The document outlines a training session by AlienVault focused on the increasing demand for effective IT security solutions amidst a challenging threat landscape. It discusses the limitations of traditional SIEM solutions and highlights the advantages of Unified Security Management (USM) as a cost-effective and integrated alternative that provides essential capabilities for threat detection and vulnerability assessment. The session emphasizes the importance of community engagement and collaboration in enhancing cybersecurity measures for organizations of all sizes, particularly in the mid-market sector.

3. AGENDA
• The Threat Landscape: Our NEW Reality
• Are companies spending on IT Security?
• SIEM: ”A Failed Strategy”
• USM - Can 11,000 customers be wrong?
• Architecting the Perfect Sale with AlienVault
• Questions & Answers

4. ARE CUSTOMERS SPENDING ON IT SECURITY?
YES…and spending a lot. Some might suggest “Too Much”
“Network Security spending to surge in 2014” – ZDNet
- 62% of organizations expect to increase spend from 2013 to 2014
- 63% of organizations want to improve threat detection monitoring
- 57% of organizations want to buy from 1 vendor to simplify management
Despite the $67.2 Billion spent on IT security (Gartner) in the US alone each
year – are we gaining on the problem?

5. • More and more organizations are finding themselves in the crosshairs of various bad actors
for a variety of reasons.
• The number of organizations experiencing high profile breaches is unprecedented.
• The “security arms race” cannot continue indefinitely as the economics of securing your
organization is stacked so heavily in favor of those launching attacks that incremental security
investments are seen as impractical. We must turn the tables.
THREAT LANDSCAPE: “OUR NEW REALITY”

6. • Organizations (mid-market AND enterprise) are demanding solutions that are scalable, cost
effective, and manageable.
• Enterprises are shifting spend toward consolidated solutions that offer better
integration, manageability and economic leverage. (example UTM)
• Organizations are looking to augment their own in-house expertise with a vendor who
continues to offer their teams insight into issues across the threat landscape
THREAT LANDSCAPE: “OUR NEW REALITY” ‘continued’
84%
of organizations breached
had evidence of the
breach in their log files…

7. DESPITE THE BILLIONS SPENT…

…VENDORS ARE FAILING CUSTOMERS

8. IN THE PAST YEAR…
• 90% of US businesses suffered some sort of hacking attack*
• 77% of victims attacked more than once*
• 198 US nuclear and power facilities attacked**
• $120B in damages to US businesses due to cybercrime***
• $1 Trillion in intellectual property worldwide stolen*
We’ve seen the stats; HOWEVER what’s lost of most is
the SOPHISTICATION of these attacks
…“BAD ACTORS” ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN EVER

9. TRADITIONAL SECURITY COMPLEX, EXPENSIVE
GIVEN THE 10 MOST RECOMMENDED TECHNOLOGIES
AND THE PRICING RANGE, AN ORGANIZATION COULD
EXPECT TO SPEND ANYWHERE FROM $225,000 TO
$1.46M IN ITS FIRST YEAR, INCLUDING TECHNOLOGY
AND STAFF.
SOURCE: THE REAL COST OF SECURITY, 451 RESEARCH,
APRIL 2013
FACTOR INTO THIS:
INITIAL LICENSING COSTS
IMPLEMENTATION / OPTIMIZATION COSTS
ONGOING MANAGEMENT COSTS
RENEWAL COSTS
INTEGRATION OF ALL SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES
TRAINING OF PERSONNEL/INCOMING PERSONNEL

10. HAS SIEM DELIVERED SECURITY “VISIBILITY”?
77%
of organizations
DON’T believe that SIEM
solutions are delivering
the value promised.
These same companies believe it’s the
product/vendor. Is it possible that neither are to
blame? Could it be the approach?

11. SO WHY ARE SIEM SOLUTIONS FAILING?
• High price-tag makes SIEM cost-prohibitive for most.
-- Ok, but what about those who can afford it?
• Events alone do not provide enough context to combat today’s threats.
-- Continuous threat data is needed, more context needed
• Complex usability directly contribute to high costs associated to ongoing
management
-- Dedicated resources are needed for all SIEM vendor solutions. Remember
the target market.
• Integration of multiple technologies challenging
-- Ok, but once they are all integrated; that shouldn’t be a concern right?

12. THE “BIGGEST” REASON SIEM SOLUTIONS FAIL?
• CORRELATION is left up to the end user to own. SIEM vendors DON’T help here.
What’s worse – they CAN’T.
Remember this Graph?
During the evaluation the vendor does:
• The deployment of the SIEM
• Integration of all the data sources
• Builds the correlation rules for the customer
• Develops the reports for the customer
• Leverages ‘point in time’ threat data
• Manages the system
So what’s wrong with that?
Nothing…as long as the vendor remains onsite; otherwise the cycle continues.
