Repercussions of a weak SIEM system
Inadequate data source inclusion is one of the fundamental reasons for poor SIEM deployment. SIEM systems rely on a diverse set of logs and data inputs from a variety of devices and apps. The system’s capacity to connect events and detect threats is hampered by a lack of comprehensive data sources. The appropriate configuration of rules and correlation mechanisms is required for effective SIEM functioning. Inadequate rule sets or incorrectly designed correlation settings may result in missing occurrences or a large number of false positives. Bad log management practices frequently accompany bad SIEM installation. Inconsistent log collection, retention, and storage might result in missing historical data or restrict the system’s capacity to investigate previous problems. SIEM systems can be resource-intensive, both in terms of hardware and software. Inadequate resource allocation may lead to system slowdowns, missed events, or unattended...
