“SIEMonster is an infinitely scalable SIEM solution that expands automatically as our customers grow.”

Brand history

SIEMonster launched in 2015 when a seasoned team of hackers spotted a gap in the SIEM market.

With more than 20 years’ experience in penetration testing and whitehat hacking into companies around the world, founders Chris and Dez Rock and their team set out to build their own SIEM solution. “SIEMonster is an infinitely scalable SIEM solution that expands automatically as our customers grow,” explains CISO Chris Rock. “SIEMonster’s affordability lies in the fact it doesn’t charge by Events Per Second (EPS), or penalize customers who want to monitor all their network devices. SIEMonster provides our customers with automated tasks and data enrichment, reducing the need to hire additional expert security consultants which are hard to find. SIEMonster offers a white label solution for partners that automatically scales with their customers’ growth.”

for two years to build them an affordable, scalable SIEM solution that could monitor servers, routers and firewalls, as well as complex SCADA systems, like blast furnaces and automated heavy equipment. Mr Johnston explained that BlueScope needed continuous monitoring and alerting capabilities but couldn’t justify the cost of the solutions at the time. He admitted that BlueScope had had a “pretty tough few years and were quite challenged in terms of cost. Looking at the marketplace, software costs are in the hundreds of thousands.” He also expressed frustration at the installation time and costs: “By the time you get a project team in to do the integration, it’s usually $1 million plus.”
