SIEM Tools Best Practices Unlock Powerful Cyber Security Capabilities

NYC area cyber security expert shares SIEM use cases, common SIEM challenges and best practices for SIEM tools implementation—in a new article from eMazzanti Technologies

HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A NYC area cyber security expert argues that SIEM tools aid both compliance and security in a new article. The informative article first relates SIEM use cases, including the detection of security and compliance policy violations, demonstrating regulatory compliance, and automating incident response.

She continues by discussing common SIEM challenges such as alert fatigue, poor quality data, and the cost and complexity of deploying and maintaining SIEM tools. She concludes by outlining five best practices for SIEM implementation, including fine-tuning the SIEM configuration, expert review, and careful solution evaluation. She also encourages readers to consider using SIEM managed services to reduce costs and complexity.

"SIEM tools provide an effective way for organizations to both achieve regulatory compliance and respond swiftly to security threats," stated Jennifer Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies. "But choosing the right SIEM solution and deploying it properly requires a substantial learning curve."

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "SIEM Tools Best Practices Unlock Powerful Cyber Security Capabilities."

SIEM Use Cases

"SIEM tools also help the organization demonstrate regulatory compliance by providing dashboards and reports as evidence of security measures taken. Compliance reports provide a detailed analysis of any compliance violations detected. This includes the specific events that triggered the alert, the root causes, the impacts, and the evidence collected."

Common SIEM Challenges

"While properly configured SIEM tools deliver significant benefits, the technology does come with some risks. One common challenge involves alert fatigue. With potentially thousands of devices and events triggering alerts, the security team may receive many false alarms. When this happens, real problems may get buried or ignored."

Best Practices for SIEM Implementation

"Pair automated SIEM technology with expert review – Even with highly-automated SIEM technology, a human expert should provide "eyes on" analysis and incident response guidance. This combination of technology and human expertise will help ensure proper remediation of events."

"Consider using managed services – Managed services can help reduce costs and complexity. By implementing an option such as eCare SOC from eMazzanti, organizations benefit from 24x7 monitoring and the assistance of trained cyber security experts."

SIEM Tools as Part of a Comprehensive Security Strategy

By themselves, SIEM tools will not fully protect against cyber threats and ensure regulatory compliance. However, they play an essential part in an overall security strategy. Business leaders should contact the cyber security experts at eMazzanti Technologies to learn more about SIEM solutions and related technologies.
