RO
Infrastructure Operations Manager at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees

In large-sized medium-sized and a small-sized organizations, it improves the ability to quickly drill down into events that occur, perform analysis, and find root cause. The most value I’ve found in it, quicker time-to-resolution.

Presales IT at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication. We use VPN instead of publishing services to the world, and we closed some services that are no longer being used. Eventually, we geographically blocked some services that do not need to be published in China or the United States, for example.

Network Security Engineer at Spectrotel

This solution allows us to ingest syslogs from Fortinet firewalls and other products into what we call FortiSIEM. This is a processor that correlates it with the event types and incidents. It gives us the opportunity to generate notifications based upon rules that get triggered, and the rules could be specific to PCI, HIPAA, GIBA, NIST, and so forth. All of these incidents are now correlated and sent up to a dashboard or emailed, where, as a SOC, we can review these incidents and triage the necessary resolution.

With the online-based monitoring we've set up, we've been able to watch trends of attempted attacks on our network.

We're also able to monitor our account issues internally as attackers attempt to log into our accounts.

We fall under HIPAA so security is key.

It is provides extremely fast and flexible query of logs/events on the network. For example, it’s easy to write a quick query for all the “authentication” requests on the network, regardless of where they came from, i.e., during the past days, weeks or months.

Senior Network Security Architect at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees

We’ve had some situations where we’ve either gotten hit with a DOS attack or we’ve gotten notification that we’ve been blacklisted because some IP that belongs to us is roaming the internet trying to bogusly log in to SNMP servers. So, we’ll take that IP, or wherever the DoS is coming from, and run a query over the last 30 days or so, to see just what the activity on that machine has been, and make various decisions from that. In a couple of cases it’s meant to shut down the machines and get them off the network because they’ve obviously got some kind of malware on them. In other cases, it’s been a matter of determining the exact scope of DoS – where it came from, how long it lasted, how intense it was, etc.
