Through the 2000s and fast forward to the end of the 2010s, a company's security posture is tantamount to their continuity, what with all the cyber attacks and infiltrations in the last 5 years. Simply put, "learning from your mistakes," is a lesson that hit home in the security industry, which took this simple act of logging and turned it into a powerful diagnostics tool. SIEM, or Security Information and Event Management goes a long way when it comes to real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware. The tech is so critical that it provides a diving board for enterprise security professionals to receive both an insight into and a track record of the activities within their IT environment.However, the fact to be considered is that SIEMs collect security events in real-time from various event and data sources. As Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute states, "SIEM was a place where you pumped in a whole bunch of data and figured out what was suspicious." As attackers became more sophisticated, SIEM systems need to keep up. Many of SIEM's current shortcomings stem from its tough mission of monitoring security and detecting threats across the business, says Gartner vice president Anton Chuvakin. He reiterates, "It's a hard problem to solve, no matter how security pros choose to tackle it."Amos Stern, co-founder and CEO of Siemplify, explains there is need for better SIEM automation and management of people and systems. Businesses often have several security tools in many silos. SIEM systems will need to connect these silos and automate processes and investigations across these tools, evolving to the point where they function as a "Salesforce for security." The SIEM may need a face-lift, but it isn't going anywhere. In the words of Chuvakin, "The future of SIEM will likely be an evolution, and not a revolution."In this edition on SIEM, we at Enterprise Security Magazine, have curated vertical specific articles penned by several industrial experts.
