Focus on 5 SIEM requirements

Solve the bigger business issues

Published September 2014

After more than a decade functioning in production environments, security information and event management (SIEM) solutions are now considered mature. Capabilities such as event collection, correlation, alerting, and demonstrating compliance with regulatory mandates are table stakes, and most SIEM solutions address these needs. But the landscape is changing. Organizations face new threats such as targeted and persistent attacks, new trends like mobile, cloud, and virtualization, and shifting business priorities around customer acquisition, operational efficiencies and cost savings. As a result, SIEM use cases require more advanced capabilities to solve bigger business issues.
