How does SIEM work?
SIEM collects log and event data generated by an organization’s application, security devices and host systems and brings them together into a single centralized platform. SIEM gathers data from antivirus events, firewall logs and other locations. It then categorizes these data. When a threat has been identified through network security monitoring, it generates an alert and defines a threat level based on predetermined rules.
