Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a solution that provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated by hardware and software systems.

SIEM software collects, correlates, and analyzes data from across an organisation’s IT infrastructure, including firewalls, servers, endpoints, and applications. It helps security teams identify potential security incidents, monitor network activities, and comply with regulatory requirements.

SIEM systems are essential for detecting advanced threats, reducing the time to identify and respond to incidents, and maintaining a comprehensive security posture across complex environments.
