What is Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)?

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a software solution that combines security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM). SIEM systems collect and analyze security data from various sources across an organization's IT infrastructure to identify potential security threats and vulnerabilities. It provides real-time monitoring, analysis, and reporting of security events to help organizations detect and respond to security incidents quickly and effectively. SIEM is commonly used for threat detection, compliance reporting, incident response, and security auditing.
