π¦What Types of Attacks Does SIEM Detect?
1οΈβ£Unauthorized Access
While unauthorized access isnβt a specific type of attack, it is typically indicative that one may be in progress. An external attacker may use something like brute force attack to attempt to crack a userβs password, but a SIEM solution can detect repeated access attempts. Once detected, a SIEM can escalate this information to a security analyst in real time, enabling them to investigate the event and lock the account if there arenβt already built-in parameters limiting the number of login attempts.
2οΈβ£Insider Attacks
There are two types of insider attackers: malicious and accidental. A malicious insider is either an unhappy or opportunistic employee that uses the access they have to steal or sabotage sensitive data. It may also be a former employee who has not yet had their credentials deleted. A SIEM can monitor employee behavior and flag any activity that is unexpected for that particular user or access level. For example, if an ex-employeeβs account suddenly became active or if an employee is accessing files or databases they donβt need in order to do their job, these events would immediately be escalated to a security analyst.
3οΈβ£Accidental insider attacks are those who unintentionally help an external bad actor to pivot during an attack. For example, if an employee misconfigured a firewall, this would leave an organization more vulnerable to a breach. Since security configurations are so vital, a SIEM can create an event any time a change is made, escalating it to a security analyst to ensure that it was intentional and correctly implemented.
4οΈβ£Malware Infection
Malware is a broad term that generally includes any type of software that is created to disable or damage computer systems, like viruses, ransomware, worms, trojans, etc. While security logs may send out alerts that could indicate a breach, it could also just as easily be a false alarm. SIEM solutions use event correlation to better determine true infections and potential origin points of attack.
5οΈβ£Denial of Service Attacks
A denial-of-service (DoS) attack disrupts the standard operation of a system or device, like a network server. This attack floods the target with traffic, which blockades normal traffic and forces it to deny access. Such attacks typically result in a slowdown of service or a total crash. A SIEM would be able to flag such an abnormal event from web traffic logs, prioritizing the event and sending it to an analyst for further investigation.
6οΈβ£Hijacking
Hijacking is when an attacker seizes control of systems, networks, or applications. For example, session hijacking can take place when a threat actor intercepts session tokens to gain access to a user account. SIEM solutions monitor user behavior and can detect suspicious activity, like a user accessing systems they donβt typically use or having more than one active session. Additionally, any changes to root access are logged, so if a threat actor attempted to escalate privileges, a SIEM can escalate this information to the security team.
7οΈβ£Advanced Persistent Threats
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are incredibly sophisticated attackers who use a high degree of stealth over a prolonged duration of time in order to compromise and retain access to a system. Because these attacks are so stealthy, they may not trigger alerts in certain parts of the system, or the alerts they do cause are dismissed as benign. Having event correlation in a SIEM solution helps demonstrate a pattern of abnormal behavior, flagging it as a true concern that security analysts should look into.

An external attacker may use something like brute force attack to attempt to crack a userβs password, but a SIEM solution can detect repeated access attempts.
