Tips for choosing the right SIEM solution
As with any enterprise tech solution, it’s important to spend time doing your research and POC, so that you know that you’re spending on the right product. We sifted through some of our users’ answers to summarize some of the best tips.
- Define your goal
Before starting to evaluate solutions, It’s important to define what you want to accomplish with a SIEM. Marty Baron says, “Every SIEM has different strengths and weaknesses so you need to know what is most important to you in terms of goals, so you don’t waste time looking at something that can’t do the thing you need it to do.”
- Limit your options
As one of your users says, “Review a finite number of products, otherwise you’ll never finish”. Although it’s important to spend time doing due diligence, you need to get to the point of implementation. If you have too many options, it will take too long to make a decision. Users suggest making a shortlist of options that meet your technical requirements, speak to your goal, and match your budget
- Create a framework for your POC
Once you’ve narrowed down your options, it’s time to trial the shortlisted products. Users recommend putting a framework in place to guide the POC. This way, you can evaluate your options systematically.
One user, DAX Paulino, suggests “creat[ing] a checklist of features that you need, from the basic (i.e. interactive dashboards, ease of integration, Threat Intelligence), to the more advanced (i.e. Automated response, Behavior Analytics, etc.). Give each item on your checklist a score so that you can weigh in on each item as a measure of your decision. Don’t forget to factor in usability and support.”
