DESCRIPTION


The issuing organization is seeking a security information event management (SIEM) software solution. The requested platform must support isolated, self-hosted, non-SaaS deployment in air-gapped environments, including the ability to apply manual updates for patches, threat intelligence libraries, and vulnerability definitions.

The solution must support a fully container-native architecture, with deployment of components as Docker containers using vendor-provided images. It should consolidate events across multiple sites into a single console, provide a common taxonomy of events, and retain both normalized and original raw event log formats for forensic purposes. The system must also allow customization to normalize and aggregate event fields beyond out-of-the-box normalized fields.

In addition, the platform must support forensic investigations during security incidents, including event timeline reconstruction, identification of compromised accounts or systems, log integrity verification, and export of evidence in standard formats. It must natively ingest unstructured and schemaless data, including formats such as PDF, DOCX, and TXT, without requiring vendor services, and support information collected from industry-standard vulnerability scanners, including vulnerability scanning and vulnerability database updates.
