Ten Must-Have Features of a Modern SIEM

White Paper

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is at the heart of many security teams’ ability to identify and manage threats. Unfortunately, its technological roots are almost two decades old and are showing their age.

The importance of a Security Information and Event Management solution is beyond debate. But the topic of how well a legacy SIEM addresses modern threats and operational requirements is a subject worthy of annual review in every large organization. Exabeam believes the strategy of coddling old technology and limiting the amount of operational data analyzed by a legacy SIEM is a sure recipe for successful breaches. Moving to the next generation of SIEM technology and using a solution that easily analyzes all event information for a fixed direct cost is a safer path to security threat detection and response.

This white paper presents ten must-have features of an innovative and effective SIEM capable of handling evolving threats. These new capabilities enable four crucial areas of functionality for effectively processing events related to security: collect, detect, investigate and respond.
