How To Maximize Your SIEM Investment

Written by Erica Mixon | Jan 14, 2022 8:53:08 PM

You’ve taken the steps to invest in a SIEM — now it’s time to make sure you’re reaping the rewards.

A SIEM that sits in your environment collecting proverbial dust won’t generate the ROI that you’re looking for. Not only is it an annoyance to security and IT teams, but it’s a waste of valuable budget and resources for the C-suite. 

But that doesn’t have to be the case. Join Blumira's Amanda Berlin, Lead Incident Detection Engineer, and Nato Riley, Integrations Engineer, to learn how to sink as few resources into a SIEM as possible while still meeting your organization’s security or compliance goals. 

You’ll learn about:

  • Actually achieving the SIEM deployment dream — one that’s fast and easy
  • Tuning your detections to be useful, not noisy
  • Getting valuable data from your SIEM to impress your C-suite

This interactive, conversational-style session encourages questions and engagement with viewers – so sign up today for access to our security experts.
