Interest in security information and event management (SIEM) has increased over the years because it can do three things that IT and security teams desperately need:
The benefit? It opens the door to spot and neutralize threats earlier in the attack chain. And because of its log retention, it also helps businesses meet their compliance obligations.听聽
But there鈥檚 a big problem. Just like you have to pass 鈥淕o鈥 in Monopoly to collect $200, organizations only experience these benefits if they can get past the big SIEM gatekeepers: high price tags and resource demands that overwhelm even the most dedicated teams.听
The reality is traditional SIEMs were built for well-resourced teams who can customize rules and sift through noisy logs to spot the real threats. Most of the time, SIEM creates a giant data lake you鈥檒l end up drowning in.
Late last year, we announced Early Availability of 杏吧传媒 Managed SIEM, which was designed to make SIEM accessible to all businesses. We did this by:
Dropping noisy logs through our proprietary Smart Filtering technology
Making costs predictable with an industry-disruptive pricing model
Performing 24/7 investigation and response on behalf of customers through our expert human-led Security Operations Center (SOC).听
Since that Early Availability launch six months ago, things have only accelerated. With the recent shift to General Availability, our development has been running full speed ahead. And we鈥檙e nowhere near slowing down.
Here are some of the exciting updates and features we鈥檝e added recently:
Enhanced log ingestion with 20+ new integrations across sources like firewalls, password managers, and identity platforms, including Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Keeper Security, Sophos, LastPass, Duo, and more.
24/7 detection and response for specific tradecraft. For example, our expert SOC team now looks for and neutralizes effective (but usually noisy!) threats like RDP brute force attempts.
Expanded detection rules and faster investigation tools. This includes rapid data rehydration and improved search capabilities that enable our SOC to accelerate threat resolution.
Extended data retention up to seven years to help organizations meet compliance requirements for mandates like PCI-DSS, CMMC, and the Australian Signals Directorate鈥檚 Essential Eight.
Industry-disruptive pricing model that makes costs predictable, thanks to our ability to store only the data truly needed for effective threat hunting, investigation, and compliance.
With these additions and optimizations, Managed SIEM has hit its stride. Nearly 1,000 customers and partners now rely on the platform to enhance both their security posture and compliance efforts.听
And we鈥檝e got some stories to tell.
Recently, our expert SOC identified a malicious true positive for VPN compromise through its hunting efforts. By neutralizing the attack at the VPN stage, we ensured the attacker couldn鈥檛 get any further and stopped them in the earliest stages of their intrusion.
This is the benefit of having a human-managed solution. Our SOC was hunting for our customers, not relying on AI to do the job.听
Here鈥檚 another story that proves how 杏吧传媒 delivered value before most SIEMs would be up and running. Managed SIEM started ingesting data for a customer on March 4, 2025 at 18:01:53 UTC.
By March 5 at 08:30:46 UTC, the SOC had already hunted a threat and delivered an incident report. In this case, a company had been compromised via their exposed RDP from some really nasty public IPv4s.
This means 杏吧传媒 delivered fast security value just 14 hours and 28 minutes after the company got started with our solution.听
Over a weekend, we worked on an intrusion where our partner did not have Managed SIEM. This is a shame, because if they did, we could鈥檝e caught and neutralized the threat much earlier in the attack chain. That鈥檚 just the nature of SIEM versus EDR.听
In this case, Managed SIEM would鈥檝e given the 杏吧传媒 SOC a 19-hour head start over the threat actor, compared to when EDR detected the threat. That extra time can stop credential theft and business downtime in its tracks.
