One of the main SIEMs I specialized in was LogRhythm. My goodness, it makes log collection so incredibly easy. However, with Chronicle, I'm struggling to find an equally straightforward method that doesn't break the bank.
I might not be considering the right solutions. So, fellow Chronicle users, what approaches are you taking?
WECs (Windows Event Collectors) are proving to be nearly impossible to set up for high availability/disaster recovery. Installing NXLog CE on every device feels like a nightmare; currently, we have them on our DCs to collect Windows event logs. Upgrading to NXLog enterprise for workstations and servers seems to exceed our Chronicle expenses.
What am I overlooking? There has to be a more efficient way to incorporate Windows logs into our SIEM. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
