In today’s threat landscape, organisations need robust security measures to safeguard their valuable data and systems. That’s where SIEM comes in.
SIEM stands for Security Information and Event Management. It is a comprehensive technology solution that combines security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM) into a comprehensive system to help organisations to identify and mitigate potential security threats. However, selecting and deploying the right SIEM tool can be challenging, not to mention the cost and effort required to build and manage an in-house SIEM team.
An effective SIEM strategy combines multi-layered threat protection with industry wide intelligence and expert cyber analyst expertise. It can be daunting to select and deploy the right SIEM tool, and expensive to recruit, train, build and manage your own in-house team to undertake the SIEM monitoring. That’s why many organisations are now choosing to outsource their SIEM activity to a MSSP (Managed Security Services Provider) such as Infosec Partners.
By contracting out SIEM management to an external cyber security services partner, your organisation will be able to realise several strategic benefits. Whilst the primary business case for outsourcing SIEM management may centre on improving your cyber security posture for less, the advantages and benefits of a Managed SIEM Service go beyond that. From assisting in vendor/platform selection, to fast deployment, to fostering a flexible and agile relationship, your organisation can leverage tremendous value from an MSSP offering a Managed SIEM Service.
