MDR FOR LOG MONITORING

Security Information and Events Management (SIEM) focuses on log monitoring and centralized analysis but needs skilled internal resources for threat detection, investigation, and response.

An MDR for Log service is a managed, all-inclusive log monitoring and management security service, combining real-time monitoring, expert analysis, proactive threat hunting, and incident response, reducing the need for extensive in-house security staff.

There are many challenges to relying on a SIEM vs. an MDR service. A SIEM is hard to install and configure, it’s difficult to see quantitative or qualitative results, security teams will experience alert fatigue and may miss alerts triggered by real threats in a sea of false positives, and there is no insight on how to improve threat response.

On the other hand, MDR services benefit your organization by:

• Providing visibility across an organization’s entire threat surface
• Removing the complexity and expense of deploying and managing cybersecurity solutions
• Providing organizations with skills and knowledge of cybersecurity professionals, without needing to recruit, train and retain those security professionals
• Using advanced analytics to deliver insights on threats based on data ingested from multiple signal sources
• Delivering the combination of people, processes and technology needed to detect and respond to threats effectively and at scale

Log management is crucial for MDR because it enables the collection, storage, and analysis of logs from various sources. This data helps MDR teams detect anomalies, correlate events, and understand the context of potential security incidents.

Our best-of-breed log monitoring technology ingests and stores logs across AWS, Microsoft 365, Azure, and your existing security controls to provide complete attack surface visibility and help you satisfy insurance, regulatory and compliance requirements such HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, etc.

eSentire MDR for Log is a fully managed log monitoring and log management solution that detects a multitude of attack types and techniques including but not limited to:

• Phishing and business email compromise attacks
• Data exfiltration
• Insider threats
• Suspicious or unusual user behavior
• Cloud service misconfigurations
• Modular malware
• Privilege escalations and alterations
