LogRhythm CTO and Co-Founder Discusses the Present and Future State of SIEM

BOULDER, Colo., April 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether it be for compliance, threat detection, or a little of both, an organization must select the right security information and event management (SIEM) for the job. Chris Petersen, senior vice president of customer care, chief technology officer and co-founder at LogRhythm, will address this in an SC Magazine 20/20 webcast titled, "Rightsizing Your SIEM" on April 19, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

The explosion of threat intelligence technology is fueling the SIEM market for enterprises of all sizes. A recent survey conducted by SC Magazine showed that mid-range companies – those with 1,000 to 5,000 employees and revenues of $100 million to $1 billion – are making their move into the digital analytics market. This progress is also impacting the SIEM market in that small- and medium-sized businesses are looking to have the same SIEM requirements as large enterprises are for security analytics.

Depending on the size of a business, the role that SIEMs can play is slightly different. Register to learn how to get the most out of your SIEM for your size organization.

In this 20/20 interview webcast, Petersen will respond to questions from SC Magazine that look at some of the issues companies face as they embrace SIEM for the first time. They will discuss:

• The biggest barriers to a successful deployment
• How companies that are new to SIEM budget for their initial deployment
• How companies can work through the marketing talk to determine which SIEM is appropriate for their requirements
• What companies can do to ensure a successful implementation
• Some of the myths about SIEM that need to be busted before a company does its initial SIEM implementation
• The pros and cons of training current staff versus hiring specific SIEM administrators
