SIEM
Stands for Security Information and Event Management or SIEM for short. To paraphrase what SIEM solutions offer, they help an organisation detect, analyse, and respond to security threats. This can either be for means of prevention from a cyber security threat or reflection of a breach. The latter being important too especially when in comes to strengthening an environment. Often without such platforms, post breach it’s difficult to identify likely points of entry where threat actors compromised a network. Consequentially, bolstering potential weaknesses can become more challenging without such insight.
