Seeing the full puzzle with a hybrid SIEM
To achieve visibility into a complex mix of IT environments, agencies should implement a hybrid security information and event management (SIEM) solution for a holistic view of their environments not just from a
security perspective, but from a performance and health perspective as well.
Agencies must be able to understand
the potential weaknesses and vulnerable entry points in their IT environments. They should make sure they have visibility into the security health of their systems so they can achieve insights that are as comprehensive, broad and deep as possible. This means deploying a hybrid SIEM tool capable of understanding and incorporating data from on premises and in the cloud into a single,
comprehensive view.
Instead of seeing just part of the puzzle,
agencies must be able to see the full puzzle so they can quickly identify and remediate a threat. If agencies have the appropriate controls and monitoring in place for their IT environments, they can quickly catch a potential vulnerability before it becomes an issue for the organization.
