Security Information and Event Management
SIEM technology will continue to evolve through multiple features and deployment models to deliver a security system of record with comprehensive threat detection, investigation and response capabilities. This research helps security and risk management leaders evaluate providers in this space.
Market Definition
Security information and event management (SIEM) is a configurable system of record that collects, aggregates and analyzes security event data from on-premises and cloud environments. SIEM processes security event data for the purposes of threat detection, investigation and response. It natively supports data normalization and offers user-configurable detection content and reporting to orchestrate threat mitigation and satisfy compliance requirements. These solutions are delivered via a SaaS platform or client-hosted on-premises or private cloud.
The security information and event management (SIEM) system must assist with:
-
Aggregating and normalizing data from various IT and operational technology (OT) environments.
-
Designing and executing near real-time monitoring and alerting content.
-
Enriching and investigating security events of interest.
-
Supporting manual and automated response actions.
-
Maintaining and reporting on current and historical event data.
