Analytics Insight, Wednesday, November 15,2023
In the past, when an organization had a security tool like a firewall or antivirus software, they were sure of protecting their web footprint. However, security attacks are becoming more complex and complicated for these standalone security tools to handle all by themselves.
Hence, there's a need for a higher level and more sophisticated web security tool like an SIEM platform to help an organization provide proactive security instead of passive. Below, we will be discussing the meaning of SIEM technology, how it works to detect malicious activity, and the advantages of using it.
What is SIEM and How Does it Work?
Security information and event management, SIEM, is simply a security infrastructure or framework that helps organizations monitor, analyze, and respond to web threats before they can create any harm. This type of solution comes from the combination of two security frameworks to form a more sophisticated infrastructure. Security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM) are the two concepts combined to form SIEM. In other words, it is a combination of managing security information and events to prevent the success of cyber threats.
