Why is Content-Aware Security Information & Event Management Important?

Tags

Security Information and Event Management, Siem, or undertakes to perform several functions:

* Newspaper Collection - combining all the appropriate safety information for storage and analysis.
* Detection of incidents - using logs and events to detect threats, generally correlated.
* Storage of information - newspapers collected should be kept for compliance and forensic examination.
* Reporting - often compliance, SIEM should be able to access information stored in the form of reports to offer.
* Incident Response - providing details and context needed to investigate the alleged threats to stop them, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Most Siems first and second generation is not the promise. Why? Because an effective security should also look for log analysis. Legacy Siems lack of performance and scalability of deeper: the information flow network, the core business data, activity log, and implementation of content - despite its importance for safety and compliance cannot - are supported by these Siems more.
