Despite its advantages, implementing SIEM can pose several challenges, including:
Complexity and Cost: SIEM solutions can be complex to implement and maintain, often requiring significant investment. Data Overload: The sheer volume of data generated can overwhelm systems and staff if not managed properly. False Positives: SIEM can generate numerous false alerts, which can lead to alert fatigue and missed genuine threats. Skilled Resources: Requires skilled personnel to configure, manage, and interpret SIEM data effectively.
