It’s Time for the Traditional SIEM to Die – Eric Capuano – ESW #323
InfoSec might have a hoarding problem, but it’s easy to understand why. It’s almost impossible to know what logs you’re doing to need, when you’re going to need them, or for what reason. SIEM vendors have taken advantage of these InfoSec data hoarding tendencies, however, and are making a killing charging a premium for storage - even when the storage in question is your own on-prem hardware. There ARE alternatives, however, but it seems most folks aren’t aware of this.
In this interview with Eric Capuano, we’ll discuss both the practical and economic shortcomings of the traditional SIEM model. We’ll discuss the challenges of various SIEM use cases. Most importantly, we’ll discuss the new models actively replacing them.
(No, they’re not branded as next-gen SIEMs)
Eric is the CTO and co-founder of Recon InfoSec. He is also a certified SANS instructor of Digital Forensics and Incident Response, and a former Cyber Warfare Operator in the Texas Air National Guard.
