LogRhythm Implementation

1.
Platform Administration:o Install, configure, and maintain LogRhythm SIEM platform components (collectors, processors, and storage). o Manage system updates, patches, and upgrades to ensure platform security and functionality. o Monitor the health and performance of the platform, ensuring high availability and reliability. o Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to the LogRhythm platform, including data ingestion, alerts, and reporting. o Perform periodic backups of configurations and ensure recovery processes are tested. 2. Security Monitoring & Event Management:o Work with the security operations team to tune and optimize event correlation rules, policies, and alerts. o Analyze and review LogRhythm logs and events to identify potential security incidents or vulnerabilities. o Configure and maintain custom log sources and integrations, ensuring all necessary data is ingested into the platform. o Collaborate with other IT teams to integrate additional security tools into LogRhythm (e.g., firewalls, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection systems). 3. Incident Response Support:o Assist with investigating security incidents by providing insights from LogRhythm dashboards, reports, and logs. o Create custom reports and alerts to aid in incident detection and response. o Provide technical support to security analysts during incident investigations. 4. Reporting & Dashboards:o Develop and maintain customized dashboards and reports tailored to the organization's security requirements. o Create automated reports for compliance and audit purposes. o Provide visibility into security metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to stakeholders. 5. Performance Optimization:o Continuously assess and improve the performance of the LogRhythm platform, ensuring efficient data processing and storage. o Identify and address any performance bottlenecks related to data ingestion, correlation, and reporting. 6. Collaboration & Documentation:o Collaborate with internal teams to identify and address emerging security threats. o Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation for platform configuration, processes, and incident resolution. o Train and support team members on LogRhythm best practices and usage. 7. Compliance & Security Standards:o Ensure the platform is configured to comply with industry regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS). o Conduct periodic reviews of platform configurations to ensure alignment with internal security policies. Required Skills and Qualifications: Education:Bachelors degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience. Experience:o Minimum of 4 6 years of experience in managing SIEM platforms, preferably with LogRhythm. o Experience with LogRhythm deployment, administration, and troubleshooting. o Strong understanding of security technologies (firewalls, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection, etc.). o Knowledge of log management, event correlation, and incident response workflows. Technical Skills:o Hands on experience with LogRhythm platform components (Collectors, Processors, and Storage). o Familiarity with Linux/Unix and Windows server environments. o Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell) for automation and customization. o Familiarity with network protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS). o Experience with creating and managing alerts, dashboards, and reports. o Knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, CIS, etc.) and compliance regulations. Preferred Skills: LogRhythm certifications (e.g., LogRhythm Certified Security Engineer). Experience with other SIEM platforms (Splunk, QRadar, etc.) is a plus. Experience with cloud environments and cloud native SIEM solutions. Strong understanding of threat intelligence platforms and integration. Soft Skills: Strong problem solving and analytical skills.
