Free SIEM and Compliance Toolset

Fifty-eight percent of cyberattacks target small and midsize businesses, and 60% of those companies will shut down within six months. Cybersecurity matters, and many organizations are being forced to adapt to it. Still, buying every tool required for full protection can be costly, and mastering multiple applications adds a steep learning curve. Many small and medium businesses cannot bear that burden. Unified Security Stack, a cybersecurity company established in 2017, recognized this and began developing a solution. Three years later, it introduced a free Unified Security Stack that oversees all core security services and combines several tools that would be very expensive if bought separately at market price. Although Unified Security Stack is still in an early go-live phase, the all-in-one cybersecurity platform already includes Log management (SIEM), Vulnerability Management, Identity Management, Incident Response, NIDS/HIDS, Endpoint Protection, Compliance manager, and File Classification, Threat Intelligence, Data Visualization/Analysis, and a robust Machine learning correlation engine. Will all of this stay free? Ricardo Valdes, Unified Security Stack's CEO, says the product was created to democratize cybersecurity and make it more affordable and simpler for everyone. It is simple and inexpensive enough to manage all essential cybersecurity services from one central place and user interface, and affordable enough to be free of charge if a business chooses the Community version. Free cybersecurity tools are always welcome, but what about the app's reputation? Is it safe to use? According to Unified Security Stack, most of the application components that handle and analyze data are open-source, and their code can be audited easily. Community contributions also play a significant role in developing and maintaining the solution. This enables them to keep the solution free while offering a surprisingly inexpensive enterprise version with support and some extra benefits for $975 per year. Spoiler alert: The application appears to favor supporting the financial and healthcare industries, as most of its current users are banks and healthcare-related institutions. The drawbacks: installation can be a nightmare for non-technical people. Even though the platform runs on Containers, it is supported only on Linux. They do, however, provide a very detailed guide with step-by-step instructions for tech-savvy users who want to try it out.
