The tools which receive event logs from servers, network equipment, and applications, and perform analysis and correlation on those logs, and can generate alarms for security relevant issues, are known as what?
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems aggregate logs and alerts from across the network—servers, routers, firewalls, IDS/IPS, and applications—and correlate that data to identify suspicious or malicious activity.
They provide:
Real-time alerting
Long-term log storage
Compliance reporting
Incident response facilitation
