DFARS Compliant SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)

The Cuick Trac virtual enclave includes the industry leading Security Information & Event Management solution to detect security issues and empower organizations to respond to threats in real-time by centralizing, correlating, and analyzing data across your entire system.

What is a Compliant Security Information & Event Management and why is it essential for DFARS/NIST compliance?

Attacks come from all angles, in different shapes and sizes.

Without a SIEM, most organizations face serious challenges filtering the massive amounts of security information and logs coming from their endpoints and security tools.

While having a SIEM is excellent, trying to engineer and manage the process internally can be one massive headache.

To meet the continuous monitoring requirements of NIST 800-117/CMMC Level 2, policies and procedures must be followed and documented, for how your organization reviews the SIEM data, and how you’ll respond to abnormalities collected.

This is highly time-consuming for IT and security individuals.

Failure to demonstrate an effective monitoring program will result in a gap in compliance, failed audits, and loss of contract opportunities with the Federal Government.

Challenges with the self-implementation route

At the end of the day, many organizations simply don't have the time, money, or resources to run a SIEM properly.

‍That’s where the cybersecurity experts at Cuick Trac can help.

Bandwidth: Setting up and configuring a SIEM can be immensely complicated.

Operation and fine-tuning of a SIEM often requires highly specialized staff and, even then, can be a time-consuming ordeal.

Pulling in all the logs, creating dashboards to portray useful information, filtering out the “unimportant” data, and creating alerts is no easy feat.

Responsibility: How is the data analyzed and responded to, and by whom?

To meet the continuous monitoring requirements of NIST 800-171/CMMC Level 2, there must be policies and procedures followed and documented, for how your organization reviews the SIEM data, and how you’ll respond to abnormalities and the alerts generated by the SIEM.

This is highly time-consuming for IT and security individuals. Failure to demonstrate an effective monitoring program will result not only in gaps in compliance, failed audits, and loss of contract opportunities with the Federal Government.
