WHAT IS SIEM
SIEM stands for – Security Information & Event Management – and is a solution that combines legacy tools; SIM (Security Information Management) and SEM (Security Event Management).
THE ROLE OF SIEM WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) software gathers and consolidates log data from various components within an IT infrastructure, including cloud platforms, applications, network devices, and security tools like firewalls and antivirus programs. This centralized system then processes and analyzes the data, categorizing and identifying potential security incidents and events. Advanced SIEM solutions provide real-time alerts, detailed dashboards, and comprehensive reports to critical business and management units.
