Security Engineer at CSOC
Automation has improved detection workflows and provides real-time visibility across all logs
Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 could be improved in terms of integration of Windows log sources. Rapid 7 SIEM has a feature whereby I can integrate Active Directory. However, when I want to integrate system logs, application logs, and everything from my event viewer, Rapid 7 does not have a customized feature for that. Most times, I have to leverage NXLog, which is not ideal. It would be better to have a ready-to-go plugin for it. Additionally, for InsightConnect, an orchestrator, sometimes when I am integrating with third-party ticketing solutions, SNMP might give me issues. Finally, the TLS feature of Rapid 7 is a bit unreliable.

Modern desktop delivery has become smoother and integration with current clients works reliably
In Switzerland, my clients, particularly in the banking sector, are cautious about moving data to the cloud due to legal concerns about US access. Therefore, some companies prefer keeping their data on premises to avoid compromising security.Currently, I primarily work on-premises, operating exclusively within shared hardware data centers and not utilizing cloud services such as Azure or AWS. We have experimented with Azure for some testing installations, but the overall costs associated with cloud services raise concerns. While we employ cloud solutions for backup, our infrastructure remains on-premises. For the product itself, Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages earns a solid rating of seven or eight from me because it is user-friendly to work with. My main frustration lies in the mandatory updates and newly introduced security features that complicate third-party software operations.
