Almost from the beginning of widespread adoption of computers, organizations realized that disaster recovery was a necessary component of their information technology (IT) plans. Business data had to be backed up, and key processes like order entry, billing, payroll and procurement needed to continue even if an organization’s data center was disabled due to a
Global organizations are increasingly emphasizing business resilience, that is, the ability to adapt rapidly to a continuously changing business environment.

“Security intelligence” is a term that is commonly used within the information security community, but one that often lacks clarity and definition. Closely aligned with security incident and event management (SIEM), security intelligence is best defined as: “Security intelligence (SI) is the real-time collection, normalization, and analysis of the data generated by users, applications and
Like so many other things in today’s world, cyber attacks— along with those who perpetrate them—are becoming more sophisticated every year. At the same time, IT resources are moving outside the firewall and enterprises are distributing their applications and data across multiple devices. It’s now clear that simply protecting an organization’s perimeter is not enough.
As the world becomes more digitized and interconnected, the door to emerging security leaks has opened wider.

Big Data is not only a challenge for customer-facing organizations—but for security teams as well. Over the past decade, the demand for stronger security has driven the collection and analysis of increasingly larger amounts of event and security contextual data. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) has long been the core tool that security teams
SIEM: Solve for the Bigger Business Issues After more than a decade functioning in production environments, security information and event management (SIEM) solutions are now considered mature. Capabilities such as event collection, correlation, alerting, and demonstrating compliance with regulatory mandates are table stakes, and most SIEM solutions address these needs.
