What is SIEM? A Beginner’s Guide
What Is Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)?
Security information and event management (SIEM) is a set of tools and services that combine security events management (SEM) and security information management (SIM) capabilities that helps organizations recognize potential security threats and vulnerabilities before business disruptions occur. SIM focuses on collecting and managing logs and other security data while SEM involves real-time analysis and reporting.
SIEMs provide visibility into malicious activity by pulling data from every corner of an environment and aggregating it in a single centralized platform, where it can be used to qualify alerts, create reports and support incident response. The ability to analyze data from all network applications and hardware at any time helps organizations recognize potential security threats before they have a chance to disrupt business operations.
