Take TDIR to a Whole New Level: Achieving Security Operations Excellence
Exabeam – Jeannie Warner
The article discusses the importance of threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) in a security operations center (SOC) and the challenges organizations face in implementing effective TDIR processes
The key points are:
1) TDIR processes are interconnected and require an integrated approach and solution to support the entire workflow.
2) Organizations struggle with TDIR due to the lack of a centralized platform, time-consuming investigation processes, limited visibility, insufficient threat intelligence, and a lack of automation.
3) Modern TDIR should include AI-driven tools for threat detection, automation for simplifying investigations, and playbooks for consistent response.
4) A cloud-native, next-gen SIEM platform integrated with security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) and user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) can elevate TDIR processes.
5) To deploy a winning TDIR strategy, organizations should:
a
Prioritize strategic use cases
b
Isolate exceptions
c
Use a centralized approach
d
Assess, not assume
e
Eliminate impossible events
f
Take post-incident measures
6) These steps, combined with a modern, AI-enabled SIEM platform, set the SOC up for long-term and short-term success in TDIR
The article concludes by offering a comprehensive guide, “The Ultimate Guide to TDIR,” which provides essential practices to understand and master the TDIR workflow, leveraging the latest in SIEM technologies, optimizing log management, and achieving excellence in incident response.
