Security information and event management (SIEM) tools centralize, correlate, and analyze data across the IT network to detect security issues. Core functionality of a SIEM includes log management and centralization, security event detection and reporting, and search capabilities. This combination helps companies meet compliance needs and identify and contain attackers faster.
No matter which SIEM you choose, deployment takes careful planning. This checklist includes the tried-and-true steps to follow and questions to ask yourself throughout the process.
