Your SIEM Sees the Logs. It Misses the Risk.
Blog post from Stream.Security
SIEMs have traditionally been viewed as the cornerstone of security operations, tasked with ingesting, correlating, and alerting on a vast array of logs, yet they often fail to detect critical configuration changes within cloud environments. This failure is primarily due to their inability to analyze configuration change impacts in real-time, lack of awareness of the current state of cloud configurations, and a limited understanding of cloud semantics. Unlike traditional detections that occur post-change, effective modern detection requires evaluating risks at the moment changes occur, correlating various elements like identity and network configurations instantly, and understanding the true impact of changes. Stream.Security addresses these gaps by leveraging its CloudTwin feature, which provides a live, stateful model of cloud environments to assess risks and impacts of configuration changes in real-time, thus enabling quicker and more confident responses to potential threats.
