Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

SIEM is a technology that provides real-time monitoring, analysis, and correlation of security events generated from various sources within an organization’s network.

It enables security teams to identify and respond to potential security threats in a timely manner.

SIEM solutions collect and aggregate data from various sources such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus software.

The data is then analyzed and correlated to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate a security threat.

SIEM also provides reporting and alerting features, allowing security teams to quickly respond to potential security incidents.

It can also integrate with other security technologies such as threat intelligence feeds and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.

Overall, SIEM is a critical component of any organization’s security infrastructure, providing real-time visibility into potential security threats and enabling rapid response to mitigate those threats.
