Question 1

WHAT IS A SIEM?

Accepted Answer

SIEM stands for Security Information and Event Management. A SIEM system collects and analyzes data from your network and provide a single location where alerts and events can be viewed by cybersecurity personnel.

Question 2

WHAT TYPE OF COMPANY USES A SIEM SOLUTION?

Accepted Answer

When SIEM software was relatively new, it was mainly used by large enterprises like governments and big businesses. But today, with sensitive digital information travelling to and from nearly every B2C and B2B company, SIEM software is advisable even for small-to-medium-sized businesses. Information privacy laws in many countries now require businesses to protect the personal data of their online customers, and SIEM solutions offer one of the most effective ways to comply with those requirements when properly set up and administered.

Question 4

WHAT ROLE DOES A SIEM PLAY IN YOUR CYBERSECURITY POSTURE?

Accepted Answer

SIEM solutions use AI and machine learning to streamline threat detection and management tasks for your network via detailed user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA). This allows the software to monitor and catalogue events as they occur and evolve so that our qualified personnel can respond to them effectively.

Question 5

WHAT IS PREDICTIVE AI, AND HOW IS IT BEING USED IN CYBERSECURITY?

Accepted Answer

AI is typically used in a predictive capacity for SIEM systems. Machine learning allows the software to recognize patterns in data more effectively over time, which allows the system to identify anomalies that could signify threats to the network. AI also assists the software in generating reports for compliance purposes.

Question 6

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EDR AND SIEM?

Accepted Answer

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) software is often used to expand the capabilities of SIEM solutions. EDR software helps identify threats targeting physical endpoint devices on a network, thereby strengthening the security of an organization’s access points to network assets or applications. By contrast, an SIEM monitors traffic across the network itself.

Question 7

WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF A SIEM SOLUTION?

Accepted Answer

SIEM software is excellent at collecting information, but other tools are needed to take action when the SIEM collects information signifying a security threat. For this reason, organizations with SIEM solutions are also advised to invest in EDR software, Firewalls, and other services that can support your SIEM’s efforts. We offer all of these solutions, designed to work together so that organizations don’t have to struggle with making cybersecurity products from different providers compatible.
