Security information and event management

Security information and event management, also known as SIEM, is like having a superhero that can find bad guys who might try to hurt your computer systems.

Imagine that your computer system is like a big house with lots of doors and windows. Just like you would want to keep the doors and windows locked to keep bad guys out, your computer system needs protection too.

SIEM is a superhero that helps protect your computer system by watching for any unusual activity. It acts like a security guard and looks for signs of trouble. For example, if someone tries to break in by guessing your password too many times, SIEM will raise an alarm and tell you what happened.

SIEM uses special tools to collect information from different parts of your computer system. It looks at things like your login history, network traffic, and system configuration. This information is used to identify potential threats or unusual activity that might be a sign of a security problem.

Think of SIEM like a detective that is always on the lookout for bad guys trying to get in. It's always watching and analyzing data to make sure that your computer system is safe and secure.
