Depending on what SIEM you choose, and how you approach the process, getting to operational and effective can take days, or months, or a lot longer.
Here are the Gartner report’s key findings:
- “Ineffective security information and event management (SIEM) deployments occur when requirements and use cases are not aligned with the organization’s risks and risk tolerance.”
- “Clients deploying SIEM solutions continue to take an unstructured approach when deciding which event and data sources to onboard, with the goal of getting every source in from the beginning. This leads to long and complex implementations, cost overruns, and higher probabilities of stalled or failed implementations.”
- “SIEM buyers struggle to choose between on-premises, cloud, or hybrid deployments due to the complexities created by the various environments that need to be monitored, e.g., on-premises, SaaS, cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS), remote workers.”
SIEM centralizes and visualizes your security data to help you identify anomalies in your environment. But nearly all SIEMs require you to do a ton of customizing and configuration. Nearly all disappoint with their detections. And nearly all will exhaust you with false-positive alerts… every hour of every day… until analysts start ignoring alerts, which will surely doom you someday.
Now, here’s what we think
