Hunters SOC Platform:
The Modern SIEM Alternative

Security and Information Event Management (SIEM) solutions have traditionally been the center of the Security Operation. Ingesting firewall and endpoint logs from on-premises and other sources, it serves as the unifying platform for security telemetry, and the go-to place for security analysts to conduct investigations on incidents and alerts.

However, as valuable as they have been, security teams increasingly report that SIEMs have become “costly, complex and resource-consuming” (ESG’s survey research “The Impact of XDR in the Modern SOC”).

If we break down the key use cases for the SIEM, we could tackle them from two key angles:

1. Data Aggregation and Storage: collecting, normalizing and storing all event logs, also serving for auditing and compliance 
2. Threat Detection and Response: based on manual rule configuration and alerting prompted by those rules or deviations from standard behavior

• Limited telemetry, insights or retention of data from cost model
• Burden of heavy rules management, limited to known threats
• Analysts left to manually decipher disparate data
• Limited automation of simple tasks but lacks context for analysts
• Costly IT management derailing security analysts

Hunters XDR is a purpose-built, turn-key security data and analytics platform. Hunters provides cloud-scale access to telemetry sources across the entire attack surface coupled with automated event prioritization, correlation and investigation. Open XDR is purpose-built to support SOC workflows from the data ingestion all the way to incident response, serving as the ideal approach for replacing the SIEM.

Hunters XDR natively integrates with a data lake, acting as both the ETL and the analytics engine on top of it. If you’re using a security data lake in your organization, Hunters will connect to the data lake and ingest all the security telemetry and organizational data. If you don’t have a data lake in place, you can easily leverage Hunters’ data lake.

Key Outcomes

• Contain or restructure data costs
• Simplify security tool complexity and reduce data fragmentation
• Offload IT management and data engineering from security teams
• Reduce investigation complexity
• Augment existing analyst capabilities to support the changing business needs
• Start generating insights from day one, no need for timely agent deployment, rule-writing, pre-configuration, or model training period
