWhat else one might want to correlate?Events and …
  5. Gal: “CISO thinks that SIEM opportunity cost is too big; spend $100k on SIEM vs spend $100k to solve a dozen problems”
  6. Figure OutCustom StuffTunedRightAdapted
  7. Maybe inheritedDoes everybody need a SIEM?Do you need a SIEM?Are you ready for SIEM?Do you want a SIEM?
  8. The previous version “SANS Top 5 Essential Log Report” (you can still get it at SANS site) is being updated by the author. Here is the draft that you can use today.1. Authentication and Authorization Reportsa. All login failures and successes by user, system, business unit – must have login success logs, not just failure!b. Login attempts (successes, failures) to disabled/service/non-existing/default/suspended accountsc. All logins after office hours / “off” hoursd. Users failing to authenticate by count of unique systems they triede. VPN authentication and other remote access logins (success, failure)f. Privileged account access: logins, su use, Run As use, etc. (success, failure)g. Multiple login failures followed by success by same account – needs to have correlation for that2. Change Reportsa. Additions/changes/deletions to users, groups – even a trend on user additions across systems would be usefulb. Additions of accounts to administrator / privileged groupsc. Password changes and resets – by users and by admins to usersd. Additions/changes/deletions to network servicese. Changes to system files – binaries, configurations – likely needs a list to rung. Changes in file access permissionsh. Application installs and updates (success, failure) by system, application, user
