The ISSA South Florida October 2011 meeting will be held on Thursday, October 20, 2011 from 3:30pm - 5:30pm at Nova Southeastern University - Carl DeSantis Building - Room 1124.
Abstract
Events from IDS/IPS systems can be voluminous. How do you sort through all the data collected to find the actionable information? Or – have you ever been asked, “Did you see anything yesterday at 10:00 am in the morning that was out of normal activity?” How many times has this happened to the security staff?
To make better, faster security decisions for your organization, you need better information faster. Capturing the existing network event, log and flow data already provided by your infrastructure with a Security Information and Event Monitoring (SIEM) solution is the first key step to better information and intelligence.
However real-time access to and analysis of the mountain of data SIEMs collect is needed for SIEMs to be effective threat detection and incident response tools. Detecting data breaches, insider leaks and persistent attacks means performing multiple, in-depth data dives in seconds or minutes, not hours or days.
NitroSecurity will present two use cases.
- Sort through voluminous data to find the actionable information
- Using base lining and forensic analysis, identify specific security events
