The global enterprise puts tough demands on a security information and event management (SIEM) system. It must capture all event data (not just most of it) from all worldwide sites, large and small. It must give alerts, not only for immediate and obvious attacks, but also for the more stealthy variety taking place over time, anywhere on the network.
The ideal SIEM system must keep all the captured data readily, securely and quickly available through an easy to use centralized interface for flexible historical, trend and audit reporting--even reports not yet anticipated. But the system must not touch the data in a manner that would invalidate it as evidence.
It must be fast, so as not to lose data or delay reporting; but it must also be cost effective. It should not create a data explosion causing ever greater storage purchases. And with all that, it should be simple, standard, open, and not place further burdens on the IT staff.
