Z-SIEM is Zepkos proprietary methodology for ensuring each and every SIEM engagement is a success. An evergreen business and operations process model is implemented at the heart of this approach:

• Z-SIEM Solution = Technology (~ 30%) + Processes (~ 70%)
  
  

There are many different factors to consider in taking the decision of engaging a SIEM project and each organisation must weigh up the pros and cons of this decision path whilst balancing their own specific needs and objectives. Zepko help make this decision process as pain-free as possible by offering a comprehensive Feasibility Study prior to any pilot being introduced. This enables a fully informed Go No Go decision to be made and can provide the basis for a business case for any internal investment identified.

Companies should not be choosing a SIEM system from a rigid and inflexible checklist and attempting to make internal processes fit around it quite the opposite, the solution must be flexible, sustainable and fit with your business process and functions and continue to grow and evolve in line with emerging business operations and performance targets.

Solution is an oft overused but key word in the formula above, a product is simply that until it becomes a part of the everyday modus operandi of an organisation. Only when the workflow, escalation, reporting and compliance reporting processing capabilities are ingrained within the company can the implementation be termed a solution offering real, tangible benefits to the business.
