organization needs to ensure that they can
identify threats attempting to hide within
that maze of information swiftly. With
LogRhythm’s RespondX, UDA was able to
streamline the investigation and mitigation
of threats by co-ordinating and automating
as many steps in the response workflow
as possible. This means greater efficiency
and speed in detecting and responding to
anomalous activity, thus minimizing damage
to the business.
Coupled with having full visibility on the
origin of attacks and security environment,
the UDA team found additional value in
the platform, which served as the central
repository for all associated evidence and
case management. This immensely helped
the UDA team’s time management on
tracking and remediating cases, as they
were able to view a real-time news feed
of all completed actions associated with
a timestamp for each case. In fact, by
aligning their processes with LogRhythm
NextGen SIEM, the team was able to cut
down on mean time to detect and response
times from between 48 and 72 hours to just
under 30 minutes.
Orchestrating workflows intelligently
and swiftly
The adoption of LogRhythm’s NextGen
SIEM solution has strengthened UDA’s
ISO 27001:2013 certification application,
which is now in process. It covers various
areas in incident response and information
integrity through a unified hub orchestrating
workflow. The positive results and
achievements with LogRhythm have led to
UDA placing the platform at the center of its
security IT universe, with the IT team looking
at closer collaboration efforts for a 24/7
Security Operations Center (SOC) and the
possible inclusion of cloud deployment.
