SIEM Essentials: Why They Matter

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) products are essential tools for Security and Network Operations teams to monitor and analyze machine data from IT environments and data centers. SIEM products capture log records for data repositories, ensuring compliance with record retention requirements. However, not all SIEM products are created equal, and some fail to provide real-time ingestion or full-fidelity data capture.

The Limitations of Existing SIEM Products

Organizations need real-time, full-fidelity data capture to ensure that they have the information they need to detect and respond to threats in a timely manner. SIEM products that claim to offer real-time ingestion capabilities often use engines built on Java or only "sample" the data being collected, resulting in neither real-time nor full-fidelity. This can lead to missed threats and slower incident response times, leaving organizations vulnerable to attacks.

LogZilla's Real-Time, Full-Fidelity Pre-Processor: A Game Changer

LogZilla's real-time, full-fidelity pre-processor addresses the limitations of existing SIEM products. LogZilla captures every event with no drops and operates at line speed, providing real-time, full-fidelity data capture. This is possible because LogZilla is built on a true C++ engine, unlike other products that use engines built on Java or other languages. LogZilla's patented deduplication process ensures that organizations receive the entire data set and can store it for any period they decide is appropriate.

Empowering Teams to See Anomalies and Accelerate Incident Remediation

LogZilla's real-time, full-fidelity pre-processor empowers teams to see anomalies, not just hunt, accelerating incident remediation. With unparalleled speed-to-everything and the ability to perform real-time searches with millisecond accuracy, LogZilla enables Security and Network Operations teams to gain comprehensive visibility and understanding of their network operations data.

Efficiency and Speed: LogZilla's Edge

LogZilla's real-time, full-fidelity pre-processor processes 10TB/day on a single 1U server to ingest, normalize, index, enrich, alert, trigger, execute autonomic actions, and eliminate noise – all at line speed. This speed and efficiency means that organizations can detect and respond to threats faster, reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.

Summary: Revolutionizing SIEM Ingestion with LogZilla

LogZilla's real-time, full-fidelity pre-processor solves the challenge of real-time, full-fidelity SIEM ingestion. By providing comprehensive visibility and understanding of network operations data, LogZilla enables Security and Network Operations teams to see anomalies and accelerate incident remediation. With LogZilla, organizations can gain a true real-time view of their network operations data, reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.
