The Reality of Security Operations: Ever-Increasing SIEM Costs and Complexity
Today, enterprises are investing massive resources to counter constantly evolving cyber threats. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions, in particular, play a crucial role in an enterprise's security architecture but simultaneously contribute to significant costs and operational burdens. Data volume-based licensing fees incurred during the collection, analysis, and threat detection of numerous security logs, the difficulty of securing skilled personnel for advanced solution operation, and fatigue due to excessive false positives are among the biggest concerns for security professionals.
In reality, many organizations are unable to fully leverage their security capabilities due to the high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and complex management systems of existing SIEM solutions. Foreign SIEM solutions, in particular, face various limitations such as compatibility issues with the domestic IT environment, lack of immediate technical support, and resource waste due to unnecessary features. These problems are not merely about cost reduction; they are serious challenges that can ultimately lead to a weakening of an enterprise's security posture.
Changes in the SIEM Market and Limitations of Existing Foreign Solutions
The security market has recently become more complex due to cloud migration, the adoption of container environments, and the spread of remote work. These environmental changes have exponentially increased the volume and types of data that SIEM solutions must collect and analyze. Existing foreign SIEM solutions have often struggled to respond flexibly to these changes.
- High Initial Deployment and Maintenance Costs: Data volume-based pricing policies lead to unpredictable cost increases, and license renewal and maintenance fees also impose significant burdens.
- Low Understanding of the Domestic Environment: Customized support for compliance with domestic laws and regulations (e.g., Personal Information Protection Act, ISMS-P) is insufficient, and there are difficulties in detecting attack patterns specific to the domestic environment.
- Complex Architecture and Operational Difficulty: Foreign solutions are designed for the global market, making them difficult to optimize for domestic companies' IT infrastructure, and requiring high expertise for operation and maintenance.
- Limitations in Technical Support and Customization: Immediate technical support or responses to customization requests tailored to domestic circumstances are often delayed or unavailable, making quick problem resolution difficult when issues arise.
These limitations go beyond mere inconvenience, impeding the operational efficiency of security systems and ultimately having a negative impact on an enterprise's business continuity. Therefore, companies are seeking new SIEM solutions that can effectively address these challenges.
