SIEM and security report

In a context where cybersecurity regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, ensuring compliance is no longer just a legal obligation, it’s a fundamental requirement for maintaining the trust of clients and partners.

Tools such as SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) play a crucial role in this process, enabling organizations to monitor, record, and analyze system activities to demonstrate their adherence to key regulations, including NIS2 and GDPR.

How SIEM enables regulatory compliance

Cybersecurity regulations like the NIS2 Directive, GDPR, and ISO 27001 standards require organizations to adopt appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data protection and effective incident management.

However, the real challenge for many companies lies in proving compliance, documenting every monitoring, analysis, and response activity.

This is where SIEM comes into play.

A SIEM system collects and correlates logs from all corporate devices and systems,such as firewalls, servers, endpoints, applications, and IoT devices, providing a comprehensive, real-time view of the organization’s security posture.

Thanks to its automated correlation and behavioral analysis capabilities, SIEM helps identify suspicious events, intrusion attempts, or data breaches.

More importantly, it records every activity in a structured and verifiable manner, ensuring the traceability required to meet audit and compliance obligations.

In practice, SIEM allows organizations to:

  • Centralize log collection and maintain logs in an unalterable format, as required by the GDPR.
  • Track and document access, changes, and security incidents.
  • Demonstrate the ability to promptly detect and respond to threats, as mandated by NIS2.
  • Automate the production of compliance reports according to predefined standards.

Security reports and audits

One of the main advantages of a Next-Generation SIEM system is its ability to automatically generate detailed and customizable security reports.

These reports are an essential resource for both internal and external audits, clearly demonstrating compliance with relevant regulations.

A security audit is an in-depth evaluation of an organization’s IT infrastructure and security practices, designed to identify existing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals.

  • SIEM-generated reports may include:
  • Statistics on detected security events.
  • A timeline of incidents and corresponding responses.
  • Vulnerability analyses and attack trend assessments.
  • Comparisons between current security levels and regulatory requirements.

By automating reporting, SIEM reduces the workload of SOC teams, minimizes the risk of human error, and ensures the consistency and reliability of data over time.

During a security audit, having up-to-date and verifiable reports makes it easier to demonstrate to regulators that security controls are in place and that monitoring processes are actively maintained.

The importance of conducting periodic security audits

Performing periodic security audits is one of the best practices for maintaining compliance and ensuring an organization’s cyber resilience.

Audits help verify that security controls are effective, up to date, and aligned with current regulations.

Without appropriate tools, collecting and analyzing the data required for an audit can be a lengthy and complex process.

A SIEM system simplifies and accelerates this process by allowing organizations to:

  • Automatically analyze system logs and detect abnormal behavior.
  • Highlight potential risk or non-compliance areas.
  • Demonstrate continuous monitoring and timely corrective actions.

Conducting regular audits with the support of a SIEM transforms compliance from a mere obligation into an opportunity, enhancing not only security but also corporate transparency and governance.

The features of SGBox for CGNAT

Understanding Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT)

Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) is a large-scale network address translation technology used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to manage the scarcity of IPv4 addresses.

It allows multiple customers to share a single public IPv4 address, effectively extending the lifespan of the IPv4 protocol by creating a private network within the ISP’s infrastructure, where each customer’s device is assigned a private IP address.

The CGNAT device then translates these private IP addresses to a limited pool of public IPv4 addresses when connecting to the internet.

Why CGNAT Log Management is essential

Managing CGNAT logs is not just a technical requirement: it’s a critical component of responsible network operation.

The sheer volume of data generated by CGNAT requires a robust and scalable solution for several key reasons:

  • Regulatory compliance: many countries have laws that require ISPs to store and provide access to network traffic data for a specific period. This is crucial for law enforcement and legal investigations. Without proper CGNAT logging, it’s impossible to trace user activity back to a specific public IP address and timestamp, leading to compliance failures and potential legal repercussions.
  • Problem solving: when customers experience connectivity issues, CGNAT logs are the first place to look. They provide the necessary information to diagnose network problems, identify bottlenecks, and resolve service-related complaints efficiently. By mapping internal IP addresses to their corresponding public IPs and ports, network administrators can pinpoint the source of a problem and quickly restore service.
  • Enhanced security: CGNAT logs are vital for network security. They help in identifying and investigating malicious activities such as DDoS attacks, spam campaigns, and other forms of cybercrime. By correlating log data, security teams can trace the origin of an attack back to the specific private IP address on the internal network, enabling them to take appropriate action.

How SGBox manages CGNAT Logs

SGBox offers a comprehensive and efficient solution for CGNAT Log Management, designed to handle the massive data volumes and unique requirements of ISP networks.

  • Connection logging: SGBox captures detailed information about every connection, including the source private IP address and port, the translated public IP address and port, the destination IP address and port, and the connection’s timestamp. This data provides a complete record of network activity.
  • Mapping and dynamic assignment: the SGBox platform intelligently handles the dynamic nature of CGNAT. It accurately maps the dynamically assigned private IP addresses to the shared public IPs, ensuring that a clear and verifiable link exists between each user and their internet traffic.
  • Log collection and analysis: SGBox collects logs from multiple CGNAT sources, centralizing them in a single, scalable repository. Its powerful analytics engine processes this data, enabling quick searches, correlation of events, and generation of reports for compliance and troubleshooting.
  • Data Export: the system supports various data export formats, making it easy to share log data with law enforcement agencies or other authorized parties, in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Key advantages of SGBox for CGNAT

SGBox stands out as an ideal solution for CGNAT Log Management due to its focus on performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

  • High-Volume Data Management: built to handle the immense volume of data generated by modern ISP networks, SGBox is a high-performance solution that ensures no data is lost or delayed.
  • Efficiency & reduced complexity: the platform simplifies the complex task of log management through an intuitive interface and automated processes, freeing up valuable IT resources.
  • Affordable cost: SGBox provides a high-value solution at a competitive price, making it accessible for ISPs of all sizes.

New Threats (Ransomware and AI): Defending with an Advanced SIEM

The current context: Ransomware and emerging AI threats

In recent years, Ransomware has become increasingly sophisticated and widespread. The rise of the Ransomware-as-a-Service model has enabled even criminals with limited skills to launch complex attacks.

In Italy, ransomware continues to rank among the most impactful threats during the first half of 2025, with a total of 91 attacks (compared to 92 in the first half of 2024). The most significant cases of the semester targeted a university, a hospital diagnostic lab, and several digital service providers for public administration. (Source: ACN Operational Summary).

The development of AI gives attackers new opportunities to create sophisticated threats that are becoming more frequent, adaptive, and difficult for traditional defense systems to detect.

This scenario makes intelligent and responsive security tools essential.

Challenges for SMEs, IT Managers, CISOs, and DPOs

Small and medium-sized businesses often lack dedicated security teams or large budgets. In this context, IT Managers, CISOs, DPOs, and Account Managers seek clear, effective, and ready-to-use solutions that ensure protection, business continuity, and regulatory compliance.

Why the adoption of an advanced SIEM is essential

A Next Generation SIEM leverages advanced contextual and behavioral data to detect subtle anomalies such as zero-day threats or unusual user behavior—issues that traditional defense systems often miss.

This enables the detection of silent attacks at their earliest stages, reducing response times and allowing the implementation of countermeasures to minimize damage.

Automation and Rapid Response

Modern SIEM solutions incorporate advanced correlation engines that proactively identify threat signals and trigger automated responses.

Centralization, continuous Monitoring, and Compliance

Advanced SIEMs centralize logs and events from multiple systems, enabling continuous monitoring and the creation of reports for security audits and compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS.

This streamlines operations and helps DPOs address regulatory requirements.

SGBox SOAR for the SOC team

What is SGBox SOAR and how does it work?

To address the growing challenges of cybersecurity, it is essential to implement automated countermeasures capable of reducing the average response time to an attack and quickly handling potential incidents.

This is where SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) comes into play—the feature included in the SGBox Platform that enables orchestration, automation, and automated incident response capabilities.

SGBox’s SOAR system integrates seamlessly with all the platform’s functionalities.

Based on logs and security events collected by the SIEM, it allows for the activation of intelligent automations to promptly tackle threats and enrich incidents with additional information.

Using predefined correlation rules and playbooks, SOAR can:

  • Identify real incidents and filter out false positives;
  • Automatically trigger containment, mitigation, or notification actions;
  • Provide security teams with a centralized and simplified view of events.

The benefits of automation for the SOC

Implementing a SOAR system lightens the daily workload of SOC teams, as demonstrated by our SG-SOC as a Service, provided through the dedicated CyberTrust 365 Business Unit.

SG-SOC integrates the features of the SGBox SIEM & SOAR Platform and leverages them to automate incident response and activate remediation activities.

Here’s how SOAR empowers the SG-SOC team:

  • Reduced average analysis time: Threats are handled in seconds, without downtime or delays caused by manual intervention.
  • Reduced stress for analysts: Repetitive, low-value tasks are automated, allowing SOC professionals to focus on more strategic analysis.
  • Process standardization: Thanks to predefined playbooks, every incident response follows a consistent pattern, reducing human errors.

Better alert management: The system helps prioritize real incidents, preventing the team from being overwhelmed by false positives.

For Italian SMEs, which often lack internal SOC teams, outsourcing cybersecurity management and monitoring to an external SOC service that integrates SOAR functionalities is a strategic move to mitigate risks and safeguard business operations without disproportionate investments.

SGBox SOAR: practical cases of automated response

The SGBox SOAR module is designed to offer intelligent and flexible automation, fully integrated with the platform’s other modules.

With simple and customizable configuration, it allows for the creation of automated playbooks for various security scenarios.

Reducing false positives and optimizing resources

A concrete example is the management of alerts from firewalls or endpoints. These systems often generate large numbers of alerts, many of which turn out to be false alarms.

  • SGBox SOAR streamlines the security operations workflow by:
  • Analyzing logs and cross-referencing them with up-to-date threat feeds;
  • Applying priority rules to distinguish actual attack attempts;

Automatically triggering isolation or notification actions only when truly necessary.

The result? A drastic reduction in false positives and more efficient incident management, allowing the SOC to focus on priority threats and respond more quickly and effectively.

How much time and resources can you save?

Thanks to process automation, SOC teams can:

  • Save up to 70% of the time spent managing repetitive alerts;
  • Reduce average incident response time from hours to minutes;
  • Lower operational costs related to IT security.

SGBox Cloud SIEM for SMEs

The myths about SIEM costs

When it comes to cybersecurity, one of the most common misconceptions among many Italian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is that a SIEM solution is expensive and suitable only for large companies with structured IT teams.

This belief is now outdated. Cyber threats do not discriminate based on company size: ransomware, targeted phishing, and unauthorized access affect SMEs just as much as large organizations—and SMEs are often more vulnerable precisely because they lack dedicated internal resources and cutting-edge technologies.

Thanks to SGBox, even SMEs can access advanced SIEM capabilities through a flexible, scalable cloud model with transparent costs.

SGBox: SaaS model with tailored licensing

Unlike traditional SIEMs that rely on licensing models based on log volume (which is difficult to estimate and often very expensive), SGBox adopts a licensing model based on the number of devices to be monitored.

This approach brings three key advantages:

  • Predictable costs: clear licensing model ensures full budget control.
  • Ease of activation: get started immediately without managing complex infrastructures.
  • Scalability: add new devices and modules as the business grows.

SGBox offers a full SaaS (Software as a Service) experience, where the entire infrastructure is managed within SGBox’s Cloud. Customers can focus on their core business while security is ensured by the proprietary Next Generation SIEM & SOAR platform, which is continuously updated with the latest features.

All the benefits of Cloud SIEM for SMEs

Choosing a Cloud SIEM means equipping your business with a tool that can:

Collect and analyze system, firewall, server, and application logs, identifying suspicious behavior.

  • Automatically detect threats and generate real-time alerts.
  • Correlate events across different devices, even if they are spread across multiple locations or used by remote workers.
  • Trigger automation workflows (SOAR) for rapid incident response.

Provide comprehensive reports for audits and manage compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

All of this is possible without hardware investments, without dedicated technical staff, and with updates included in the service.

Scalability and ease of use even without an internal IT team

One of SGBox’s standout features is its ease of use: the intuitive interface allows even small or non-specialized teams to monitor events and respond quickly.

In addition, guided onboarding and continuous support ensure a stress-free start and effective use of the system from day one.

The modular platform allows SGBox to adapt to specific security needs thanks to its scalable offering.

The progressive licensing model allows you to choose from four different bundles and start with essential features (Security Log Collection and Management), expanding over time based on evolving needs.

This is a fundamental requirement that enables SMEs to implement the solution precisely and gradually.

Widespread attacks in 2025

Today’s digital landscape, marked by the proliferation of digital devices and new technologies, is seeing a rise in cyber threats that can compromise data integrity and operational security in organizations.

But which are the most common attacks? And how can you protect yourself?

We discuss this in the following article, analyzing the most prevalent attacks and emerging trends across key industries, and showing how SGBox can provide the tools needed to enhance organizational cybersecurity.

Cyberattacks in 2025

In 2025, the manufacturing, healthcare, and financial sectors, along with cloud and IoT technologies, are facing a proliferation of sophisticated cyberattacks.

The main threats confirm and intensify known trends: ransomware (often delivered as a service – Ransomware-as-a-Service), advanced phishing campaigns (sometimes AI-driven), software supply chain compromises, DDoS attacks (including ransom DDoS – RDoS), and zero-day vulnerabilities.

New technologies (generative AI, cloud microservices, IoT devices) and geopolitical tensions (e.g., international conflicts) have driven criminals to innovate: API attacks are on the rise, AI is being used to craft personalized phishing, and enhanced IoT botnets (Mirai/R2-D2) are powering mega DDoS attacks.

At the same time, there is a growing number of malware-free attacks, targeted social engineering, and cloud credential compromises.

From a regulatory perspective, directives like NIS2 in the EU, along with emerging laws on AI and healthcare data, have expanded the risk landscape for SMEs.

Summary of Key 2025 Attacks by Sector/Technology (Source: ENISA Europe):

Widespread cyber attacks by sector

Main trends in Cyberattacks

  • Ransomware on the rise: it remains the number one threat across all sectors. Victims range from major manufacturers to hospital networks; in 2024, 65% of industrial companies suffered ransomware attacks.
  • The ransomware-as-a-Service model continues to spread: new groups like RansomHub (active since 2024) allow even less skilled criminals to launch attacks. On the other hand, international law enforcement has struck major gangs, but the impact is limited due to the rapid emergence of replacements.
  • Malware-free and AI-driven attacks: advanced techniques are increasingly used, leaving no traditional payload. Cyber criminals leverage generative AI to create highly convincing phishing and custom exploits.
  • Supply Chain and third parties: attacks on the software and hardware supply chain are increasing. Vulnerable firmware and open-source libraries are preferred targets: in 2024, a backdoor was found in an open-source project, discovered only due to unusual CPU spikes. Organizations, including SMEs, must now treat third-party providers and software vendors as potential attack vectors.
  • Geopolitics and hacktivism: the Russia-Ukraine war and other conflicts have driven waves of DDoS attacks and disinformation campaigns. In finance, geopolitical events triggered DDoS surges (e.g., 58% of attacks targeted European banks). Manufacturing, with global supply chains, is also exposed to political tensions: state actors seek industrial data or aim to disrupt adversaries’ critical production.
  • Regulations and compliance: in Europe, new directives like NIS2 and DORA mandate cybersecurity measures in many sectors (including manufacturing and finance SMEs). Additionally, the EU’s AI Act imposes strict rules on AI use (e.g., in factories or financial services).

In healthcare, stricter data protection requirements (e.g., Health Information laws) are pushing SMEs to enhance internal controls. These regulations increase penalties in the event of an incident and raise the minimum standards for defense.

The most widespread cyberattacks in 2025

How SGBox protects organizations from Cyberattacks

Detects early signs of an attack

Centralized Log analysis (SIEM)

All events from networks, endpoints, cloud, and IoT feed into a single platform that correlates them in real time, allowing you to detect advanced phishing or malicious intent early.

Proactive Vulnerability Management

Regular scans and detailed reports on weaknesses (including OT/IoT devices and legacy software) to plan patches and reduce the attack surface.

Exposed surface mapping and protection (EASM)

Automated checks of external assets, cloud services, and public resources (e.g., SPID portals, PagoPA) to find insecure configurations or Dark Web leaks.

Advanced MITRE ATT&CK detection

Analysis of indicators of compromise and attacker TTPs (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures) to pre-empt APTs, supply chain attacks, and DDoS campaigns.

Incident handling & forensic analysis

In case of a breach, SG-SOC immediately initiates forensic investigations to trace the attack chain, eliminate residual threats, and support compliance processes.

Compliance Support

Ready-to-use reports and dashboards to help meet regulatory requirements (e.g., NIS2, GDPR, AdS), simplify audits, and reduce the risk of fines.

NIS2 and DPO

The NIS2 Directive marks a turning point for cyber security in Europe, imposing higher standards on companies regarding network and information system security.

For Data Protection Officers (DPOs), adapting to these new regulatory requirements is not just an obligation but also an opportunity to strengthen corporate resilience and foster a widespread security culture.

In this article, we will explore the strategic actions that a DPO must implement to ensure compliance with NIS2, illustrating how the SGBox platform can provide the necessary tools to effectively support this process.

Understanding and analyzing the regulatory framework

The first step for a DPO is to gain a deep understanding of the requirements imposed by the NIS2 Directive.

This regulation introduces stricter measures for managing cyber security risks and requires stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors.

A DPO must:

  • Analyze the gaps: conduct a detailed assessment of the company’s current security status, identifying gaps in relation to the directive’s standards and overlap with GDPR.
  • Stay updated: keep track of regulatory developments and international best practices, ensuring that internal policies are always aligned with new European directives.

Developing an Integrated action plan

Once the regulatory framework is understood, the DPO must develop a detailed action plan that includes:

  • Defining objectives: set clear and measurable security goals, such as adopting advanced monitoring systems and incident response procedures.
  • Identifying necessary resources: determine the human, technological, and financial resources required to meet the set objectives.
  • Implementing audit and control processes: schedule periodic audits to monitor the effectiveness of implemented measures and ensure continuous improvement.

Risk Assessment and Management

Risk assessment is a fundamental component of effective security management:

  • Mapping risks: Identify all potential threats and vulnerabilities that could compromise data security and IT infrastructures.
  • Classifying assets: Evaluate the relative importance of different company assets, prioritizing protection measures based on the potential impact of an attack.
  • Continuous monitoring: Implement incident detection systems and monitoring tools to respond quickly to anomalies.

The SGBox platform proves to be a valuable ally in this phase, offering advanced real-time monitoring features and risk analysis tools.

With SGBox, the DPO can configure customized dashboards that integrate data from multiple sources, facilitating constant risk assessment and the management of critical assets.

Implementing technical and organizational measures

To comply with NIS2, it is essential to implement a series of technical and organizational measures, including:

  • Adopting cybersecurity solutions: utilize antivirus, firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and encryption solutions to protect sensitive data.
  • Continuous training: organize training sessions and updates for staff, increasing awareness of cyber risks and proper incident management procedures.
  • Backup and disaster recovery procedures: implement business continuity plans and secure backup solutions to ensure rapid recovery in case of an attack.

SGBox provides integrated support in this area, enabling centralized management of security solutions in a single platform.

This not only allows real-time security event monitoring but also efficiently manages backup and disaster recovery activities, ensuring business continuity.

Collaboration and communication with stakeholders

Compliance with NIS2 is not an isolated task but requires collaboration across various business departments and engagement with external stakeholders.

A DPO must:

  • Create an internal support network: establish effective communication channels between IT, legal, risk management, and communication departments to ensure a coordinated response to incidents.
  • Engage with authorities and partners: maintain an open dialogue with regulatory authorities (such as ACN) and external partners, sharing useful information to improve defense and prevention strategies.

The SGBox platform facilitates this collaboration with its reporting and document-sharing functionalities.

With SGBox, the DPO can create detailed and easily shareable reports, streamlining both internal and external communication and ensuring that all stakeholders are constantly informed about the security status.

Ongoing monitoring and periodic review

Compliance is not achieved merely through the initial implementation of measures but requires continuous monitoring and review:

  • Periodic audits: schedule regular checks to verify the effectiveness of implemented measures and address any issues.
  • Updating action plans: periodically review the action plan, integrating new technologies and regulatory updates to maintain an adequate security level against emerging threats.

With SGBox, the DPO can set up automatic notifications and periodic reports that simplify the review process.

The platform’s predictive analysis and machine learning capabilities help identify trends and potential vulnerabilities before they become serious problems.

The evolution of DPO’s role

The role of the DPO has evolved significantly with the introduction of the NIS2 Directive, requiring a proactive and structured approach to cyber security.

Through in-depth regulatory analysis, the development of an integrated action plan, continuous risk assessment, the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures, and constant communication with stakeholders, the DPO can ensure corporate compliance and effectively protect IT infrastructures.

The SGBox platform serves as a fundamental support in this journey, providing essential monitoring, integrated management, and advanced reporting tools to tackle the challenges posed by NIS2.

Investing in these technologies means not only complying with regulations but also strengthening corporate resilience against cyber threats, ensuring a secure and reliable environment for the entire business ecosystem.
