A SIEM system collects and analyzes logs from across a network to detect threats and provide real-time alerts.
Why it matters:
- Helps security teams see patterns across multiple systems.
- Speeds up detection and response to suspicious activity.
- Often integrated with SOCs and compliance tools.
Pro tip: SIEM is only as good as its configuration — tuning alerts prevents “noise” from drowning out real threats.
