How Does SIEM Work?

SIEM software works by collecting log and event data produced from
applications, devices, networks, infrastructure, and systems to draw analysis
and provide a holistic view of an organization’s information technology (IT).

SIEM solutions can reside either in on-premises or cloud environments.

Analyzing all of the data in real-time, SIEM solutions use rules and statistical
correlations to drive actional insight during forensic investigations. SIEM
technology examines all data, sorting threat activity according to its risk level
to help security teams identify malicious actors and mitigate cyberattacks
quickly.
