ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) Primary Use Case

Ramnesh  Dubey - PeerSpot reviewer
Solutions Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

ArcSight ESM supports our team or department in meeting compliance requirements. It provides some industry-related use cases by default, which directly map to controls like those related to MITRE framework.

There are 800 to 1000 rules related to MITRE that help us to deploy ArcSight, as well as specific rules related to compliance frameworks like PCI.

These are considered "extenders" that extend compliance and other standards. They combine individual rules into packages that can be deployed in ArcSight. So, in one place, we can monitor logs according to industry standards within our ESM.

However, we still need to find the right approach for specific packages based on the types of devices and logs we receive. We need to enable or disable rules based on our actual customer traffic compared to the existing user rules.

That's why we first need to check our organization's traffic and compare it to our current user rules. If the rules are applicable, then we enable or disable them.

There's also a dashboard that provides a better understanding of the rules. You can see how many rules are created within 24 hours and which ones trigger most frequently. This information is helpful in managing the rules effectively.

Our use cases are for both a government-based entity and an international oil and gas entity, and so our use cases flow for security across both domains. Very similar threat cases are created, but they're targeted specifically for the client's operating environment, including standard access control, endpoint control, and things like that. The use cases themselves vary from active directory exploits to endpoint exploits. We use it for real-time alerting, so we run an alert-centric model that we partnered with a log service and we do a discovery centric model on the back end, so we have a hybrid.

We use this solution as a SIEM monitoring tool in our enterprise and for customers who have been using it, like shared operations. It's mostly used for cyber security by cyber security professionals for incident management and analysis.

The solution can be deployed on-prem and on the cloud. It depends on the requirements. We mainly use AWS, but Azure is also used.

We have analysts and architects using this solution. There are more than 20 people who are specialists and are using it. The team can be as large as more than 100 people. It all depends upon infrastructure and the clients that the particular infrastructure is supporting.

It is our SIEM of choice in our managed SIEM services offering. Its multi-tenant capability, virtually universal connector framework, and licensing model made it the clear choice to deliver a value-add as an MSSP.

ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is used in the customer side, specifically where there is an investment because the solution, when implemented, helps with integration. ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is able to ingest logs and integrate with all the third-party products, so its utility becomes higher. Integration is very important because if the solution isn't able to integrate with others, then data doesn't come under SIEM and becomes incomplete.

Chief Information Officer at Bassein Catholic Co-Op Bank

We have outsourced our SOX management to an IT company because I cannot maintain and manage that in the bank. We had selected them because they were using ArcSight. They are a very professional security company. They came up with this suggestion of switching from ArcSight to LogRhythm. We are currently using ArcSight, but we would be switching to LogRhythm.

They are using the latest version of ArcSight ESM. It is all on-prem. Our production setup cannot be on a public cloud. In India, cloud deployment is not allowed for financial services. It has to be either a co-location or in-house.

ArcSight monitors any down time with patch management. Whenever any project is on-boarded such as in our security core or asset and wealth management technology, the hardware goes through ArcSight. That is basically our use case whether we're doing the patch management, or the upgrades on that tool, or managing the centralized desktop. ArcSight monitors the failures in the cloud. We have the tech classifications in the CMDB which is integrated with ArcSight and ArcSight pulls out everything on the CMDB and I'm able to see it all - the CMDB database and the CVS scores which are also integrated in ArcSight. I can know that for a particular monitoring track or detected incident, this is the particular CVS score. I'm a VP and enterprise architect, and we're customers of ArcSight.
