SIEM as a service, features extraordinary ability to identify security events and analyze them quickly.

Small and medium sized organizations can’t afford that much work force on cyber security because they don’t have all the resources to operate this service.

Why outsource the security?

It’s not easy to operate and maintain SIEM service efficiently if you don’t have the expertise. You should go for hiring third party services to look after your security needs. Because it takes a detailed and regular monitoring of the system. They will keep check only on the services and data that you want the security for. Relevant data is produced in multiple locations to secure all the data from a single point of view.

Be smart before deploying SIEM System

Organizations need to know exactly what they want to monitor so that the concerned vendor be approached. Your smart choice will make it easy for the vendor to install the service that will provide relevant protection. It could be your database server or any security product.

After smartly deploying the SIEM system, you have to keep a constant watch on its progress in reacting to any kind of threat. Threats continue to evolve and that is why SIEM system requires maintenance on a regular basis to ensure information security. It is therefore recommended to outsource the service to a third party who is expert in handling hundreds of organizations with a team of 20-30 people.
