Security Information Event Management (SIEM)

The promise of SIEM is the consolidation of all relevant Security Event Logs from disparate sources into a single unified and normalized data store. This provides the opportunity to: 

• Simplify compliance monitoring/reporting
  
• Vastly improve Incident Detection & Incident Response
  
• Contextualize event information with other business relevant information (e.g., CMDB/Vulnerability data) 
  

Critical to maximizing the likelihood of success of a SIEM project is choosing the right log management approach, architecture, and operational model. Download our "SIEM: Five Best Practices for Success" to maximize the likelihood of success for your SIEM initiative.

SIEM is also commonly referred to as SIM (Security Information Management) and SEM (Security Event Management).
