Security Incident and Event Managers (SIEM) are a key tool for any good security program. The problem? SIEMs are often improperly implemented, lack proper configuration and tuning, and are not staffed properly. This leaves organizations with an expensive tool that doesn’t provide much of a return. From a financial and a value standpoint, small- and medium-sized organizations are better off partnering with an outsourced Security Operations Center (SOC).
