SIEM/SOAR Implementation

Firewalls, network appliances, systems, applications, and intrusion detection systems generate an immense amount of event-related data—more data than security teams can reasonably expect to interpret. There are two main tools that can help: SIEM and SOAR.

What is SIEM?

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) helps security teams make sense of all the data by collecting, aggregating, and categorizing incidents and events.

Custom SIEM reports are implemented to provide a graphical view of an organization’s security status and anomalous activities.

What is SOAR

Alternatively, a Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) is designed to help security teams manage and respond to endless alarms at machine speeds.

SOAR platforms take things even further by combining comprehensive data gathering, case management, standardization, workflow, and analytics to provide organizations the ability to implement sophisticated defense-in-depth capabilities.

Our Process

We will first work with your organization to define and implement incident response workflows that incorporate everything from ticket creation to case closure.

Next, we review opportunities to automate repeatable tasks such as ticket creation, event correlation & routing, and closure & escalation. The objective in this latter step is not just to automate tasks but to leverage the SOAR in actively reducing the number of security events that are presented to their security teams by the system.

Finally, and only where appropriate, we will seek to implement orchestrated kill chains, automatically turning off systems and services where disruption from an attack is imminent.

SIEM/SOAR implementations are the most confusing and time-consuming exercises for security teams. Accord avoids “trial and error” tuning by starting with a coherent list of devices, systems, and applications from which data is to be gathered. We also work with system owners to set appropriate logging levels to ensure that the data we ingest is useful in meeting our Client’s security objectives.
