What Is SIEM? Collecting Security Events in One Place

A SIEM collects logs from firewalls, servers, endpoints and applications. It correlates the logs and alerts on suspicious events.

Quick Definition

A platform that collects security event logs from different systems in one place, correlates them and raises alerts.

Why Does It Matter?

A single log is often meaningless. Correlated logs reveal an attack. A SIEM also meets the need to retain logs for audits.

Core Principles & How It Works

1Collection: Logs merge in one central place.
2Correlation: Rules link events from different sources.
3Alerting and retention: Alarms are raised. Logs are kept for the legal period.
Primary Enterprise Risks

What Threats Arise from Inadequate Protection?

  • ✕Late detection of an attack because logs are scattered.
  • ✕Team fatigue from noisy alerts.
