What are SIEM tools?
What is SIEM Software?
SIEM software ingests log and event data from various sources, such as security software and appliances, network infrastructure devices, applications, and endpoints, such as servers and PCs, to give IT security teams a centralized tool for spotting and responding to security incidents.
Why is SIEM Important?
To get an idea of how vital a SIEM is, consider the scale of the security incidents and data involved. A large enterprise may generate more than 25,000 events per second (EPS) and require 50 TB or more of data storage.
A SIEM's ability to filter through all the data and prioritize the most critical security issues makes security more manageable. An effective SIEM tool will pay for itself in staff time saved, even as the system itself requires management and tuning.
We were thinking of going with Solarwinds Security Event Manager, wanted to see if anyone had any other recommendations or thoughts on Solarwinds.
