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This belief is now outdated.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.
