SIEM & Threat Detection

Identify & Defend Against Threats

A SIEM collects security-related events from servers, endpoints, the network, and the cloud in one place and turns them into actionable threat detection. We plan, build, and operate your SIEM using Elastic, Wazuh, and Graylog.

Detect Attacks Early

Suspicious patterns are correlated across all sources before a clue turns into actual damage.

All logs in one place

Logs from servers, endpoints, the network, and the cloud are consolidated in a central location. Isolated data silos are now a thing of the past.

Open Source Without Lock-in

Elastic, Wazuh, Graylog, and OpenSearch replace expensive closed-source suites. You retain full control over data and costs.

Endpoint to Network

Wazuh detects issues directly at the endpoint, while Elastic correlates data across the entire landscape. Taken together, this creates a seamless view.

Compliance-ready

Comprehensive retention, searchable logs, and audit trails form the basis for evidence and forensic analysis.

We’ll take care of it for you

MyEngineer can handle detection and initial response upon request.

What is the difference between SIEM and threat detection?

SIEM and threat detection are often mentioned in the same breath, but they refer to different things.

  • The SIEM is the platform: It collects events from servers, endpoints, the network, and the cloud and consolidates them in one place.
  • Threat detection is what happens based on this data: the identification of patterns that indicate an attack.

Without SIEM, there is no common database; without threat detection, SIEM remains merely a collection of data without alerts. Only together do the two form a system that not only records attacks but also makes them visible.

Where Attacks Go Undetected

Security incidents can be predicted, but only when the warning signs all point in the same direction. Crucial clues get lost amid scattered logs and a flood of alerts.

Attacks go unnoticed

Without central correlation, the evidence is scattered across individual log silos. As a result, an ongoing attack is often not detected until it is too late.

Too many alerts, not enough signals

Individual tools are constantly sounding the alarm. Without prioritization and context, the actual event falls through the cracks.

Duty to Provide Evidence

Without complete, searchable logs, there is no basis for audits, compliance, and a thorough forensic investigation.

How we work with you

Four steps, identical for every NETWAYS solution, from use cases to a fully operational SIEM with a defined response process.

Step 1

Analysis & Concept

We assess security needs, relevant log sources, and compliance requirements, and define the most important detection use cases.

→ Identify where your actual risk lies—not based on gut feeling.

"
Step 2

Setup & Integration

We're setting up the SIEM: connecting log sources, deploying Wazuh agents, and configuring correlation rules in Elastic.

→ A clean pipeline instead of a patchwork of individual scripts.

"
Step 3

Commissioning & Detection

Go-live: Suspicious patterns trigger alerts, which are followed by a clearly defined response process.

→ A defined procedure eliminates uncertainty in an emergency.

"
Step 4

Support & Operations

Upon request, we can manage the operation and monitoring of your SIEM via MyEngineer or provide your team with support and training.

→ A powerful SIEM without having to set up your own SOC.

Here’s what your SIEM can do

From the central collection to the response: The building blocks are interconnected and can be introduced step by step.

Security Monitoring

Collect data centrally

Logs from servers, endpoints, the network, and the cloud are collected centrally and normalized. This creates a shared database.

Result: A shared database instead of scattered individual sources.

Threat Detection

Detect & Correlate

Rules and correlation in Elastic detect suspicious patterns across multiple sources, based on MITRE ATT&CK.

Effect: Actual attacks stand out from the background noise.

Endpoint Detection (EDR)

Securing Endpoints

Wazuh handles detection directly on the device, as well as integrity and compliance checks on servers and clients.

Result: Threats are detected right where they originate.

Incident Response

Respond & Escalate

Alerts trigger a defined response process, with detection and response via MyEngineer if desired.

Result: An alarm leads to an orderly response.

The Impact on Your Team

Faster detection · Complete documentation · No vendor lock-in.

Detect and Respond Faster

Reduced time to detect and contain an incident through correlation and clear response procedures.

Complete documentation

Searchable logs and audit trails provide the basis for compliance documentation and forensic analysis.

No vendor lock-in

An open stack consisting of Elastic, Wazuh, Graylog, and OpenSearch gives you full control over data, rules, and costs.

What is your SIEM built on?

Tried-and-true open-source components operated in-house or through NETWAYS Managed Services. You decide what you’ll do yourself and what we’ll take care of.

Elastic

Search and analysis engine, including Elastic Security: correlation, detection rules, and dashboards—the analytical heart of the SIEM.

Wazuh

Open-source SIEM and XDR for endpoint detection, integrity checks, and compliance checks—threat detection directly on the device.

Graylog

Centralized log management with powerful search and alerting capabilities—ideal for collecting and processing large volumes of logs.

OpenSearch

Open search and analysis platform for logs and events—a license-free alternative that keeps data searchable.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About This Solution

What is a SIEM?

2
3

SIEM stands for Security Information and Event Management. A SIEM centrally collects security-related events and logs from across the entire IT infrastructure, correlates them based on rules, and triggers an alert when suspicious patterns are detected. This makes attacks visible that would otherwise go unnoticed in individual systems.

SIEM vs. SOC – What's the Difference?

2
3
The difference between SIEM and SOC lies in the technology and the team. SIEM is the technology that collects and correlates events and generates alerts. A SOC is the team and the process responsible for evaluating and responding to these alerts. NETWAYS sets up the SIEM and, upon request, also handles SOC-like detection and initial response via MyEngineer.

Which open-source SIEM is good?

2
3
A good open-source SIEM is usually built from several components rather than a single tool. A proven combination is Wazuh for endpoint detection and compliance, Elastic for correlation and analysis, and Graylog or OpenSearch for log management. Which components are appropriate depends on the sources, scope, and compliance requirements. We provide manufacturer-neutral advice.

How does threat detection work?

2
3
Threat Detection continuously compares incoming events with detection rules and known attack patterns, such as those based on the MITRE ATT&CK Framework or Sigma rules. If a pattern is detected or if behavior deviates significantly, an alert is generated, followed by a defined response process.

How much does a SIEM cost?

2
3
That depends on the volume of data, the sources, and the operating model. Because it is open source, there are no per-data-volume licensing fees, as charged by many commercial SIEMs; the costs are primarily associated with setup, infrastructure, and operation. We'll figure that out together based on the scope of your project.

Do I need my own SOC?

2
3
Having your own SOC is not absolutely necessary. It's usually only worthwhile once a company reaches a certain size. If you don't want to run your own, you can have MyEngineer handle detection and initial response, giving you SOC-level response without having to build your own 24/7 team.

Does NETWAYS offer SIEM consulting?

2
3
Yes, NETWAYS offers SIEM consulting services, from the initial analysis through to ongoing operations. We assess security needs, log sources, and compliance requirements, set up the SIEM, and, upon request, also handle ongoing detection via MyEngineer.
