Integrating threat intelligence into your SIEM can help increase overall network visibility, keep you up to date on potential risks within your environment, and enable you to rapidly detect and respond to cyberthreats.
To recap, the primary benefits of adding threat intelligence to SIEM are:
- Increased visibility: Obtain a greater understanding of threats for faster detection
- Improved context: Combine internal intelligence with external threat intelligence to make it actionable
- Enhanced productivity: Enable a proactive defense, rather than a reactive posture
What Makes a Threat Intelligence Provider Stand out from the Crowd?
Just as Machine Data Intelligence (MDI) Fabric uniquely empowers the LogRhythm platform with contextualized data primed for analytics, value-added threat intelligence must be powered by diverse, quality inputs.
Some of these inputs may be publicly available, open-source feeds that could be free from sources, such as DHS, ISACs, or ISAOs. Additional input sources can be found in proprietary access to global private networks, endpoints, or enterprise implementations. Interestingly enough, many commercial threat intel providers resell other threat intelligence feeds so that the provider itself becomes a trusted indicator of industry-validated or peer-validated quality.
Ultimately, security practitioners want threat intel that will be complementary to everything else in their security stack—whether that be endpoint protection, cloud security, or NextGen SIEM.
Factors that Help Differentiate Threat Intelligence Providers
When choosing a threat intelligence provider, consider the triple A triad: accuracy, availability, actionable. You don’t want external intelligence that’s going to spawn a bunch of false positives. You want accurate, timely threat intelligence that’s published rapidly. You need intel that is highly available and can be accessed as needed. Finally, you don’t want to have troves of structured and/or unstructured data without meaning—it needs to be actionable.
Security analysts and vendors generally agree that threat intel and SIEM are a strong match. Explore our Threat Intelligence Services (TIS) a bit deeper to understand the platform enhancements made possible through this integration.
