SIEM (Security Information Event Management)

What exactly is a SIEM?

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a management solution that enables companies and organisations to detect and ward off threats and attacks on their IT systems before damage can impair or bring business to a standstill. During operation, SIEM continuously improves the standards for security, compliance and quality of IT systems based on rules.

Security Information and Event Management provides company management with valid key figures relating to the security of information and data. The increase in security is just as measurable as current sales figures, the development of markets or the status within production.

Security Information and Event Management System shows the activities within the IT landscape and analyses them according to attack criteria. SIEM collects log data from network components such as routers, firewalls, IT systems and applications, analyses these logs and sounds the alarm as soon as a suspicious combination of events is detected.

With the help of a SIEM, continuous, automated log and event monitoring of the systems for security-relevant incidents takes place. This enables security-relevant incidents to be recognised quickly and suitable countermeasures to be initiated.

The SIEM management solution prevents or minimises the damage that these security-relevant incidents can cause within the company.
