Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIEM platform do you recommend?+
Wazuh (open source — no licensing cost, great for most companies), Elastic SIEM (if you already use Elastic), or cloud-native (AWS GuardDuty/GCP SCC if single-cloud). We recommend Wazuh for the best cost/capability ratio.
How much storage do logs require?+
Typical mid-size company generates 5-20 GB/day of logs. With 90-day retention (PCI DSS minimum), that's 450-1800 GB. We configure compression and tiered storage to manage costs.
Will we get too many false positive alerts?+
We tune detection rules during the first week to reduce false positives. Typical setup produces 5-15 actionable alerts per day. We use severity classification so critical alerts are immediately escalated while low-severity are batched for daily review.
Can this detect ransomware attacks?+
Yes. We configure rules for ransomware indicators: mass file encryption patterns, shadow copy deletion, known ransomware command-and-control communication, and suspicious PowerShell execution.
Does the $590 include ongoing monitoring?+
No — this is setup only. After setup, your team monitors the dashboards and responds to alerts. For managed monitoring, see our Compliance-as-a-Service (CR-CROSS-04, $790/month) which includes ongoing SIEM review.
