We may fine-tune it, but it is just there in the background almost invisible, and then they tell you if there is a problem. They still need on-the-ground company staff to actually take the actions needed to shut down a breach. Normally, we don't have to do much unless they indicate that there has been a compromise, which is fairly rare. It is kind of an all-or-nothing thing. They'll help you deal with the problem, but they don't deal with it for you. When they alert you, they need someone to talk to who has administrator access and can deal with the problem. The SOC is basically very low maintenance. In terms of maintenance, it doesn't take too much maintenance. I personally prefer Armor because it just seems more flexible. Armor can also collect O365 and firewall/switch logs if you’d like - you just have to setup the agent to do so. It too is a SOC as a Service just like Arctic Wolf. In terms of duration, if you had all your ducks in a row, it would take a week to wrestle the firewall resources, move cables around, etc. Armor is more focused on File Integrity Monitoring, vulnerability scanning, anti malware, and log collection (SIEM). Arctic Wolf's approach is primarily traffic-based, agent-based alerting, and a little bit of indicators compromise. So, there're many ways to skin the cat, and different companies are taking or have gotten really good at different approaches. They are only looking for those. They are not looking at traffic or agents. I'm sure some focus mostly on just detecting indicators of compromise that they're aware of. Some only have agents, and some have historically been traffic-only. Nowadays, most companies are trying to do both, but some still focus mostly on traffic, and some still focus mostly on agents. If you're monitoring network traffic going out through the firewall, then you would have to tap into the firewall traffic. They put in a couple of appliances, and we have to tie them to our firewall. Its initial setup is fairly straightforward. It has the same agents and same equipment, but it is an additional feature. This is an additional module that isn't part of the primary Arctic Wolf SOC. It gives you a place in the console to manage it. Arctic Wolf Networks is a cybersecurity company that provides security monitoring to detect and respond to cyber threats. You can kind of attack the high-level ones first and work your way down. The service monitors both on-premises and cloud environments to. They also do a brute force scan of all your equipment, acting like a hacker with a scanner, and then in the risk management console, they list all of your current vulnerabilities that have been detected and what level of risk they present. The turnkey service is anchored by Concierge Security engineers and includes a cloud-based SIEM. They scan for vulnerabilities on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis based on your preference. They scan daily for vulnerabilities, and they perform them by using agents. We have also subscribed to an additional feature that they offer for vulnerability management and risk management. It doesn't do it for you, but it gives you good heads up and collects good information to let you hit the ground running instead of having to do the research yourself and maybe miss things. It gives us prescriptive guidance regarding how exactly to install the updates, etc. The security talent to monitor and maintain a SIEM is expensive, scarce and difficult to retain given the shortage of cybersecurity talent.It has provided just a little bit more peace of mind in terms of not having to be constantly on our toes and wondering if something is going on while we're trying to enjoy our weekends. They also require continuous monitoring and constant maintenance to fine-tune network rules. The feedback is that SIEMs are expensive, complex and time-consuming to deploy. In recent years, SMEs have been drawn to SIEM’s benefits, especially given the ongoing shortfalls of point solutions as discussed in our previous blog post, Point Products Are Not Enough. Understanding the Cost and Complexity Restraints Enterprises can also meet compliance obligations via reports generated by a SIEM. They can also fine-tune administrative configurations to snuff out some of the noise associated with modern IT networks. Security analysts then perform advanced analysis of network events and alerts to improve threat detection and response. This includes alerts, which are events that have been flagged as dangerous or suspicious by cybersecurity solutions. The purpose of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions is to aggregate networks events into a single repository so they can undergo real-time analysis. The odds of identifying a legitimate cyberthreat are not in your favor. These originate from applications, endpoints, user actions, servers and a multitude of other IT sources. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may experience millions, if not billions, of network events on any given day. IT networks churn out an extraordinary volume of activity, and this poses a cybersecurity challenge.
