The document discusses the limitations of traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems in managing security operations, highlighting issues such as overwhelming alerts, insufficient correlation rules, and inadequate investigation capabilities. It emphasizes the need for a more integrated approach to security operations, suggesting that Siemplify Nexus could provide an effective solution by offering a user-friendly environment for managing security incidents and facilitating better incident response. Overall, the document advocates for improved tools to assist security operation centers (SOCs) in real-time threat analysis and mitigation.

- 3. Introduction SIEMs are mandatory tools for forensic security teams, aggregating logs from a multitude of sources, exploring within a dataset, and auditing thoroughly. But anyone who’s tried to run their security operations solely on a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), knows all too well its limitations:
- 4. Hard to Connect The Dots One of the major challenges when using security monitoring and analytics tools is how to deal with the high number of alerts and false positives. Even when the most straightforward policies are applied, SIEMs end up alerting on far too many incidents response that are neither malicious nor urgent.
- 5. Insufficient Correlation Rules The out-of-the-box, correlation rules of traditional SIEM solutions are insufficient to address the needs of today’s organizations. They need to be extensively configured to meet the unique requirement of the organization. This a time-consuming task requiring significant technical understanding of the organization’s cybersecurity infrastructure.
- 7. Challenging User-Experience Using SIEM dashboards, SOC teams should be able to view and analyze event information in real-time. However, as the organization’s network expand and data accumulates, security professionals are unable to see the log’s origin, user identities, user activities, and if they could be a potential threat.
- 8. Limited Investigation Capabilities In some cases, SIEMs are able to combine event data with contextual information such as, details of a user, assets, known threats, and specific vulnerabilities. This provides crucial knowledge about security events. However, SIEMs are not actually built to support the natural research flow in the case of an attack.
- 9. Lack Of Built-in Mitigation Tools SOC teams need to be notified about incidents, properly analyze them and take remedial actions in real-time. Traditional SIEM solutions do not provide actionable data and investigation tools to support SOC teams and lead them through the mitigation process.
- 11. Conclusion Although SIEM correlation rules consolidate events into a single alert, the SOC team still needs to explore each endpoint to get more information about the incident. Once the attack is revealed, the security team needs to access the FTP servers and check the firewall log, the DLP system status and the EventVwr of the targeted servers and more. Addressing this challenge with one intelligent, easy-to-use environment for all security operations is what Siemplify Nexus is all about.
