Managed SIEM MSIEM AlienVault and Managed Security Services MSSP

The Managed SIEM (MSIEM) for AlienVault SIEM service provides an optimized re-implementation of a customer owned SIEM (on premise or SIEMaaS), with 24X7X365 monitoring by expert security engineers, custom parsers, alerts with advanced correlation rules that filter out false positives and which can detect anomalous user behavior (UBA) and anomalous network behavior (NBAD), useful security health dashboards, and optional incident response and remediation services. Companies in need of real security solutions designed for their specific environments cannot rely on a template based Managed SIEM services implemented by the masses. Managed SIEM providers forwarding non-sense alerts using off the shelf defaults and without performing deeper analysis and investigation, is not going to solve any company’s security problems.
 
Our Managed SIEM service is designed to provide AlienVault customers with a professionally configured SIEM which corrects parsing of end points and security tools that will accurately identify threats, deliver reliable actionable intel and other desired security services needed to ease security concerns of IT assets and sensitive data.
 
A successful SIEM will unify IT security defenses with other relevant logs into a centralized security platform. Our AlienVault security engineers leverage their SIEM implementation experience, by adding advanced parsers that extract and map all needed data from raw logs correctly, apply correlation rules, continuously optimize alert to reduce false positives, add security AI and IOC content from external threat feeds, identify threats from anomalous network and user behavior, enhance logs with useful customer environment data, and constantly edit configuration to automate tasks to protect IT assets. Our Managed SIEM as a Service experts are ideal for implementing new AlienVault deployments or fixing and optimizing existing implementations, no matter what country the SIEM is located in or the deployment type (on premise or in the Cloud).
 
Using the AlienVault Fully Managed SIEM service reduces risks and costs, speeds implementations, improves security posture, ensures operational efficiencies, and helps maintain regulatory compliance. Companies using a Managed SIEM service will also have peace of mind knowing security experts are monitoring their sensitive data and IT assets. Fully Managed SIEM as a Service offerings for AlienVault, QRadar, Splunk and Exabeam often include a fixed set of standard services and can include various optional security functions, such as custom parsers and alert rules (tuning and optimization for existing deployments), monitoring and analyzing alerts, deep dive threat hunting, vulnerability scanning, provide recommendations for containment and remediation or perform remediation, creating rules to automate preventive measures on owned firewalls, IDS, IPS and other security defenses, and deliver root cause analysis reports with additional security AI and context about security threats and incidents.
 
Common reasons a SIEM will fail:
  • Event logs are incomplete
  • Event logs are not parsed correctly
  • Alerts are not tuned to exclude false positives
  • Alerts are not updated with security intelligence from external threat feeds

Any of these reasons can lead to a security breach and costly inefficiencies.  Ignoring and delaying patches, updates and other routine security and maintenance tasks will also cause threats to wreak havoc, which regular scanning will help identify. The AlienVault Managed SIEM as a Service is a great way to get existing implementations healthy and fined tuned. The MSIEM for AlienVault can also be used to supplement staffing and train operators. Increasing volumes and the sophistication of threats are significantly increasing the importance of a healthy SIEM. A qualified security engineer will not only reduce the number of staff required to man a SIEM, but will also configure the SIEM so it requires less staff. Companies and industries with valuable assets typically attract highly skilled attackers and have significantly more attacks, which further compounds the importance of a SIEM.

Any of these reasons may be a good reason to consider a Managed SIEM as a Service is the only viable option.

Managed SIEM Services Process:

  • 24X7X365 monitoring of alerts, alert opens ticket in ServiceNow with alert details.
  • SOC engineer assesses alert and combines related alerts to same ticket. Alerts are categorized and responded to in order of criticalness, according to impact on business.
  • Offense data is extrapolated from alert into Incident Response Platform to quickly analyze

Our SOC operators continuously optimize customer’s AlienVault SIEM (on customer premises or in the Cloud) to trigger alerts for real security threats to achieve zero false negative goal. The AlienVault SOC team does not simply forward alerts like other MSSPs, they identify all associated log sources that should be included in the incident, as well as investigate the raw logs to confirm the SIEM is receiving and correlating all the data correctly. SIEM alerts are fully investigated with deep threat hunting, network and user anomalies are analyzed for malicious intent, incident responses are initiated for remediating threats, and containment and protective actions can be implemented at client’s request.

SIEM operator experience is critical, but just as important is expertise with your security defenses. Our security engineers are experts on many vendor product lines, and can make proactive configurations changes upon customer’s authorization. Our security engineers can ensure all necessary security changes are implemented to stop the threat in its tracks and prevent similar breaches from occurring in the future. All relevant incident content discovered and created is provided to the customer, including recommended remediation steps. Our AlienVault SIEM and security engineers will work as an extension to your IT staff or work alongside them to co-managed security and simply provide assistance.

All customer data and event logs remain in customer’s environment (on premises, on customer owned cloud or like infrastructure that has already been procured by customer). All AlienVault SIEM patches, upgrades and other maintenance task are managed by our SIEM operators. All MSIEM contracts and SOW’s are written based on customer requirements.
