ENTERPRISE APPROACH TO SECURE EVENT MANAGEMENT DRIVEN BY STAKEHOLDERS

Securing today’s enterprise is a daunting task. Many of the diverse stake holders, from IT security and operations to compliance and risk management, bring different demands and sometimes competing perspectives regarding how the enterprise should be secured. Security intelligence services also range widely; they include Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), log management, anomaly detection, incident forensics and configuration and vulnerability management.

Capabilities must enable high-performance event processing and iterative analysis of event data. This information must also include contextual data and threat intelligence in combination with profiling/anomaly detection. An optimal solution must also provide a unified architecture that delivers configurable, policy-based automation, correlation, alerts and reporting for there to be consistent, efficient and effective management to secure assets, data, reputation and brand.

An enterprise approach to Secure Event Management needs to be disciplined and driven by requirements aligned by the different stakeholders. Organizations need to consider deployment scale, real-time monitoring, post-capture analytics and compliance reporting requirements. In addition, organizations should identify solutions whose deployment and support requirements are good matches to internal project, operations and support capabilities.
