Elastic Community of Practice Collaborative User Group

Building and sustaining an effective Security Information and Event Management capability requires significant technology, funding, specialized personnel, and ongoing operational support. SIEM as a Service offers federal agencies an alternative approach designed to improve security visibility and operational capabilities while reducing the burden of independently developing and maintaining a complete SIEM environment.

The second meeting of the Elastic Community of Practice will bring government practitioners and users together for a candid, peer-to-peer discussion focused on:

• Operational challenges SIEM as a Service is intended to address, as well as the capabilities and support the model can provide.
• Shared responsibilities between a service provider and participating agencies.
• Agency readiness and onboarding, including considerations for adopting the model.
• Integration with existing security operations and lessons emerging from early implementation efforts.
• Practical needs and experiences of those who operate, manage, or rely on SIEM capabilities, with government SOC personnel, security analysts, engineers, SIEM administrators, cybersecurity program leaders, and hands-on Elastic users having an opportunity to ask questions, exchange insights with peers, and develop a clearer understanding of the SIEM-as-a-Service model and its potential fit within their agencies.
