Presentation One Brought to You by LogRhythm

Topic: Security Operations Maturity Model (SOMM)

SOMM explores how to assess and evolve the principle programs of the security operations center (SOC): threat monitoring, threat hunting, threat investigation, and incident response. LogRhythm developed the Threat Lifecycle Management (TLM) framework to help organizations ideally align technology, people, and process in support of these programs. The TLM framework defines the critical security operations technological capabilities and workflow processes that are vital to realize an efficient and effective SOC. LogRhythm’s SOMM helps organizations measure the effectiveness of their security operations, and to mature their security operations capabilities. Using our TLM framework, the SOMM provides a practical guide for organizations that wish to optimally reduce their mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) — thereby dramatically improving their resilience to cyberthreats.

We will also provide a brief demonstration of the Jazz Networks insider threat and detection platform.
