What is SIEM?
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a system that collects and analyzes security-related data from multiple sources within an IT infrastructure. SIEM provides real-time monitoring, alerts, and reporting of potential threats.
Key Functions:
- Log aggregation and normalization from servers, network devices, and applications.
- Real-time threat detection using correlation rules.
- Incident investigation and forensic analysis.
- Compliance reporting for standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
SIEM systems help organizations detect and respond to security incidents faster while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
