SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) technology provides real-time analysis of security alerts from various sources like network devices, servers, etc. It has four main components - SEM (Security Event Management), SIM (Security Information Management), data collection, and data analysis. SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) was developed to address limitations of SIEM tools like needing regular tuning and dedicated staff. SOAR technologies enable automated response to security events by integrating data from various sources, building response processes using playbooks, and providing a single dashboard for security response. Key benefits of SOAR include faster incident detection/response, better threat context, simplified management, and boosting analyst productivity through automation.

Definition
Gartner defines a SOC as both a team, often operating in shifts around the clock, and a facility dedicated to and organized to prevent, detect, assess and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents, and to fulfill and assess regulatory compliance. The term "cybersecurity operation center "is often used synonymously for SOC.
A network operations center (NOC) is not a SOC, which focuses on network device management rather than detecting and responding to cybersecurity incidents. Coordination between the two is common, however.
A managed security service is not the same as having a SOC — although a service provider may offer services from a SOC. A managed service is a shared resource and not solely dedicated to a single organization or entity. Similarly, there is no such thing as a managed SOC.
Most of the technologies, processes and best practices that are used in a SOC are not specific to a SOC. Incident response or vulnerability management remain the same, whether delivered from a SOC or not. It is a meta-topic, involving many security domains and disciplines, and depending on the services and functions that are delivered by the SOC.
Services that often reside in a SOC are:
• Cyber security incident response
• Malware analysis
• Forensic analysis
• Threat intelligence analysis
• Risk analytics and attack path modeling
• Countermeasure implementation
• Vulnerability assessment
• Vulnerability analysis
• Penetration testing
• Remediation prioritization and coordination
• Security intelligence collection and fusion
• Security architecture design
• Security consulting
• Security awareness training
• Security audit data collection and distribution

From SIEM to SOC: Crossing the Cybersecurity ChasmPriyanka Aash
You own a SIEM, but to be secure, you need a Security Operations Center! How do you cross the chasm? Do you hire staff or outsource? And what skills are needed? Mike Ostrowski, a cybersecurity industry veteran, will review common pitfalls experienced through the journey from SIEM to SOC, the pros and cons of an all in-house SOC vs. outsourcing, and the benefits of a hybrid SOC model.
Learning Objectives:
1: You own a SIEM, but to be secure, you need a SOC. How do you cross the chasm?
2: What are the pros and cons of in-house, fully managed and hybrid security?
3: What considerations go into deciding whether to employ a hybrid strategy?
(Source: RSA Conference USA 2018)
Application Security - Your Success Depends on itWSO2
Traditional information security mainly revolves around network and operating system (OS) level protection. Regardless of the level of security guarding those aspects, the system can be penetrated and the entire deployment can be brought down if your application's security isn't taken into serious consideration. Information security should ideally start at the application level, before network and OS level security is ensured. To achieve this, security needs to be integrated into the application at the software development phase.
In this session, Dulanja will discuss the following:
The importance of application security - why network and OS security is insufficient.
Challenges in securing your application.
Making security part of the development lifecycle.
Get advice from security gurus on how to get up & running with SIEM quickly and painlessly. You'll learn about log collection, log management, log correlation, integrated data sources and how-to leverage threat intelligence into your SIEM implementation.

7 Steps to Build a SOC with Limited ResourcesLogRhythm
Most organizations don't have the resources to staff a 24x7 security operations center (SOC). This results in events that aren't monitored around the clock, major delays in detecting and responding to incidents, and the inability for the team to proactively hunt for threats. It's a dangerous situation.
But there is a solution. By using the Threat Lifecycle Management framework to combine people, process, and technology to automate manual tasks, your team can rapidly detect and respond to threats—without adding resources. Read on to learn 7 steps to building your SOC, even when your resources are limited.

Is SIEM really Dead ? OR Can it evolve into a Platform ?Aujas
The challenges with SIEM and How it can become an integrated security platform, to provide a framework for managing next generation SOC, and mitigate advanced attacks
This solution overview discusses solving Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) challenges with RSA Security Analytics, which enables security analysts to be effective in protecting an organization’s digital assets and IT systems.
It’s a fair question and one that is compounded by the convergence we see happening across many categories within cybersecurity. Security operations teams have a broad spectrum of choices from pure-play security orchestration and automation platforms to traditional SIEMs that are adding orchestration capabilities.

The Fundamentals and Significance of Security Orchestration Toolssecuraa
Did you know, security orchestration and analytics are essential parts of creating a cyber security program? Security orchestration tools allow companies to protect their data and information from cyber threats.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a technology for cyber security that provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated by hardware as well as network applications.
SIEM monitoring supports earliest threat detection and fastest security incident response through the real-time collection and historical analysis of security events that are compiled from a broad variety of event and contextual data sources. SIEM tools also support compliance reporting and incident investigation via historical data analysis from the sources.

A Pragmatic Approach to SIEM: Buy for Compliance, Use for SecurityTripwire
Too often, organizations purchase SIEM and log management solutions to check a compliance checkbox. These organizations miss a huge opportunity to improve security while meeting compliance requirements. In this white paper, security and compliance eWPxpert Dr. Anton Chuvakin explains how to take advantage of this opportunity.
Whitepaper here: http://www.tripwire.com/register/a-pragmatic-approach-to-siem-buy-for-compliance-use-for-security/
Today’s networks are larger and more complex than ever before, and
protecting them against malicious activity is a never-ending task.
Organizations seeking to safeguard their intellectual property, protect
their customer identities and avoid business disruptions need to do more
than monitor logs and network flow data; they need to leverage advanced
tools to detect these activities in a consumable manner.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
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.

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).

2. Security Information and Event Management
Components of SIEM
SEM (Security Event
Management)
The segment of security
management that deals with
real-time monitoring, correlation
of events, notifications ,and
console views is commonly
known as SEM.
Security Information
Management
The second area provides long-
term storage, analysis, and
reporting of log data and is
known as SIM.
It is a term for software products and services combining security
information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM).
SIEM technology provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated
by network hardware and applications.
Step 4
Pinpoint security breaches and enable organization to investigate alerts
Step 3

controllers and more
SIEM Process
4. SIEM Functionality
Log management aggregates
data from many sources,
including network, security,
servers, databases, and
applications, providing the
ability to consolidate
monitored data to help
avoid missing crucial events.
Data aggregation This involves looking for
common attributes and
linking events into
meaningful bundles. This
technology provides the
ability to perform a variety
of correlation techniques to
integrate different sources to
turn data into useful
information.
Correlation:
This is the automated
analysis of correlated events
and production of alerts to
notify recipients of
immediate issues.
Alerting:
Tools can take event data
and turn it into
informational charts to assist
in seeing patterns or
identifying activity that is
not forming a standard
pattern.
Dashboards
Applications can be
employed to automate
the gathering of
compliance data,
producing reports that
adapt to existing security,
governance, and auditing
processes.
Compliance This involves employing
long-term storage of
historical data to facilitate
correlation of data over
time and to provide the
retention necessary for
compliance requirements
Retention
This is the ability to
search across logs on
different nodes and time
periods based on specific
criteria.
Forensic
analysis Some SIEMs include
automated alert and
response capabilities that
can be programmed to
suit your policies and
environment.

Response
5. Why SOAR is required
Why
SOAR?
• SIEM tools usually needs regular tuning to continually
understand and differentiate between anomalous and normal
activity.
• SIEM applications require consistent fine-tuning and
development for security teams to maximize their value while
avoiding getting bombarded with countless alerts.
• SIEM applications require dedicated development staff to
manage rules and use cases to ensure that normal activities
are not mixed up with suspicious ones.
• It is difficult to ingest data from external feeds like SSL
certificate chain data , domain reputation scores etc. and it
normally works with only logs and event data from whole lot
0f traditional infrastructure
6. What is SOAR( Security Orchestration , Automation and Response)
Security
Orchestration,
Automation
and
Response
(SOAR)
• It is a term used to describe the convergence of
three distinct technology markets:
• Security orchestration and automation
• Security incident response platforms (SIRP)
• Threat intelligence platforms (TIP).
• SOAR technologies enable organizations to collect
and aggregate vast amounts of security data and
alerts from a wide range of sources.
• This helps to build automated processes to respond
to low-level security events and standardize threat
detection and remediation procedures.
• .
Three core
capabilities
of SOAR
technologies:
Threat and
vulnerability
management
Security
incident
response
Security
operations
automation
7. Components of SOAR
Threat Intelligence
• Ingest and Analyzes data
Automation
• Automates low level
manual process
Orchestration
• Connects and integrates disparate tools
Response
• Offers a single-view
dashboard to plan,
manage, monitor and
report incident
response.
8. SOAR Platform Components
Security orchestration
•Security orchestration connects and integrates disparate
internal and external tools via built-in or custom
integrations and application programming interfaces
(APIs).
•Connected systems may include vulnerability scanners,
endpoint protection products, end-user behavior
analytics, firewalls, intrusion detection and intrusion
prevention systems (IDSes/IPSes), and security
information and event management (SIEM) platforms, as
well as external threat intelligence feeds.
•Where security orchestration consolidates data to initiate
response functions, security automation takes action.
Security Automation
•Security automation, fed by the data and alerts collected
from security orchestration, ingests and analyzes data and
creates repeated, automated processes to replace manual
processes.
•Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to
decipher and adapt insights from analysts, SOAR
automation can make recommendations and automate
future responses.
•Playbooks are essential to SOAR success. Prebuilt or
customized playbooks are predefined automated actions.
Multiple SOAR playbooks can be connected to complete
complex actions.
Security response
•Security response offers a single view for analysts into the
planning, managing, monitoring and reporting of actions
carried out once a threat is detected.
•It also includes post-incident response activities, such as
case management, reporting and threat intelligence
sharing.
•Security incident response technologies that support how
an organization plans, manages, tracks and coordinates
the response to a security incident
9. Benefits of SOAR
• SOAR's improved data context,
combined with automation, can
bring lower mean time to detect
(MTTD) and mean time to
respond (MTTR).
Faster incident
detection and
reaction times.
• By integrating more data from a
wider array of tools and
systems, SOAR platforms can
offer more context, better
analysis and up-to-date threat
information.
Better threat
context.
• SOAR platforms consolidate
various security systems'
dashboards into a single
interface.
Simplified
management.
• SOAR's orchestration,
automation and workflows can
meet scalability demands more
easily.
Scalability.
• Automating lower-level threats
augments SecOps and security
operations center (SOC) teams'
responsibilities, enabling them
to prioritize tasks more
effectively and respond to
threats that require human
intervention more quickly.
Boosting
analysts'
productivity.
• Standardized procedures and
playbooks that automate lower-
level tasks enable SecOps teams
to respond to more threats in
the same time period
Streamlining
operations.
• SOAR platforms' reporting and
analysis consolidate information
quickly, enabling better data
management processes and
better response efforts to
update existing security policies
and programs for more effective
security
Reporting and
collaboration.
• In many instances, augmenting
security analysts with SOAR
tools can lower costs, as
opposed to manually
performing all threat analysis,
detection and response efforts.
Lowered costs.
10. Benefits and Drawbacks of SOAR tools
Benefits
