9 Ways To Improve Your SIEM Security Investigations

SIEM technology helps to provide a much needed window into the logging and alerting activity taking place in your environment. However, no SIEM tool is a perfect security solution on its own and requires active involvement from trained teams to diagnose and respond to network events as they occur.

When a SIEM tool detects network or system anomalies, automated processes take over to alert administrators of the issues so that further investigations can take place. These investigations play a crucial role in discovering the root cause of security events as they occur so that they can be adequately addressed and you can avoid a potential breach.

Here are nine ways that your internal team can improve these SIEM investigations and get the most out of your SIEM integration.
