Why Your Managed Service Provider Should Be Using Automated SIEM Logs to Manage Data Security Threats to Your Firm
As technology continues to evolve, law firms face increasing challenges in protecting their sensitive data from cyberthreats. The legal industry is a prime target for cybercriminals due to the high value of the information kept and produced, including confidential client data, intellectual property and financial records.
To effectively safeguard their data and networks, law firms need to deploy advanced security tools that can help detect and respond to threats in real time. One such tool is security information and event management (SIEM) software (pronounced "sim").
|What Is SIEM?
SIEM is a security technology that collects logging data and analyzes security-related data from multiple sources to find and mitigate security threats. SIEM can alert system administrators to a security risk as it is occurring to provide a reactive response. SIEM software collects logs and events from a wide range of sources, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, servers, applications and cloud services and analyzes them to detect security incidents in real time. SIEM aggregates the logs into a centralized location behind alternate credentials and MFA (multifactor authentication) for an extended period that is longer than the individual systems can retain them. The logs are immutable and cannot be modified. That along with the retention period allows for longer-term investigation of any security incident.
