One of the major challenges when using security monitoring and analytics tools is how to deal with the high number of alerts and false positives. Even when the most straightforward policies are applied, SIEMs end up alerting on far too many incidents response that are neither malicious nor urgent. Visit - https://siemplify.co

3. Introduction
SIEMs are mandatory tools for forensic security teams,
aggregating logs from a multitude of sources, exploring
within a dataset, and auditing thoroughly. But anyone who’s
tried to run their security operations solely on a SIEM
(Security Information and Event Management), knows all
too well its limitations:

4. Hard to Connect The Dots
One of the major challenges
when using security monitoring
and analytics tools is how to
deal with the high number of
alerts and false positives. Even
when the most straightforward
policies are applied, SIEMs end
up alerting on far too many
incidents response that are
neither malicious nor urgent.

5. Insufficient Correlation Rules
The out-of-the-box, correlation rules of
traditional SIEM solutions are insufficient to
address the needs of today’s organizations.
They need to be extensively configured to
meet the unique requirement of the
organization. This a time-consuming task
requiring significant technical
understanding of the organization’s
cybersecurity infrastructure.

7. Challenging User-Experience
Using SIEM dashboards, SOC
teams should be able to view
and analyze event information in
real-time. However, as the
organization’s network expand
and data accumulates, security
professionals are unable to see
the log’s origin, user identities,
user activities, and if they could
be a potential threat.

8. Limited Investigation Capabilities
In some cases, SIEMs are able to
combine event data with contextual
information such as, details of a
user, assets, known threats, and
specific vulnerabilities. This
provides crucial knowledge about
security events. However, SIEMs are
not actually built to support the
natural research flow in the case of
an attack.

9. Lack Of Built-in Mitigation Tools
SOC teams need to be notified about
incidents, properly analyze them and take
remedial actions in real-time.
Traditional SIEM solutions do not provide
actionable data and investigation tools to
support SOC teams and lead them
through the mitigation process.

10. Incident Response Workflow

11. Conclusion
Although SIEM correlation rules consolidate events into a single
alert, the SOC team still needs to explore each endpoint to get more
information about the incident. Once the attack is revealed, the
security team needs to access the FTP servers and check the
firewall log, the DLP system status and the EventVwr of the targeted
servers and more.
