Analytics is an essential component of a modern SIEM solution. The ability to crunch large volumes of log and security data in order to extract meaningful insight can lead to improvements in security posture. Vendors love to tell you all about features and how their particular product is so much better than the competition.
Yeah, right!
The fact is, many products are available and most of them have comparable features. While software is a necessary part of the analytics process, it’s less critical than product marketing hype would have you believe.
As Meta Brown noted in Forbes, “Your own thought processes – the effort you put in to understand the business problem, investigate the data available, and plan a methodical approach to analysis – can do much more to simplify your work and maximize your chance for success than any product could.”
Techies just love to show off their tech macho. They can’t get together without arguing about the power of their code, speed of their response or the size of their clusters.
The reality? Once you invested in any of the comparable products, it’s the person behind the wheel that makes all the difference.
If you suffer from skill shortage, our remote managed SIEM Simplified solution may be for you.
