SIEM Logging for Critical Systems
NiCE uses automated Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) applications. SIEM applications aggregate and monitor logs from critical systems. They do so in public and private cloud services.
Infrastructure
Selections for monitoring are prioritized as follows:
-
Systems that manage authentication.
-
Systems that control access or act as security gateways.
-
Production systems that directly process, transmit, or store client-sensitive data.
-
Other systems as required based upon compliance or risk assessment.
Examples include:
-
Critical network and system assets such as:
-
Firewalls
-
Load balancers
-
Core switches
-
Edge routers
-
Anti-virus servers
-
Voice gateways
-
-
Other devices identified via an audit are added or not added, based on:
-
Risk level
-
Resources
-
Cost
-
Product servers of high risk may include:
-
API
Application Programming Interface. Allows you to automate certain functionality by connecting your NiCE CXone system with other software. and Web (Tenant interface to product, public facing). -
Media (scripts and connectivity calls).
-
Core Servers (VC, a primary application server).
Devices responsible for authentication, access control, and that contain or handle data are typically monitored. Other servers are added to the SIEM applications as log sources and identified, as required.
