SIEM Shortcomings: Why 6 Out of 7 Attacks Stay Undetected and How to Fix It
SIEM systems are like security guards with questionable vision, catching only 1 in 7 threats. According to the Blue Report 2025, log collection failures and misconfigured rules leave organizations vulnerable, creating a false sense of security. Continuous validation is key to improving SIEM rule effectiveness and closing detection gaps.
Hot Take:
So, it turns out our beloved SIEM systems are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. Despite all the bells, whistles, and truckloads of cash, these systems are catching just one out of every seven attacks. It’s like going fishing with a net full of holes. Time to patch things up before our networks become all-you-can-eat buffets for cybercriminals!
Key Points:
- Organizations detect only 1 in 7 simulated attacks, revealing significant vulnerability gaps.
- Log collection failures are responsible for 50% of SIEM rule failures.
- Misconfigured detection rules cause 13% of rule failures.
- Performance issues account for 24% of detection failures in 2025.
- Continuous validation is crucial to maintaining SIEM rule effectiveness against evolving threats.
