The Brains Of The Operation
The need for continuous monitoring and incident response, adhering to compliance requirements, gaining and maintaining certifications and managing and retaining logs are driving demand for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). The next-generation SIEM offerings can facilitate security analytics with statistical modeling, pattern modeling and machine learning.
SIEM tools can help companies manipulate data and guide decisions for event detection and are also used to identify potential breaches and dwelling threats from disparate network areas. Some of the drivers for security analytics include automation for error detection and remediation, adherence to stringent compliance mandates, holistic visibility, log collection and management, and reduced false positives.
