Guarding Your Data: Sigma’s Proactive Cyber Security Measures

A recent global study by Sigma Cyber Security Association and industry analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) revealed that 57 percent of cybersecurity teams were overworked and burned out in 2021. This skills shortage problem will take a long time to resolve, and while it’s impossible to completely eliminate the issue, there are some mitigation options available. A relatively new tool called Sigma rules is one such solution that lightens the workload for SOC engineers.

Developed by open source security tools developer Florian Roth and incident response expert Thomas Patzke, Sigma is an agnostic way of sharing threat detections between defenders. Similar to YARA and Snort rules, but based on SIEM instead of files or network traffic, Sigma allows SOC engineers to share detections in a standardized format, which removes the need to create and store vendor or platform-specific search query language.

With a community of over 15’000 contributions since its inception, sigma rules are easy to deploy using a ready-made script (sigma-cli) and a CI/CD pipeline. They are also easy to migrate, as they use YAML and can easily be translated into a wide variety of other SIEM search syntaxes. If you notice any issues with sigma-cli, or have an idea for a feature that would make it better, feel free to lodge an issue on the project GitHub page.
