AlienVault OSSIM Primary Use Case

Aman Aijaz - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Manager Global Security at Convergys Corporation

We are using AlienVault OSSIM to monitor any events happening on the devices. Since AlienVault OSSIM is an open-source tool, we cannot expect much from it. If basic things like file integrating and monitoring are happening, along with brute-force-related functionalities are happening, or some basic SQLs or something is happening on the web servers, we monitor for those things. There are directories that are already preconfigured. So, we have already deployed that on the servers which we want to look for. That is the basic thing and the main concern why we are using AlienVault OSSIM.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients.

Our clients use this SIEM solution to collect and analyze logs that are generated by different appliances or different machines. It is a correlation tool for event management that gathers all of the events in your environment. This includes different hardware and different operating systems. There are rules in AlienVault that might be triggered based on the logs, and you can tell when there is a security attack or something else that is malicious that comes to your network. These types of events raise a flag and send a notification.

Our clients include banks and other financial institutions.

There are two versions of AlienVault. One is a community edition and the other requires a license. We are dealing with the licensed version and a hybrid-cloud environment.

Our primary use case is for research purposes. For now, we're just playing with it and there's a potential learning curve regarding use of AlienVault as an SIEM solution. We plan to analyze different open source solutions to test strengths and weaknesses. We are customers of AlienVault and I'm a research assistant.

This product would typically be used by a client who would be looking at dipping his feet into the SIEM space and understanding how to go about setting up an SOC without putting in a large up-front investment. I'm the director of our company and we are partners with AlienVault.
