What is Security Information Event Management?

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a software solution that combines security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM). SIEM systems analyze security data in real-time for early detection of threats and vulnerabilities, often collecting and correlating data from various sources across an organization's IT infrastructure, including network devices, servers, applications, and databases. They are commonly used for threat detection, incident response, compliance reporting, and security monitoring.
