When it comes to security information and event management, it is important that businesses shift their mindset from "incident response" to "continuous response." By doing so, you are assuming you will be compromised at some point and look to seek a defense against the looming threats. If you are only worrying about cybersecurity after an incident happens, then you already lost. No business is immune to a cyber-attack, which means you should prepare for one to happen. SIEM is an effective cybersecurity solution that offers continuous detection of threats. However, SIEM is challenging to deploy correctly and manage full time, which is why turning to the IT team at MSEDP is a smart decision. With our leadership at the helm, we can utilize SIEM to safeguard your data and network. Over the years, SIEM has risen due to its many great advantages, which includes the following:

It is helpful to have a common understanding of the terminology and unique differences between the approaches to security information and event management. This way you can make an even more informed decision on how to better protect your assets. Due to the advanced threats in the climate today, the requirement for more advanced resources and technology has only grown. When it comes to SIEM solutions, there are four primary options available, which are DIY SIEM Software, SIEM-as-a-Service, SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS), and Co-Managed SIEM. Let's take a closer look at these four options.
DIY SIEM Software
This is a do-it-yourself option that involves businesses implementing the SIEM technology themselves or leveraging open-source tools in combination to add analytics, compliance, and log storage. If this is the route a business goes, it typically requires a larger team and higher level of expertise to not only implement the solutions, but also to manage, maintain, and tune these solutions over time. SIEM is not a “set it and forget it" type of technology. It requires a hands-on approach, which is also what the team at MSEDP can provide if you think doing it yourself is too much of an ask.
SIEM-as-a-Service (SIEMaaS)
SIEM-as-a-Service is also called “cloud SIEM." This option is basically Software-as-a-Service licensed on a monthly basis and hosted, maintained, tuned, and patched to work optimally. This way you do not have to worry about the infrastructure, log storage, or system administration. However, businesses will still have the responsibility to drive it to get value out of SIEM-as-a-Service. So you will need an IT equipped to handle the SIEM solutions.
SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS)
With this option, you receive the SOC “function” as a service, not just the software. With this option, you will be getting a team of people to orchestrate the solutions and the processes. You will also get all of the SIEM platform/tools necessary to perform the network and endpoint threat monitoring, detection, and response for your organization. MSEDP offers SIEM and log management. In a way, you can "set it and forget it" with this option since you are leaving it with our team of dedicated professionals to handle properly. But we will be on top of it at all times and most certainly not "forget it."
Co-Managed SIEM
Co-managed SIEM is a version of SOC-as-a-Service in which businesses can play a more active role in the shared responsibility of determining and carrying out the security operations strategy. A runbook with incident response (IR) and an operating playbook typically outline the shared responsibility tailored to your organization. This is a good option for businesses with an IT team, but perhaps one that is not big enough to handle all the aspects of SIEM. MSEDP can cater to your needs and provide you with IT services that fit your budget and scale.
In order to make a decision on the best solution for your business, document your “must-have” criteria from “nice-to-have” considerations so that you do not solve for corner cases that may add complexity and cost. Of course, the most affordable is the DIY approach, but that is also one that leaves you stranded on an island in case this is an incident you cannot handle. Turning to the IT team at MSEDP ensures that someone is always there to help. Do not hesitate to reach out to MSEDP for the best in IT solutions and Security Information Event Management (SIEM) and event log management solutions.
It is easy to leave the cybersecurity aspects of your business to your IT team, but when the executives and higher ups get involved in the goings-on with cybersecurity, then it is a big win for the business. Having an understanding of these aspects can help make major decisions down the road. Cybersecurity is a balancing act for any business, but a business that is too conservative might overlook advancements in the field of cybersecurity. Thus, putting the whole company at risk of attack.
Here are a few reasons why cybersecurity is an executive-level issue:
By having the organizational leaders weigh in on these aspects, they can plan strategically for the business and determine what to prioritize with cybersecurity firmly in everyone's mind. It is important to emphasize the need to have these measures in place that will help any business save money and simultaneously reduce cyber risk. Keeping data and important information away from hackers and malignant attacks. At MSEDP, we ask all of our clients to carefully weigh the actual capabilities and timeline of security options that might seem on the surface to save you money, but do not fully protect you from threats. We are partners in this and we are proud to work with many businesses across the United States.
It is becoming more and more difficult to recognize breaches due to cyber attacks. Firewall and antivirus are no longer enough in this day and age since today's hackers are smarter than ever.

In a nutshell, security information and event management works by combining two technologies: Security information management, or SIM, and security event management, or SEM. SIM collects data from your log files for analysis and reports on any security threats and events taking place. And we combine with SEM, which conducts real-time system monitoring, notifies network admins about pressing issues and aims to establish any correlations between security events. So you get complete security enhancements with SIEM.
The security information and event management process breaks down as such:
Data Collection
We configure all sources of network security information to feed event data into our SIEM tools. These sources include servers, firewalls, antivirus software, and operating systems. We collect, process and filter these results to determine any threats.
Data Consolidation & Correlation
Our SIEM solutions consolidate, parse and analyze all incoming log files. We then categorize the events based on the raw data and apply any necessary correlation rules by combining individual data events into meaningful security issues and measures.
Policies
Each account will of course have its own profile. We define the parameters of the SIEM and effectively set the rules to detect any issues. We set the normal conditions against any pre-defined security incidents in order to catch a problem before it explodes. SIEM provides default rules, reports, and alerts. We will customize these options to best suit your needs.
Notifications
Lastly, if an event or set of events triggers a SIEM rule, the system notifies security personnel. So the issue gets stopped in its tracks.
Many companies and businesses mandate your site to comply with a cybersecurity framework. This can be vendors, the government, or a client. You will need to be compliant in order to be in business with these partners. So it is imperative to become compliant, otherwise you will lose out on business. But whatever the reason, MSEDP can help! We work with CISSP's to make sure your company is compliant with many different security frameworks, which includes NIST, PCI, ISO 27001/2, and CIS. All of these compliance projects begin with a risk assessment, which MSEDP offers.
The SIEM tools MSEDP uses can help an organization become PCI compliant. This security standard reassures a company’s customers that their credit card and payment data will remain safe from theft or misuse. So everyone involved has a little peace of mind when it comes to the site's security.
A SIEM can meet the following PCI requirements:
Search For Insecure Protocols
Proper SIEM is able to document and justify the use of an organization's allowed services and protocols. On top of that, security information and event management services documents security features implemented for any insecure protocols.
Detect an Unauthorized Network Connection
When you need to be PCI compliant, you need a system that can detect all unauthorized network connections to and from a company's IT assets. MSEDP utilizes effective security information and event management solutions to help manage such a situation.
Traffic Flow Inspection Across DMZ
A demilitarized zone, or DMZ, is a perimeter network that protects an organization's internal local-area network (LAN) from any untrustworthy traffic. For many, a common DMZ is a sub-network that sits between the public internet and private networks. However, PCI compliant organizations need to use a DMZ that effectively manages the connection between an untrusted source like the internet and its web server. As you can imagine, this may be a large undertaking.
Also, any inbound internet traffic to IPs inside the DMZ must be limited. All the while, effective SIEM must also evaluate outgoing traffic. So this is a give and take process of enormous magnitude. Our state-of-the-art security information and event management services can meet these requirements and inspect all the traffic that flows across the DMZ space to and from your internal systems. And report on any and all security issues that arise. So your security system is aware before the threat can take hold and cause problems.
