Security analytics helps to provide SOC teams with better visibility into the unique environments of organizations, improving threat detection, investigations, and response. Security analytics is seen as an evolution of [SIEM](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-security-information-and-event-management-SIEM?ts=markdown), which has historically provided log data collection and aggregation. ![Security Analytics](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/content/dam/pan/en_US/images/cyberpedia/Security-analytics.jpg) ## Security Analytics Platforms Security analytics tools help synthesize raw data collection and make it actionable. Commonly referred to as security analytics platforms, these tools are critical for managing infrastructure complexity, increasing data volumes, and quickly identifying evolving threats. Vendors who offer security analytics platforms also typically include [SIEM](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-security-information-and-event-management-SIEM?ts=markdown) and [SOAR](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-soar?ts=markdown) capabilities as part of the solutions. According to Forrester, "A security analytics (SA) platform converges logs from network, identity, endpoint, application, and other security relevant sources to generate high-fidelity behavioral alerts and facilitate rapid incident analysis, investigation, and response." \-[The Security Analytics Platform Landscape, Q3 2022, Forrester Consulting, August 2022](https://start.paloaltonetworks.com/forrester-sec-analytics-platform-landscape-q322) While security analytics platforms have been around for decades, the market continues to evolve as modern security operations teams seek the consolidation of tools and demand more automation to drive better security outcomes. ## Security Analytics Capabilities The security analytics market is mature, but SOC requirements continue to expand. Security analysts need to do more with less, and they also need the technology they use to do the same. Organizations should look for the following capabilities and determine which features they require most to fit their needs and budget requirements. ### Machine Learning Security analytics platforms have technologically evolved by automating data analysis and using [machine learning (ML)](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/machine-learning-ml?ts=markdown) algorithms to apply modeling in real time, helping organizations to reduce analyst workloads and improve security. ### Data Collection and Analysis Automated collection, real-time analysis and monitoring should include, but are not limited to, logs and data of the following types: * Endpoint Data * Behavioral Indicators of Compromise (BIoCs) * [User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-user-entity-behavior-analytics-ueba?ts=markdown) * Network traffic access (NTA) * Identity Analytics * Forensics * [Threat Intelligence](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-cyberthreat-intelligence-cti?ts=markdown) It is critical to be able to collect and store vast amounts of data from multiple sources. ## MITRE ATT\&CK Mapping SecOps teams have been quick to adopt the [MITRE ATT\&CK framework](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-mitre-attack-framework?ts=markdown) as part of security operations, and therefore most vendors now map their solutions to the framework for detection, investigations and response. The ability to granularly map to ATT\&CK is a good indication of the quality of the analytics because it indicates the analytics engine is able to interpret the data it's observing or is being collected. ## SOAR and Threat Intelligence Platform The combination of analytics and [automation](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-security-automation?ts=markdown) creates the opportunity for security analytics platforms to deliver intelligent operations with the ability to identify threats and automatically respond to them. Security orchestration automation and response, or [SOAR](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-soar?ts=markdown), provides the ability to automate actions and responses based on the analytics. ## Benefits of Security Analytics There are five main benefits security teams can realize from security analytics: 1. \*\*Threat detection:\*\*User behavior analytics and identity analytics powered by machine learning help to identify irregular patterns and behavior that may be indicative of an attack. SOC teams receive alerts for further investigation. 2. \*\*Automated investigations:\*\*Automated data analysis helps to facilitate investigations by reducing mean time to investigate and providing analysts with the information they need at their fingertips. 3. \*\*Respond to security incidents:\*\*Security analytics platforms now offer workflow and SOAR capabilities for response. 4. \*\*Threat hunting:\*\*The ability to quickly query across datasets enables threat hunting capabilities. Security teams can use large datasets quickly to proactively hunt across environments and locate attacks that may otherwise be overlooked. 5. \*\*Meet compliance requirements:\*\*Security teams can track and report on regulatory requirements such as HIPPA and PCI DSS. Compliance managers can monitor regulated data and identify potential noncompliance issues. Both can use dashboards to track compliance. ## SIEM vs. Security Analytics Historically, one of the disadvantages of SIEM is the reactive vs. passive approach to security. Security analytics began to emphasize the actual analysis of data instead of just data management. Noting this limitation, most "next-gen" SIEMs have added more functionality, and the line between SIEM and security analytics continues to blur. Security analytics has evolved quickly due to the ability to analyze and provide automated outcomes. ## Our Approach to Security Analytics As we look to the future of security analytics as well as the SOC, it is important for organizations to develop a strong security strategy, and partner with a vendor with a track record of innovation as well as a well-defined product vision. The security market continues to trend toward tool consolidation, and endpoint security solutions like EDR and XDR have started to overlap in capabilities with security analytics and SIEMs as organizations seek highly enriched telemetry, speedy investigations and automated response. Stopping today's threats requires a radically new approach to security operations. [Cortex XSIAM](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2022/02/extended-security-intelligence-and-automation-management/?ts=markdown) helps the modern SOC evolve from a reactive and human-first approach -- that cannot scale to keep up with ever-increasing threats -- toward the vision of an AI-driven, autonomous SOC. XSIAM embeds automation and analytics wherever possible to help outpace threats, provide near-real-time response and reduce SOC costs. The Cortex product family -- including [Cortex XSIAM](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex/cortex-xsiam?ts=markdown), [Cortex XDR](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex/cortex-xdr?ts=markdown), [Cortex XSOAR](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex/cortex-xsoar?ts=markdown) and [Cortex Xpanse](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex/cortex-xpanse?ts=markdown) -- offers AI-driven, scalable and comprehensive security for the SOC of the future.

Security analytics refers to the process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting security data to detect threats, respond to incidents, and strengthen an organization's security posture. It helps uncover patterns and anomalies that traditional security tools might miss. ### How does security analytics differ from SIEM? While SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platforms collect and correlate security event data, security analytics takes a deeper approach by applying machine learning, behavioral analysis, and advanced analytics to identify threats with greater accuracy and context. ### What types of data are used in security analytics? Security analytics uses a wide range of data including network logs, endpoint data, firewall logs, user behavior data, threat intelligence feeds, and cloud activity logs. ### Can security analytics detect insider threats? Yes. Security analytics can help detect insider threats by analyzing user behavior over time, identifying unusual access patterns, and correlating activity across systems to flag potentially malicious actions from internal users. ### What are the benefits of using AI in security analytics? AI enhances security analytics by automating threat detection, reducing false positives, accelerating incident response, and adapting to evolving threats through continuous learning.
