SIEM/SOC
Home > Security > SIEM/SOC
Overview
Just when it seems the cyberspace couldn’t get more dangerous, credible reports show an almost 70% increase in cloud incidents over the previous year. What more can you do to prepare? CETC Security experts understand the challenges presented by security skill gaps and the patchwork of security tools and software that often passes for a cybersecurity solution, but is full of holes and vulnerabilities. Worse yet, it can be virtually impossible to gain a 360°view at any one time.
​
CETC recommends a combined approach leveraging security information and event management (SIEM) and Security Operations Center (SOC). While both have a common goal of protecting and securing the organization's digital assets, they differ in their approach, scope, and implementation. Working with CETC security experts, you will gain an understanding of the differences and the complementary nature of SIEM and SOC and how this two-pronged solution helps businesses develop robust and modern cybersecurity strategies.
CETC SIEM-SOC Solution
SIEM is a software solution that collects, aggregates, and analyzes data from various security tools and systems within an organization's IT infrastructure. It helps identify potential threats, monitors security events and incidents, and provides real-time alerts to enable swift remediation.
CETC SIEM-SOC Solution - Functionality
Log Management
Collects and stores logs from multiple sources, including firewalls, servers, and applications.
Correlation and Analysis
Identifies patterns, detects anomalies, and recognizes potential threats based on the collected data.
Incident Management
Generates alerts, enables prioritization, and supports remediation for security incidents.
Compliance Reporting
Assists in meeting regulatory and compliance requirements by generating reports and maintaining audit trails.
SOC Services Solution - Functionality
A SOC is a centralized unit comprising a team of CETC security experts responsible for the continuous monitoring, management, and response to security incidents within an organization.
24/7 Monitoring
Provides round-the-clock surveillance of an organization's IT infrastructure and security systems.
Incident Response
Manages security incidents, conducts investigations, and coordinates response efforts to mitigate threats.
Threat Intelligence
Gathers and analyzes information about emerging threats and potential attack vectors.
Proactive Defense
Implements proactive measures to prevent security incidents and minimize potential risks.
CETC Differentiators
While traditional SIEM and SOC both contribute to an organization's cybersecurity, they are lacking in some key areas that CETC offers, particularly Threat Analysis.
​
A well-rounded security strategy often involves a combination of SIEM, SOC, and Threat Analysis where SIEM solutions provide the necessary data and insights for the SOC team to take appropriate actions.
Organizations need to consider their security requirements, resources, and budget when deciding on the most effective combination of security solutions.
