01
VISIBILITY & INSIGHTS
See everything. Act on Anything.
SIEM gives your security operations centre a unified view of every event across your environment. SOAR turns those insights into action.
01
Security Information & Event Management
SIEM is a security solution that collects, analyzes, and correlates logs and events from different systems to detect and respond to potential security threats in real time.
The central brain of the SOC. It gives visibility across the entire IT environment from one place.
SIX KEY ASPECTS
What SIEM brings together
Scroll to move through all six, from log collection to compliance reporting.
01
Log Collection
02
Event Correlation
03
Real-Time Monitoring
04
Alerting
05
Centralized Visibility
06
Compliance Reporting
01
Log Collection
Gathers logs from endpoints, servers, firewalls, applications, and network devices.
02
Event Correlation
Connects related events to identify suspicious patterns or attacks.
03
Real-Time Monitoring
Continuously monitors activities across systems.
04
Alerting
Generates alerts when potential threats or anomalies are detected.
05
Centralized Visibility
Provides a single dashboard for all security events.
06
Compliance Reporting
Helps generate reports for audits and regulatory requirements.

HOW SIEM WORKS
Six stages, raw log to response
01
Data Collection
Collects logs and events from multiple sources across endpoints, networks, and applications.
02
Normalization
Converts different log formats into a standard format for analysis.
03
Correlation and Analysis
Analyzes events and identifies patterns that may indicate threats.
04
Alert Generation
Triggers an alert when suspicious activity is detected.
05
Investigation
Security teams analyze alerts and determine if they are real threats.
06
Response Integration
Works with tools like EDR or SOAR to respond to incidents.
COMMON USE CASES
What teams use it for
01
Detecting unauthorized access or insider threats
Spotting access that should not be happening, from outside or inside.
→
02
Monitoring suspicious login attempts
Watching for login anomalies across systems and users.
→
03
Investigating incidents and breaches
Tracing what happened, in what order, and through which systems.
→
04
Centralizing logs for visibility and control
One place for the records every system produces.
→
05
Supporting compliance
Producing what audits ask for under GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

BEST PRACTICES
Keeping SIEM useful
01
Collect From Everything Critical
→
Collect logs from all critical systems and endpoints.
02
Keep Detection Logic Current
→
Regularly update correlation rules and detection logic.
03
Reduce False Positives
→
Fine-tune alerts so the real signals stay visible.
04
Integrate With Your Stack
→
Connect SIEM with EDR, SOAR, and threat intelligence tools.
05
Monitor and Respond Continuously
→
Monitor alerts continuously and respond quickly.
06
Retain Logs Properly
→
Keep logs available for auditing and investigation.
BENEFITS
What it changes for you
01
Improved Threat Detection
Identifies complex and hidden attacks.
02
Centralized Visibility
A single view of all security events.
03
Faster Incident Response
Enables quicker detection and action.
04
Compliance Support
Simplifies audit and reporting processes.
05
Better Security Insights
Helps understand attack patterns and risks.
02
Security Orchestration, Automation & Response
SOAR is a security solution that integrates different security tools, automates repetitive tasks, and helps respond to incidents faster and more efficiently. It is commonly used in the SOC to reduce manual work and improve response time.
SIX KEY ASPECTS
What SOAR puts in place
01
Orchestration
Connects and coordinates different security tools including SIEM, EDR, and firewalls.
02
Automation
Automates repetitive tasks like alert handling, ticket creation, and data collection.
03
Incident Response
Executes predefined actions through playbooks to respond to threats quickly.
04
Playbooks and Workflows
Standardized step-by-step processes for handling specific incidents.
05
Case Management
Tracks and manages security incidents from detection to resolution.
06
Integration
Works with multiple security platforms for a unified response.
COMMON USE CASES
Seven jobs it takes off your team
01
Phishing Response
Automatically detects phishing emails, blocks the sender, and removes the email from user inboxes. It can also alert users and create a report for the security team, reducing the risk of anyone clicking a harmful link.
02
Alert Triage
Organizes and prioritizes alerts from different tools, filtering out false positives and highlighting real threats so the team can focus on what matters first.
03
Incident Response Automation
Responds to common incidents automatically, such as blocking an IP address, isolating a device, or disabling a user account.
04
Threat Intelligence Enrichment
Collects additional information about threats from different sources and adds context to alerts, helping the team judge severity.
05
User Account Compromise
If an account is suspected to be compromised, SOAR can reset passwords, lock the account, and notify the user and security team.
06
Malware Detection and Response
When malware is detected, SOAR can isolate the affected device, remove the file, and alert the team.
07
Vulnerability Management Support
Helps track vulnerabilities and automates tasks like assigning tickets or notifying teams to fix issues.
SEVEN BEST PRACTICES
Start small, keep playbooks clear, and automate what your team repeats every day.
BEST PRACTICES
How to roll SOAR out
01
Start With Clear Use Cases
Begin with simple and common cases like phishing response or alert triage, so the team learns how SOAR works before handling complex incidents.
02
Build Simple and Clear Playbooks
Create step-by-step workflows that are easy to follow. Clear playbooks help ensure consistent and accurate responses.
03
Automate Repetitive Tasks First
Focus on tasks done often, such as sending alerts, creating tickets, or collecting data.
04
Integrate With Existing Tools
Connect SOAR with EDR, SIEM, and email security for better data sharing and faster response.
05
Test and Improve Regularly
Test playbooks and workflows to make sure they work, and update them based on new threats or team feedback.
06
Train the Security Team
Proper training helps avoid mistakes and improves response efficiency.
07
Monitor Performance and Results
Track how fast incidents are handled and how effective the response is, then use that data to improve.
BENEFITS
Where the time comes back
04
Better Consistency
Standardized response using playbooks.
