Managed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
What it is and how Intrix Cyber Security can help you with your needsSchedule a consultation
SIEM generates an enormous amount of data by monitoring various files and data points, which can quickly overwhelm organisations. As such, SIEM requires a dedicated team of cyber security experts, such as Intrix Cyber Security, to manage the data – make sense of it, and give you the information you need.
SIEM provides important insight into cyber threats such as insider threats and advanced persistent threats. These are cyber attacks where the malicious actors seek to gain unauthorised entry to your systems and maintain hidden access over a long period of time. They usually appear as if they are an employee or as part of a usual process.
The attacker typically wants to assume ownership of your data, sabotage your systems, or extort you for financial gain. They are especially dangerous, as they can be subtle and near-impossible to detect without Managed SIEM.
What is Managed SIEM?
Security Information and Event Management (or SIEM), refers to specialist cyber security software that discreetly monitors and reports back on IT system threats or anomalies. SIEM monitors many data points including logs, servers, firewalls, wireless access points, and cloud devices.
Managed SIEM refers to utilising a team of cyber security specialists, such as Intrix Cyber Security, to manage your company’s SIEM data, in order to keep your organisation running smoothly.

Why do I need Intrix Cyber Security to manage SIEM data?
SIEM data is a very large amount of data to process. You can easily find yourself overwhelmed and struggling for time in trying to sort through all the notifications, files, etc.
It is not enough to simply set up SIEM – you need a crew of IT professionals who know what to do with this data, so that you can be proactively protected from threats, make informed decisions and not be overwhelmed.
When or how should Managed SIEM services be used?
Managed SIEM technologies are ideal for identifying indicators of cyber attacks such as insider threats or advanced persistent threats. SIEM can help provide detailed answers as to what has been compromised, or alert you on threat modus operandi.
