Security information and event management

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Security Information and Event Management ( SIEM ) combines the two concepts Security Information Management (SIM) and Security Event Management (SEM) for the real-time analysis of security alarms from the sources of applications and network components. SIEM thus serves the computer security of an organization and is a software product that can be installed centrally or used as a cloud service.

The term security information event management (SIEM), coined in 2005 by Mark Nicolett and Amrit Williams from Gartner, includes:

  • the ability of products to collect, analyze and present the data from network and security components
  • dealing with security vulnerabilities
  • Operating system, database and application log files
  • external dangers
  • Real-time alerts

Some SIEM providers are: Arcsight, Empow, Exabeam, LogPoint, Logrhythm, QRadar and Splunk .
