Security Event Management - Topic Overview


Security Event Management (SEM)

As threats to IT security continue to evolve and change, we are seeing a constant stream of new defence mechanisms, making security infrastructures ever more complex. SEM counteracts this growing complexity and helps you stay in control. SEM solutions continuously analyse the behaviour of your IT infrastructure, and also include the following basic functions:

  • Monitoring all relevant object
  • Normalising and storing event data in a central location
  • Central data archiving
  • Manual analysis and reporting
  • Data correlation and automatic event generation
  • Reports for compliance, audits, and management

Solution performance is key, so that if an incident occurs you can react immediately rather than just dealing with the subsequent fallout. In addition to real-time analysis, the ability to create reports is becoming more important for auditing purposes and to meet regulatory requirements, such as SOX or Basel II. Management also wants to know what threats are really out there and how they are evolving. Deployed correctly, SEM solutions don’t just help you catch the criminals red-handed; they save you time and money in meeting diverse reporting requirements.
