SIEM Before You Buy
"In the face of increasing regulatory pressures and headline-grabbing hacking activities, enterprises are deploying an ever increasing volume of dedicated security tools. As a result, they are drowning in log and alert data to the point where the tools inhibit their own value. Implementing Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) allows enterprises to manage and respond to an ever-widening range of threats and compliance requirements by consolidating, aggregating, correlating, and reporting on security events." (infotech)
