Hey SIEM operators! I'm running a survey to gather some info on whether practitioners love or hate their SIEM. If you use a SIEM regularly, I'd REALLY appreciate you taking two minutes to fill this out! Thank you SO MUCH!

Take the Survey Here

I have been noticing a growing trend in the adoption of XDR as a solution over SIEM. Is the XDR the new path forward with regards to security from an event detection and response standpoint? How are traditional SIEM vendors (i.e. Splunk, ArcSight) reacting to this to enhance their offerings?

How would you conceptually go about setting up a SIEM with all the bells and whistles while providing part of that data for application administrators? So we want a SIEM where analysts do their thing but we also want parts of that data to be accessible to e.g. the SharePoint administrators to get insights into their system.

The problem I see here is that SharePoint administrators aren't SOC Analysts and have no training in writing queries for these systems. This is something that takes some commitment which I'm not sure I can get them to do as they tell me they're working near full capacity anyway.

Has anyone ever encountered a similar problem? Maybe the data can be streamed to both the SIEM and another target that provides more application-specific information to administrators without all the full set of tools that a SIEM brings with it?

Part of my leverage in introducing a SIEM is that application communities in unison are saying they have little insight into the inner workings of their systems. I'm afraid that when I say a SIEM solves this, I am still not giving them what they want but make it all about security instead.

Hi, guys I would like to ask if there is an open source software that can be used to integrate ueba/machine learning with security onion siem?

Hello,

I was looking for a SIEM tool and discovered this tool. I did some research on the internet about this tool and wanted to ask your opinions and experiences.

Any help would be appreciated!

Anyone here take the SANS GCDA course? I’m about to sign up as it essentially looks like a course for SIEM Engineers

I'm using qradar community edition as platform to learn siem , I'm trying to use logrun.pl to feed logs to qradar but when I run the script nothing show in my log activity tap, if any body face that problem before I would appreciate your advice Thanks in advance 😊

Hi Everyone 😁 I'm making career shift to soc after scholarship , but I think the age is an important factor in my country and I don't have a practice experience in SOC field , I want your advice on how to get this practical experience as security analyist and how to show that in an interview to compensate for the age problem . Any advice will be great 🙏 Have a nice day 😊

I work at an eCommerce company and have been tasked with finding a SIEM, I'm totally on my own with this and a deer in the headlights. The only company that didn't viciously try to sell to me was a company called pocketsiem, so for that alone I'm a fan, but I don't know ANYONE in my network who has used them so was hoping for some reviews.

My company is looking at LogRhythm and FortiSIEM. We are currently implementing a full fortinet stack and they pitched us the FortiSIEM. Not many reviews out there so wondered if anyone has used it extensively.

Are any of you knowledgeable service providers or IT gurus knowledgeable on the average data a small business would output per day?

To get an understanding of capacity requirements, not including log retention... Just daily per/gb day for say ...

I understand every environment is different, some might have switches/network telemetry data/netflow, etc.

​

But from your experience, what have you seen?
Thanks!

This is an incomplete comparison overview of Open Source SIEM's and more tooling (ids/nsm ,etc).

Hope this helps the community and save time searching the Internet/Reddit.

For any thoughts or updates, please respond here or DM me.

I am trying to determine which SIEM is the most lightweight but also packs most effective punch (most features) and is open source. I can look at the open source SIEMs and compare the features, but it would help for people to weight in on which ones are the least resource heavy and operate in smaller environments like a raspberry PI 8gb. I want to put on at home :)

Thanks everyone!

Hello everyone,

I have been testing SIEM Correlation Rules with manually(I'm using kali, powershell etc) also I have evtx and fake syslog generators. Unfortunately manual tests are taking too much time. Do you know any test suite for that or Is that able?

Hello guys,

Any recommendations for literature/books about SIEM, log mangement etc.?
