The primary purpose of a SIEM system is to provide centralized visibility into an organization’s security posture by aggregating and correlating security events and logs. By analyzing these events, SIEM systems can detect and alert on security incidents, threats, and vulnerabilities. They can also provide real-time monitoring, threat intelligence, and compliance reporting.
Key features of a SIEM system include:
Log collection
Log aggregation and correlation
Real-time monitoring
Alerting and notifications
Incident response and investigation
Compliance reporting
Threat intelligence integration
