Cloud SIEM

Cloud SIEM Enterprise is a cloud-native security operations center (SOC) solution that automatically analyzes and correlates threat alert data to help SOC analysts more efficiently discover and resolve meaningful threats.

Cloud SIEM with SOC analytics and automation

Today’s SOC teams are fatigued and under pressure from overwhelming alert volume. Many SOCs were built around legacy solutions designed with SIEM technology invented years, even decades ago. With the threat landscape evolving at an unprecedented rate, SOC teams are limited by these technology restrictions and unable to keep pace with the volume and sophistication of modern attacks.

Our Cloud SIEM Enterprise solution is modernizing security operations by giving analysts prioritized and contextualized threat data. This removes common technology limitations that burden a SOC’s efficiency and ability to mitigate risk.

The solution is automating the manual work for the security analyst, saving them time and enabling them to be more effective by focusing on higher-value security functions.

Cloud-Native Architecture

Enterprise SIEM solutions must scale in order to meet data ingestion needs and on-prem SIEM deployments are often under- or over-provisioned. Cloud-based or cloud-hosted SIEM tools are often simple migrations of an on-prem SIEM application’s code with a few modifications. The resulting product doesn’t support the full capabilities of a true cloud-native architecture.

In contrast, our Cloud SIEM Enterprise solution is delivered via Sumo Logic’s secure, cloud-native, multi-tenant platform. It provides elastic scalability for all of your on-prem, multi-cloud, and hybrid data sources and automatically scales to collect and analyze data during peak ingestion and bursting periods. As a cloud-neutral SIEM solution, it offers flexibility and freedom for customers to bring in their data, wherever it lives, without fear of vendor lock-in.

Cloud SIEM Enterprise capabilities

Everything in the Cloud SIEM Enterprise user interface and workflow is designed for simplicity and ease of use by security analysts.

Alert analytics generating Signals from logs

Cloud SIEM Enterprise provides a convergence of data sources, collecting millions of logs and security-relevant data from cloud, on-premises, and hybrid architectures. Cloud SIEM Enterprise uses pattern and threat intelligence matching with correlation logic, statistical evaluation, and anomaly detection to filter the raw records down to thousands of Signals in near real-time.

Correlation-based detection

Insights represent the intelligent, correlated, and prioritized clustering of Signals and other data enrichments for analysts to immediately investigate. Insights dramatically decrease validation and investigation times by presenting an automatically generated storyline of potential security incidents containing all of the relevant context analysts require to make rapid response decisions.

Automated prioritization and alert triage

Insights are generated by the Adaptive Signal Clustering (ASC) engine using principles modeled on the actions of world-class SOC analysts to group related Signals worthy of human review. This provides analysts with the identification and context of an attack and its movements, including multiple low-severity Signals that often fly below the radar. ASC engine algorithms are continuously improved as customers identify patterns, validate Signals and Insights, or add new searches—thereby increasing confidence levels and benefiting all Cloud SIEM Enterprise users.

Security telemetry beyond logs: network, user, asset and APIs

Cloud SIEM Enterprise includes collectors beyond just logs. Our open-source Zeek network security monitor performs deep packet inspection and reassembles network traffic flows into rich protocol-level network sessions, extracted files, and security context. Using the Cloud SIEM Enterprise console, analysts can see raw network traffic details, related connections and protocol activity, and gain visibility into East/West network traffic. Cloud SIEM Enterprise collects asset information for users and devices—including info natively from Active Directory—to deliver additional context like anomalous activities by users and devices. Cloud SIEM Enterprise’s deep library of native cloud API integrations can pull security telemetry directly from sources (e.g. Carbon Black, Okta, AWS GuardDuty, Office 365) simply using an API key.

Cloud SIEM Enterprise Benefits

Enhanced visibility: Delivers context across users, networks, devices, alerts, cloud services and applications while prioritizing the information needed to speed response times.

Improved productivity: Automates the manual, repetitive validation tasks that limit efficiency, freeing analysts to make advancements in identifying new threats.

Unlimited scalability: Supports growth with a cloud native, open source and big data architecture.

Focused workflows: Enables analysts to perform high value risk-reduction activities like threat hunting, response, and remediation.

Advanced insights: Automatically groups related threat Signals into Insights, alleviating manual triage efforts.
