Comparison of SIEM Solutions 
For  Comprehensive 
Cybersecurity
by Pushpendra Mishra |
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) has been a critical technology 
part of an  organization’s security posture for a long time to protect against 
cyberthreats ranging from  insider threats, denial of service to advanced threats. The 
adoption of SIEM solutions is only  growing and as per Gartner Forecast Analysis: 
Forecast Analysis: Information Security,  Worldwide, 1Q18 Update, the 
global information security market is forecast to grow at a  CAGR of 7.8% to reach 
$143.3 billion in 2022 with security testing, IT outsourcing and SIEM  being among 
the fastest-growing security subsegments driving growth in the infrastructure  
protection and security services segments. According to Gartner, no single 
technology, such as,  CLM, UEBA, NTA, SOAR or EDR can replace the entire set of SIEM 
capabilities. Additionally,  Global  Security  Information  and  Event  Management  Market  
2017-2021,  estimates that  the SIEM market will grow at more than 12 percent 
CAGR over the next four years to $5.93  billion by 2021. Since inception the promise 
of SIEM has been:
Comprehensive visibility into Network, Endpoints, Data and 
Applications  Correlation across point security solutions
Contextual intelligence for response 
actions  Streamlined compliance 
reporting
Effective analytics and pertinent 
information for the security teams
Legacy SIEM: The Good, The Bad, and 
The Ugly
Even though SIEMs do a good job of centralized analysis and reporting  by  
aggregating,  indexing and storing logs from different data sources, correlating 
this information for incident  investigation, and compliance reporting through 
analysis of historical data, yet most  organizations today fail to derive the best 
value out of SIEM because of its implementation  complexity, operational 
challenges, and total cost of ownership (TCO). Further, increased attack  surface 
with the adoption of hybrid cloud networks, sophisticated threat vectors and high  
volume of incidents, compliance laws getting more stringent, limited security 
budget and  security skill shortage, businesses  today need  SIEM technology that 
is driven by analytics,  behavioral analysis for current & historical context, 
automates certain SIEM-generated tasks,  provides greater visibility of network trafc 
moving across the organization, and understands  and analyzes threat indicators to 
improve the overall security posture.
Modern SIEM vs. Seceon aiSIEM

To circumvent the challenges of traditional SIEM platforms, Gartner de nes the 
modern SIEM  (read: SIEM Technology Assessment) to work with more than just log 
data and apply more  than simple correlation rules for data analysis. Some of the 
key capabilities include, large-scale  and more robust data collection from cloud and 
other modern IT data sources, collect &  analyze logs and data from networks & 
endpoints, incorporate threat intelligence feeds for  correlation and enrichment, 
enhanced data analytics beyond rules, fast and scalable search  over volumes of 
raw data and, most importantly, automated response.
Seceon® aiSIEM is a modern security information and event management platform 
built on  Big/Fast Data Architecture that visualizes, detects and eliminates threats in 
real-time with  continuous security posture improvement, compliance monitoring 
and reporting, and policy  management. It is a powerful complement to 
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) empowering  Enterprises and MSSPs to detect and 
eliminate all known and unknown cyber threats in real-  time and uses elastic 
compute power, dynamic threat models, behavioral analytics, advanced  machine 
learning (ML), AI with actionable intelligence with proprietary feature engineering 
and  anomaly detection algorithms without a need for daily tuning. It goes beyond 
using the log  data, simple analysis for correlation of events and applying rules to 
enhance an organization’s  security posture and provides a zero-trust security in a 
digital era, while dramatically lowering  SOC operational cost.
The key salient features of aiSIEM solution are:
Robust, large-scale data collection from cloud and all data sources (network, 
endpoints,  identities, etc.) in streaming platform, which scales to billions of events 
handling per second  with context
Analyzes logs & data and incorporates threat intelligence feeds for  correlation 
and  enrichment
Enhanced data analytics beyond rules with contextual real-time alerts for 
“threats-that-  matter” and automated response
Simpli  ed licensing for comprehensive threat detection
Scalable architecture with support for multi-tenancy & data segregation
To highlight the differences, here’s a simple comparison chart based on Gartner’s 
denition of  modern SIEM. I have included the Legacy SIEM in the chart to provide 
a clear perspective on
where we are coming from and where we are going.
