What is SIEM software? How it works and how to choose the right tool?

 SIEM software

Security information and event management (SIEM) software are used to give the cybersecurity professionals the records of different activities carried out in the IT department.

The function of SIEM software is to collect log data and combines that data. The log data used by SIEM software is generated through the secure infrastructure, host system, application to network and security products used by the firm such as antivirus or firewall.

The software then identifies and categorizes incidents and events and analyzes them. The software provides a report on security-related incidents and events like successful and failed login, malicious activities, and malware. It also alerts the security team about activities that run against predetermined rule-sets.

SIEM tools and vendor selection
