Logging & Monitoring

Security monitoring (SIEM)

Logs from everywhere end up in one place, with alerts that someone actually sees.

What it is

Collection and correlation of logs from identity, endpoints, network, cloud and applications, to detect attacks and support investigations.

How to value it

Without central logs you cannot tell how an attacker got in, what they touched or whether personal data left, and those are the questions regulators ask within days. A SIEM turns scattered logs into detections and evidence, but it needs maintained detection content and people to be worth its cost.

Questions to ask a vendor

  1. 1How is pricing calculated (data volume, users, assets), and how predictable is it?
  2. 2Which detections come out of the box, and how are they kept current?
  3. 3How long is data kept, and can we search it quickly during an incident?
  4. 4Can it automate common responses?

For your risk register

Risk
Attacks go unnoticed, and incidents cannot be investigated or reported in time.
Control
SIEM with the core log sources and maintained detections.
Owner
Security operations lead.
Measure
Share of critical systems sending logs.

A starting point: set the owner and measure to fit your organisation.

Vega

Agentic Detection

Detection rules that run across security data in the stores where it already lives, so logs do not have to be moved into a central SIEM first.

How we list vendors

  • A product is listed because it provides the control. Nobody pays to be listed, and on story pages the examples rotate, so no vendor is always first.
  • Vendor pages show both the vendor's own research and the incidents involving its products, from our own coverage. We do not leave either out.
  • Our summaries are written by us, based on the vendors' own pages. Text in quotation marks or marked "in their own words" is the vendor's own, quoted from its website.
  • Logos, product names and quoted text belong to the vendors and are shown to identify them.
  • Something wrong? Use "Suggest a correction" on the vendor's page. A product we should look at? Email support@threatnoir.com.
