SIEM stands for Security Information and Event Management. It involves collecting, aggregating, normalizing and retaining logs and other security-related data from across an organization. SIEM performs analysis on this data through correlation, prioritization and notification/alerting. It also provides reporting and workflow capabilities for security teams. While SIEM promises improved security through these functions, it requires careful planning, scoping, requirements development and ongoing focus to avoid failures and ensure value.
SIEM is an abbreviation of “Security Information and Event Management”. It comprises of two parts:

Got SIEM? Now what? Making SIEM work for you!
Dr Anton Chuvakin
SANS 2010
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) as well as log management tools have become more common across large organizations in recent years. SIEM and log management have also been a topic of hot debates. In fact, you organization might have purchased these tools already. However, many who acquired SIEM tools have realized that they are not ready to use many of the advanced correlation features, despite promises that "they are easy to use." So, what should you do to achieve success with SIEM? What logs should you collect? Correlate? Review? How do you use log management as a step before SIEM? What process absolutely must be built before SIEM purchase becomes successful. Attend this session to learn from the experience of those who did not have the benefit of learning from other's mistakes. Also, learn a few tips on how to "operationalize" that SIEM purchase you've made.
Talk that I gave in 2010 for the MIS Training Institute in Orlando. Two areas that garnered the most questions from the crowd were how to establish effective business objectives prior to implementing the SIEM in order to effectively manage expectations and of course vendor selection criteria. I could probably do a whole other talk on selecting a SIEM vendor.
Do you struggle with finding the best way to communicate with your CIO/CISO about why a security solution is worth the money and implementation effort for your company? The hardest part of the process when buying a new product is often getting your boss to sign on and understand why the purchase is important. In this webinar you will hear straight from the horses (boss!) mouth as the CIO of Rapid7, Jay Leader, details the 5 questions you should be able to answer before approaching your boss in order to explain your solution choice effectively.

7 Reasons your existing SIEM is not enoughCloudAccess
For many enterprises, SIEM has evolved into a ubiquitous and useful tool. It is meant to detect, correlate and alert users to potential threats. In fact, it is an excellent tool to collect and aggregate information in real-time from across the enterprise and present an actionable review of security issues... HOWEVER there are several mission critical aspects of the current generation of SIEM that don't meet modern security needs.

SOC Meets Cloud: What Breaks, What Changes, What to Do?
originally presented at Mandiant mWise 2023 by Dr Anton Chuvakin of Google Cloud Office of the CISO
Cloud changes everything (does it though?), including how we do threat detection and incident response in the SOC. As we continue to transform our attack surfaces, how do we make sure our detection and response are done "the cloud way"? There were also cases where both business and IT migrated to the cloud, but security was left behind and had to approach cloud challenges with on-premise tools and practices. How should a SOC born before cloud deal with cloud? What to watch for? What changes? What breaks? What stays the same?

Log management and compliance: What's the real story? by Dr. Anton ChuvakinAnton Chuvakin
Title: Log management and compliance: What's the real story? by Dr. Anton Chuvakin
One of the problems in making an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) strategy work with compliance initiatives is that compliance needs accountability at a very granular level. Consequently, IT shops are turning to log management as a solution, with many of those solutions being deployed for the purposes of regulatory compliance. The language however, regarding log management solutions can sometimes be vague which can lead to confusion. This session will lend some clarity to the regulations that affect log management. Topics will include:
Best practices for how to best mesh compliance ECM and compliance strategies with log management
Tips and suggestions for monitoring and auditing access to regulated content, with a focus on Microsoft Sharepoint logging.
An examination of a handful of the regulations affecting how organizations view log management and information security including The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), ISO 27001, The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), HIPAA and the HITECH Act.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024

As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

SIEM Primer:
1. SIEM Primer:Security Information and Event Management Dr. Anton Chuvakin SecurityWarrior LLC www.securitywarriorconsulting.com Rochester Institute of Technology 4/2011
2. Outline What is SIEM? What are logs? How SIEM helps security? Promises and failures of SIEM! Conclusions 2
4. 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
7. 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.
8. 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)
9. 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

11. What SIEM Eats: Context http://chuvakin.blogspot.com/2010/01/on-log-context.html
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…
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)
24. 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!!!

Editor's Notes
No “incident”, not “intelligence” (open or otherwise), not anything else.
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.
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.

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
