This document discusses security information and event management (SIEM) systems. It describes how a SIEM system collects and analyzes log and event data from various sources like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, applications, and networks. It then uses rule-based and statistical correlation to parse, normalize, and process large amounts of semi-structured data to identify security incidents and threats. The SIEM system helps aggregate millions of events into meaningful security alerts and assists in incident response investigations.
