i-SIEM Overview

What is i-SIEM?

If you had to invent the perfect SIEM from scratch it would combine a rules-free engine and a voluminous and continually updated database of threats. Well, the dream SIEM is here today. empow uses its proprietary AI and natural language processing to read the minds of attackers and determine the intent of each kernel of IP data.

This power is now integrated with Elastic’s database and search capabilities. Think of it as an integrated “i-SIEM empowered by Elastic" - bringing enterprises a single place to manage all of their IT and data security functions. It’s a scalable data lake solution, with empow’s SIEM serving as an active infrastructure brain that detects, confirms and prevents attacks before they do harm.

Pricing Advice

What users are saying about i-SIEM pricing:
  • "With a higher degree of fidelity in the alarms, we were able to avoid adding additional resources to our teams. We take into account the cost of security resources in the market and the significantly higher fidelity from the alarms that are being generated. This drove down our costs with our MSSP. It drove down my cost for human capital internally. It drove down our need to have multiple resources supporting the underlying infrastructure and health and maintenance of empow as a platform from several resources down to one. Therefore, human capital costs were significantly reduced. Our operating expenses were significantly reduced. Our capital costs were significantly reduced while tripling our capacity and our run rate reduced. It was almost a "too good to be true" situation. Fortunately, for us, it worked out very nicely."
  • "I don't have to put up with any longer with these hypercomplex licensing agreements. Every time I want to add some additional reporting as a compliance centric or regulatory specific, e.g., GDPR, PCI, or Sarbanes-Oxley, many providers would have an additional license for this, which felt a bit ridiculous to me. With the simplified licensing architecture, there were no hidden "gotchas" down the road with empow. Something I have experienced with other providers that I've worked with in the past."

The alert fatigue and false positive rates have just plummeted, which is really exciting.

What is our primary use case?

My organization is in the financial services industry and the majority of services that we offer are financial services centric. We operate or support almost every industry in the marketplace. We restore processes and transmit highly sensitive information. Sometimes that information is premarket. Other times that information is personally identifiable information, personal health information, etc. It is dependent upon our client's requirements. Security is cornerstone in all that we do. It's in our DNA, as we would like to say internally. Being in a position to understand when we are at risk… more »

Pros and Cons

  • "As a result of the automation, we are able to manage SIEM with a small security team. I'm in a unique position where we have been growing the security organization quite rapidly over the last three and a half years. But, as a direct result of the empow transition and legacy collection of tools towards the empow platform, we've been able to keep that head count flat. We've been able to redirect a lot of the security team's time away from the wash, rinse, repeat activities of responding to alarms where we have a high degree of confidence that they will be false positives, adjusting the rules accordingly. This can be a bit frustrating for the analyst when they have to spend hours a day dealing with these types of probable false positives. So, it has helped not only us keep our headcount flat relative to the resources necessary to provide the assurances that our executives expect of us for monitoring, but allows our analyst team to spend the majority of their time doing what they love. They are spending their time meaningfully with a higher degree of confidence and enjoying getting into the incident response type activity."
  • "Relative to keeping up with the sheer pace of cloud-native technologies, it should provide more options for clients to deploy their technologies in unique ways. This is an area that I recommend that they maintain focus."

What other advice do I have?

If I was to rate empow on a scale of one to 10, I would give them a nine and a half, probably. Why it's so high is that there's no competitors on the market in my mind that has transformed the SIEM industry as much as empow. The speed is impressive in which they continue to innovate. Every couple of months, we're excited to learn about the latest and greatest capabilities of the platform. Most of the latest innovations have been centered around their automation capabilities. It's had such a tremendous impact on my organization. They tend to focus on what matters. It has given us high…
