SIEM Roundup: AWS, Elastic, Splunk, and More

Hi, in my opinion, because it is still the best at giving you visibility of what's happening in your IT infrastructure, and at detecting threats. Visibility and detection may seem simple tasks. but actually, they require a lot of capabilities in understanding, integrating, logging, and alarms from a huge multitude of devices. Such tasks go under the line of log ingestion, normalization, etc., and that is far from easy. QRadar has done a lot of work in that direction. Another aspect is event correlation. And here, either you write the correlation rules yourself, spending $$$$ of professional services, and by the way, it'll take forever to test, implement and maintain up to date, or your access to a very long list of preset correlation rules, that are already available and waiting to be activated. Finally, visibility and threat detection is just the beginning of a journey pointed at becoming aware of what's happening in your IT and taking relevant and effective action. There are several other technologies that have to be used to minimize exposure, and contain, and remediate relations to an attack. I believe IBM has a few of those, that can be integrated. But whichever you use at the end of this journey, if the original feed is not correct, not relevant, or not complete, you missed your goal in the first place.My 5 cents :)VS

I´m not sure about this affirmation. There are a lot of other tools used.

The use cases that are widely used across the globe are related to ransomware phishing, lateral movement, et cetera.

IBM QRadar Advisor with Watson is aligned with regards to what's happening in the public space in terms of the Phishing attacks that we are seeing prevalent in the market. In the campaigns that which hackers are trying to obtain information, the use cases are very practical. The solution offers quite a bit of protection.
