The security information and event management (SIEM) platform is the central analytics tool for the security operations center. Telemetry and log data from other security tools are brought into the SIEM so that it can be correlated, and new understanding can be gained when it is analyzed together rather than in separate silos. Bringing the data together makes investigations easier, helping identify more adversary activity and increasing the efficiency of the security team. This in turn lowers the probability of large-scale attacks because teams detect adversary activity earlier and can stop threat actors before they take down an entire system.
